At first the game seems easy, but its a pretty good puzzle game that revolves around the use of magical colored lanterns to open secret doors and find levers. Not a long game, but hunting all the treasures which do nothing may be of interest? The goal is to save Grandpa!!! The bad part of the game is that the lanterns run out which can leave you trapped unable to complete a level, luckily their not long though so restarting isnt a big deal. Poor instructions means going old school when getting into fights, just figuring out how to beat a boss, or an enemy, such as the last boss where you just drop a bunch of Holy hand Grenades, yep those are in the game, its fun. Later levels are very dark testing your memory, providing a good challenge. magical weapons in the game are a few, if you put them down they only reappear randomly once, so carry those through the whole game, except that eye of horus it appears a few times.
nostalgia: Game is based on a very old atari 2600 cartridge which was played in a console that looked like it was made of wood, everything back then had wood grain. In the original haunted House you ran around as a set of eyes with a light, they pull off the update nicely. To check out the old game with all its classy Atari EXPLOSION sound effects because haunted houses are hardcore check out this link:

Atari Haunted House (Remastered) - A great concept, to some, a poor execution.
I am not sure how I honestly feel about that. My love of all things classic, tells me that I should give this one a pass, however, my serious gaming side (as small as it may be), tells me be honest.
What I have played of this game it is fun, once you get use to it, the fun novelty of it shines through, and what a great addition to anyone's library for the sake of Halloween and whatnot, honestly, I kind of like the feel of it, and like the updated graphics to the original Atari 2600 game I use to play as a kid makes me feel nostalgic, so yeah, I am sorry for anyone that expects a harsh review, but I just can't bring myself to do it, its a fun game to me, I recommend this one, its well worth the play, but definitely get it on sale if you still can!

When the original came out, the creators took what limited technology that had and created a genuinely creepy, highly memorable game. I recently revisited this game and I was pleased to see that the original game has held up nicely throughout the years. To me it was one of the best classic Atari games ever released.
So how did the reboot hold up? Ehh, so-so; While this game wasn't terrible, it wasn't necessarily good either. It just seems that they could have done more with it.
Wait until this goes on sale for $2.99 and get it then.

Good game, kinda wonky controls. I love the art and story-direction, but sometimes the controls could be smoother and more responsive.

This game is a time waster update of an OLD simplistic Atari Game.
If you like that, buy it, if not, don't.
I like it, I saw it on sale, I bought it for a song, and I got my money's worth.

Heyyo,
Hehe, another silly little indie game that's decent enough to pass time.. you run around in a haunted house and try to not get caught by monsters as you try to solve the mystery of the haunted house. You don't get regular attacks-per-se... just stuff you can sometimes do with a torch or what-not. It's a fun little time killer. I never delved far into the game though since at the time I was playing the Ghostbusters game which is a more badass game about ghosts... but still, I'll recommend this game for the fact that it's cheap and decently challenging.
