Haunted Heist is a competitive two-player party game built for local multiplayer. In this stealth-based pixel-art style game, one of you will take control of a sly thief, as they sneak into a giant mansion to steal its valuables. The other will play as an invisible ghost, searching through every corner of the mansion to catch the thief before they can escape. Can you outrun the ghost while uncovering the mansion’s secrets and hidden items, using only your trusty flashlight and night-vision goggles, or will you outsmart the thief as you merge through walls and use your special ghost vision to hunt them down? Exciting cat-and-mouse gameplay awaits in this hair-raising 2D title developed for the Nintendo Switch!

You are the bell diver, a crew member aboard one of the company’s most advanced ships, The Trident. Your task is to pilot a diving bell into deep waters by interacting with a physical booth flush with levers, valves, and gauges. Several unique systems maintain the vessel, and must remain functional in order for the expedition to be successful. It is up to the skills and choices of the player to balance power, use resources economically, and stave off the overwhelming dangers of the depths and its denizens to get home safe.
