Haunted (A Slip Story) is a branching narrative game about decorating for Halloween. You build all your decorations by hand and want this year to be special. The local farm had some choice pumpkins, so you want to feature them front and center in your design. From there, you decide how to interact with the props and the design process. Haunted explores three yard haunts with three very different implications for what is to come. Think of it like an interactive weird fiction collection. When you finish one story, you'll have the opportunity to turn back time and choose one of the others yard haunts to explore. The order you choose impacts how the stories connect, so choose wisely.
Here is the official announcement video for Haunted: A Slip Story. I'm Robert J Gannon, the creator of the game and owner of Sketching Details.
Welcome to Haunted, an interactive weird fiction collection where the order you choose to explore the stories impacts how they are told. You're building a yard haunt for Halloween and have a choice of three styles of pumpkin to center the design on. Each one takes you on a different journey through horror, Gothic, sci-fi, and dark fantasy.
The game comes out on 25 October 2021 through itch.io. The soundtrack and a companion short story collection adapted from the game will also be available.
