An asymmetrical cooperative horror game set in a cursed Victorian dollhouse? Sounds creepy; count us in! In Poltergeist, one player (the Director) is locked inside a dollhouse and must guide you through it – each run is different as the puzzles change and you encounter new problems – while up to three Explorer players are locked inside a full-sized Woodcutter Manor complete with dollhouses. To survive, developer Corwin said, “Both sides must communicate, solve intricate puzzles, escape malevolent entities, and uncover the tragic story of the Woodman family.”
“Poltergeist brings the tension of communication under pressure into the realm of horror,” said Céline Tricart, game director at developer Coven. “This is a game about teamwork, fear, and the unsettling bond between onlookers and those trapped.”
“Haunted” is scheduled to launch in early access on PC in October 2026, with console and VR support to follow. wish list If you are interested, you can check it out on Steam.
