The Haunting

About

The Haunting casts you as a lone explorer armed with nothing but a camera to combat spectral threats. You navigate a large, eerie environment, snapping photos to weaken and banish ghosts while piecing together the history behind their lingering presence. The game emphasizes careful observation and timing, as each shot must land precisely to disrupt the supernatural entities. Exploration is key, with hidden clues scattered throughout the world to figure out deeper stories. BLUE BOX Game Studios released this single-player horror title in July 2020 for PC. While the open world approach feels less polished compared to genre staples, the camera combat mechanic offers a fresh twist on first-person survival horror. Players appreciate the atmospheric tension and the challenge of balancing resource management with quick reflexes. The game's modest reception highlights its ambitious concept, though some note pacing issues in later stages.
