The Haunted Carnival is a spooky new escape room-style puzzler, out now on Android

Get ready for a chilling escape! The Haunted Carnival, a new escape room-style puzzler, is now available on Android. Prepare to explore—and hopefully escape—a truly eerie carnival.

Your path to freedom is blocked by five distinct rooms, each presenting five unique puzzles. It's a testament to how easily a fun day at the carnival can turn terrifying; all it takes is dimmed lights and a few murderous clowns, right? Let The Haunted Carnival prove (or disprove) that theory.

This escape room puzzler drops you into the heart of the carnival with one goal: escape. Obstacles abound, but unlike many point-and-click adventures, you'll enjoy exploring the fully rendered carnival at your own pace. The carnival isn't one continuous space; instead, it's divided into five distinct rooms, each filled with five challenging puzzles.

Expect a blend of intrigue and spookiness. If clowns aren't your thing, you might want to skip this one.

Initially, the use of AI art in The Haunted Carnival's icon raised some eyebrows. However, the actual in-game environments pleasantly surprised with their crisp, appealing low-poly style.

While a full gameplay review isn't yet possible, the quality of the environment design suggests the puzzles will be equally engaging. This one's definitely worth checking out.
