Descriptions.

One-sentence pitch

Clear monsters out of cursed TV sets in a run-based top-down arcade horror shooter built for solo play and chaotic local 2-player co-op.

Short description

Haunted House Hellshift is a run-based top-down arcade horror shooter inspired by classics like Gauntlet, mixed with campy haunted-house horror, cursed TV productions, fake ghost shows, and over-the-top monster mayhem.

Long description

You have the worst job in television: step into haunted studio locations, survive the broadcast, and clear out the monsters before the set eats you alive.

Fight through trap-filled rooms, blast swarms of undead crew members, collect eyeballs, unlock cursed doors, and make it to the exit before the house overwhelms you. Play solo or with a friend in local 2-player co-op.

Each run mixes top-down shooting, twin-stick aiming, grenades, dashes, upgrades, haunted rooms, enemy waves, and boss fights into a campy arcade-horror broadcast.
