Set on a forsaken island off Jakarta’s northern coast, a place steeped in arcane energy and unsolved mysteries, you will face anomalous entities, cursed objects, and strange phenomena that modern science cannot explain. Using specially designed tools infused with ancient amulets, you’ll confront these exotic creatures and spiritual threats. As a member of a covert containment agency comprising scientists, exorcists, and believers your mission is to locate and secure cursed items believed to fuel the island's paranormal activity. But the danger doesn’t just come from the supernatural; one of your team members may fall victim to possession, threatening your mission from within. Explore the eerie island, customize your character, and choose how you’ll communicate and confront the dangers that await. Team up with fellow agents to survive, uncover the island’s secrets, and stop the evil forces at play. DreadHaunt—where every decision matters and survival depends on trust.

Press reviews: “Early Access Impressions – That said, I do see some clear potential in DreadHaunt, and once you get the hang of the mechanics, it can be fun to play with friends. At the moment, it’s very reasonably priced, which is always a plus, and my prior positive experiences with Digital Happiness’ creative output is making me cautiously optimistic about the overall future of the game. But at the same time, the game is currently in a very early stage (and is advertised as such, so fair enough on that front) and is going to need a lot more content and variety to not only draw players in, but to keep them as well.” GTOGG
