An asymmetrical co-op horror game set inside a cursed Victorian dollhouse? Sounds creepy; count us in! In Haunted, one player (the Supervisor) is locked inside the dollhouse and must navigate your way through – every run is different because puzzles will shift and new problems will confront you – while up to three Explorer players are locked inside the full-size Woodman Manor that holds the dollhouse. To survive, developer Coven says, “both sides must communicate to solve intricate puzzles, escape malevolent entities, and uncover the tragic story of the Woodman family.”
“Haunted brings the tension of communication under pressure into the horror space,” says Game Director Céline Tricart from developer Coven. “It’s a game about teamwork, fear, and the unsettling bond between those who watch and those who are trapped.”
Haunted is aiming to launch into Early Access on PC in October of 2026, with console and VR support to follow. Wishlist it on Steam if you’re interested.
