Ghost Haunting: A pixel art point & click adventure with demons, dead grannies, and heart

[ccgr]

GHOST HAUNTING brings pixelated mischief, cheeky demons, and heartwarming chaos to the world of point & click adventures
It’s cute. It’s spooky. It’s a love letter to the 90s.

Hamburg, Germany – July 10, 2025 – Daedalic Entertainment and Three Headed Monkey Studios are teaming up to release a brand-new, classic-style adventure game. GHOST HAUNTING blends lovingly hand-drawn 2D visuals with subtle spookiness and dark humor—true to the spirit of genre-defining point-and-click classics. Developed by a new indie team of true 90s kids, the game offers a nostalgic yet modern take on the traditional adventure formula: An all-new 2D point & click adventure with a big nostalgic heart, modern comforts, and a protagonist who isn’t even old enough to ride a ghost train alone. Players join 8-year-old Gigi on her journey into the afterlife, armed with nothing but her curiosity, questionable logic, and a talking pumpkin-demon named Baron Butt(er)nut.



During a supposedly relaxing vacation, Gigi stumbles upon the family secret: her grumpy grandpa Giovanni is a legendary ghost hunter. This revelation quickly spirals into a plan to bring back her late grandma from the realm of the dead. How hard can it be? Spoiler: very hard. And potentially world-ending.

With handcrafted pixel art and a quirky cast of characters (say hello to the Gargoyle Labor Union and some one-quarter-dead zombies), this game is a story that explores grief, growing up, and ghoulish missteps. GHOST HAUNTING delivers everything players love about the golden age of adventures—without the frustration.

Key Features:

Classic point & click gameplay with a modern twist

Built-in hint system, hotspot highlighting, and fast travel

A “Not-getting-stuck” guarantee

Wholesome chaos meets heartfelt storytelling

Zero jump scares. Probably.

A brand-new IP with serious sequel energy

Whether you're here for the puzzles or the puns, GHOST HAUNTING is ready to make you laugh, cry, and maybe question the ethics of interdimensional travel.

Wishlist now and prepare to journey into the afterlife, the fun way.
