Hey everyone,

After the overwelming positive response I received last time, I'd love to share the latest gameplay of the Haunted House Management Sim I'm building.

It's a cozy-creepy management sim where you design and operate your own haunted house dark ride. Instead of a regular god-mode view, you sit behind an industrial operator dashboard and personally manage the whole attraction. It has a detailed pixel-art style and a cuty & spooky atmosphere.

I'm currently working very hard to get a demo ready for Halloween season. If you like, you can find more info and screenshots on the Steam page:

No Generative AI was used for the art, animations, code or assets. All (pixel) art and mechanics are created by either me, or the great artists I've been working with on this adventure.

If there are any questions or ideas, feel free to hit me up! I'll be super happy to discuss in the comments.

Im realizing these take a good bit of context but i did take it and the first explanation that comes to mind isn't what it is..
- The blurriness is part of the issue taking note the first pic is only blurry on the person

- There were three people that should've shown walking w him and don't show in two pics and do in one where they're still all blurry

- these are the only blurry pics in my camera roll on my phone

- taken two different days and these people never showed up in the pics as more than the very blurry images

- 100% not a Halloween or any type mask or prosthetic head

- the heas was not visible to me irl

- the first pic the person is walking toward the left of the screen but the head is facing the right

- I literally haven't done social media in years and came back to try n discuss this with someone who is willing to talk w me bc it's kinda freaking me out

- i took the pics in oct and noticed the very strange blurry issue and only randomly noticed the head and face area (on second pics) last week and then a couple days ago i noticed the one was taken on Halloween

- Halloween only adds to my unease bc i know they were not in costume

love and light to you all

The thing is in the window it looks like a face watching you. I believe it's a possession or attachment on my mother who caught the picture on May 12 around 7 pm.

Please let me know if anyone sees anything strange in this Polaroid picture I took.

On this day I got a haircut my friend asked me to send a picture to see what I had gotten done. When he asked me what was in the background I never have been more terrified

The Whaley House; in San Diego, California; was built on top of the site of the town’s old gallows. It is said to be haunted by many ghosts; and multiple deaths occurred in the house after it was built. One of the most tragic was the suicide of Violet Whaley; Thomas and Anna Whaley’s daughter. She had recently found out that the man she married was a conman, simply hoping to gain some of the Whaleys’ fortune by wedding her. Depressed, Violet shot herself in the chest with her father’s rifle inside of their outhouse. At only 22 years old; she died after her parents heard the gun discharge, found her, and carried her into the parlor; where she would suffer approximately 20 agonizing minutes, before finally passing away. Her suicide note was a quote from a Thomas Hood poem: “Mad from life's history, swift to death's mystery; glad to be hurled, anywhere, anywhere, out of this world.”
Here is footage of me seemingly speaking to her spirit; it was my first time using dousing rods, so I can’t guarantee it wasn’t me accidentally crossing them (of course I tried to avoid doing so); but the motion-activated music box was going wild as well, while nobody was crossing the sensor. Please pardon my voice being so annoying, and my father talking while taking the video! Thoughts?
