Ever wondered what happens when you dim the lights and add a dash of murderous clowns to a carnival? The result might be less of a fun day out and more of a thrilling escape challenge, as demonstrated by The Haunted Carnival, a new escape room-style puzzler available now on Android. This game invites you to explore—and hopefully escape from—the titular eerie carnival, presenting a unique blend of fun and fright.
In The Haunted Carnival, your sole mission is to find your way out. As you navigate through the game, you'll encounter a series of obstacles spread across five distinct rooms, each packed with five puzzles. This setup ensures a challenging yet engaging experience, reminiscent of classic point-and-click adventures but with the freedom to explore a fully rendered carnival environment at your own pace.
While the idea of clowns might send shivers down your spine, The Haunted Carnival promises not only intriguing puzzles but also a hefty dose of spookiness to keep you on your toes. If coulrophobia is a concern, you might want to approach this game with caution.
Admit oneInitially, I was skeptical upon noticing the use of AI-generated art in the game's icon. However, my doubts were quickly dispelled upon seeing the actual gameplay, which features charming low-poly environments that are both visually appealing and immersive.
Although I haven't delved into the puzzles myself, if they are as well-crafted as the game's environments, The Haunted Carnival is certainly worth exploring.
