About the Game

One booth. One haunted ride. Every scream in your hands. Operate the entire attraction from a dark control room, moving guests through the lobby, pre-shows, carts, and scares while managing power, queues, cash, and Prestige. Miss the timing and the whole operation starts to jam.

Place props, lighting, and animatronics to raise the ride's Scare potential, then improve the queue, pre-shows, and station to deepen Immersion. Stronger scares create better payouts at the exit and more money to invest in the mansion. 

Use cash to keep the doors open and Prestige to rebuild the decrepit mansion room by room. Improve vehicles, expand power capacity, and automate doors, loading, and dispatch so the operation can survive its busiest nights. 

Each shift brings new pressure, failures, events, and scoring conditions. Prepare before opening, react when the systems fight back, and keep the attraction alive as Halloween pushes the crowd, power grid, and control booth to their limits.
