Connection Haunted

About

Connection Haunted is a genre-jumping single-player game that mixes shooter mechanics with visual novel storytelling. You navigate a glitchy digital world filled with corrupted messages, network errors, and cryptic user logs. Gameplay alternates between rapid-fire combat and reading fragmented text that hints at a strange mystery. The story unfolds through broken chat logs and garbled server reports, creating a disjointed but eerie narrative. The game leans into its weird premise with distorted text and strange server messages that feel like part of the experience. While short and a bit rough around the edges, it earned a 6.8/10 on Metacritic for its bold concept. The 2020 release date means it's already been tested by players who appreciate its niche approach to storytelling. The Switch port lets you take the creepy chaos on the go.
