Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and Three Headed Monkey Studios have announced that their new 2D point-and-click adventure Ghost Haunting will be released on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 in 2027.
The Classic Spirit of LucasArts Adventures
The game draws inspiration from classic genre titles by LucasArts, offering handcrafted pixel art, dark humor, and a charismatic protagonist, Gigi, whose puzzle-solving methods rarely leave furniture intact.
According to the plot, young Gigi learns that her grumpy grandfather Giovanni is a legendary ghost hunter. The girl reaches a completely "logical" conclusion: if ghosts can visit the living, she too can journey into the realm of the dead and bring her grandmother home. A chatty pumpkin demon named Baron Butternut steps in to help her, and no one intends to ask grandfather's permission.
Modern Conveniences and Classic Puzzles
Ghost Haunting combines classic adventure mechanics with modern enhancements, including:
- Built-in hint system
- Hotspot highlighting on screen
- Fast travel between locations
- Progress evaluation system
Considering Daedalic's solid experience in creating series such as Deponia and Edna & Harvey, fans of the genre can expect a colorful and high-quality adventure.
