If you enjoy the thrill of escape rooms and the eerie atmosphere of haunted attractions, then The Haunted Carnival might be just the game for you. Now available on Android, this puzzler locks you into a spine-chilling carnival with one clear goal: escape. But be warned, it won't be a walk in the park. You'll navigate through five distinct rooms, each packed with five unique puzzles designed to test your wits and nerve.
While carnivals are typically a place of joy and entertainment, The Haunted Carnival flips the script by dimming the lights and possibly throwing in a few menacing clowns to keep you on your toes. It's a far cry from a fun day out, turning the carnival into a labyrinth of mystery and fright. And if you thought point-and-click adventures were passé, think again. The Haunted Carnival offers a fully rendered carnival environment that you can explore at your own pace, much like the engaging world of Legacy Reawakening.
The game's aesthetic initially raised eyebrows due to the use of AI art in its icon. However, the actual gameplay features beautifully crafted low-poly environments that enhance the immersive experience. While I haven't personally delved into the puzzles, if they are as thoughtfully designed as the carnival itself, The Haunted Carnival is definitely worth your time.
