Ever wondered what would happen if you turned down the lights at a carnival and added a few murderous clowns? The Haunted Carnival, a new escape room-style puzzler available on Android, might just give you a thrilling answer to that chilling question. The game places you right in the heart of a spooky carnival, challenging you to navigate and escape from its eerie confines.
The Haunted Carnival isn't just a stroll through a creepy fairground; it's a full-blown adventure divided into five distinct rooms, each packed with five puzzles that stand between you and freedom. Similar to the immersive experience of last week's topic, Legacy Reawakening, this game blends the charm of a point-and-click adventure with the freedom to explore a beautifully rendered carnival environment at your own pace.
While the carnival is not a seamless world, the division into themed rooms adds to the game's intrigue and spookiness. If clowns send shivers down your spine, you might want to approach The Haunted Carnival with caution, as it promises a healthy dose of eerie thrills.
**Admit one**
Initially, I was skeptical upon noticing the use of AI art in the game's icon. However, diving into The Haunted Carnival revealed a pleasant surprise: the gameplay features well-crafted, crunchy low-poly environments that are visually appealing and engaging. While I haven't delved into the puzzles themselves, if they match the quality of the environment design, this game is certainly worth exploring.
