Ghost Haunting Demo Is Out Now, a Point and Click Love Letter to the LucasArts Classics
Point and click fans can step back into the 90s today, floppy disks not included.
Daedalic Entertainment and Three Headed Monkey Studios have released a free Steam demo for Ghost Haunting as part of the current Steam Point & Click Showcase. The 2D point-and-click adventure captures the spirit of the LucasArts classics with hand-crafted pixel art, dark humor and a heroine, Gigi, whose approach to problem-solving rarely leaves the furniture intact. The demo features English and German voice acting, and text localization in all 12 languages.
When Gigi discovers that her grumpy grandpa Giovanni is a legendary ghost hunter, she reaches a perfectly reasonable conclusion: if ghosts can visit the living, she can visit the dead and bring Grandma home. A talking pumpkin demon called Baron Butt(er)nut is willing to help. Getting Grandpa’s permission is not currently a priority.
The full adventure pairs classic puzzles with modern comforts like a hint system, a score system, hotspot highlighting and fast travel. The team at Three Headed Monkey Studios said: “The demo is meant to feel like rediscovering a long-forgotten adventure game from the 90s. Except without the floppy disks. Instead, it blends modern gameplay features with the core of classic point-and-click games: Talking to quirky characters, combining ridiculous items and that leap of joy when a puzzle (finally) clicks into place. We hope you have a great time! Gigi certainly will.”
The free demo will remain available after the showcase. Ghost Haunting launches in 2027 on PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch 1 and 2.
