The Haunted Carnival is a spooky new escape room-style puzzler, out now on Android

Get ready for a chilling escape! The Haunted Carnival, a new escape room-style puzzler, is now available on Android. Prepare to explore—and hopefully escape—a truly eerie carnival.

Your path to freedom is blocked by five distinct rooms, each containing five challenging puzzles. It's a testament to how easily a fun day can turn terrifying; all it takes is dimmed lights and a few murderous clowns to transform a cheerful carnival into a nightmare. Doubt me? Let The Haunted Carnival change your mind.

This escape room puzzler plunges you into the heart of the carnival with one goal: escape. Obstacles abound, but unlike many point-and-click adventures, you can freely explore the fully rendered carnival environment. However, it’s not a single continuous space. The Haunted Carnival is divided into five distinct rooms, each presenting five unique puzzles. Expect a blend of intriguing puzzles and spooky atmosphere—clown-phobes might want to proceed with caution!

Initially, I was somewhat hesitant upon seeing the AI-generated art in the game's icon. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the actual in-game visuals. The low-poly environments are surprisingly well-crafted and visually appealing.

While I can't yet offer a full gameplay review, if the puzzle design matches the quality of the environment art, The Haunted Carnival is definitely worth checking out.
