The Game at a Glance
What is Haunted Heist?
Haunted Heist is a round-based asymmetrical PvP horror party game developed and published by autotroph games for 3 to 8 players. Built in the Godot engine, the game pits a squad of human Heisters against supernatural Tricksters inside a procedurally generated luxury mansion where proximity voice chat drives match communication.
Each match lasts up to 10 minutes starting from the safe room. Heisters must locate scattered gems and safely haul them back to the deposit chest while managing limited ammunition and battery power, while Tricksters use stealth, night vision, disguises, and voice deception to ambush and eliminate the crew.

Toggle your flashlight off when possible to conserve battery power for reviving fallen teammates.
Use proximity voice chat to confirm teammate identities and prevent friendly fire against disguised Tricksters.
