About
Haunting Hijinx is a spiritual successor to a classic minigame where one player is a ghost and up to four players are ghost hunters.

Concealed by shadow, you will seek to outwit the ghost hunters and make them faint. A single touch is all it takes, but beware their searing lights! You must be clever if you are to catch the fiends off guard.
Your goal is to make all the hunters faint by grabbing them.
You are invisible by default.
Sprint to gain a helpful speed boost at the expense of being visible.
Charge your summon meter to summon a drain area under each hunter. Any hunter that doesn't quickly get away will be defenseless as their battery gets drained.
The hunters' flashlight beams will briefly stun you, make you visible, and deal significant damage.

Each armed with a flashlight, you and your friends will delve into the darkness to hunt down the ghost. Even though you can't see the ghost in the dark, you can sense when it draws near. Stay together; you will not survive alone for long.
Your goal is to kill the ghost by shining your flashlight on it.
Your flashlight has limited battery life. You will need to pick up new batteries over time to keep the ghost at bay.
You will be alerted when the ghost is nearby, though you should be wary of tricks it may play to keep you on edge.
Teamwork is essential. The ghost can easily outmaneuver a lone hunter but will struggle against a coordinated group.
You will faint if the ghost touches you.
Shine your flashlight on a downed hunter for a few moments to revive them. In the meantime, take care that you aren't vulnerable to being grabbed yourself!

Nintendo knock off (specifically the Nintendo Land "Luigi's Mansion" Minigame) but hell yeah baby. Anywho, the movement is a little static, the house feels empty, but besides that it is almost the exact same as what I remember the original being. Might play the real game w/ my friends in person though, so yeah. I appreciate this for my friends who don't own the game. Good work fr. P.S. I'd change up the map to avoid copyright issues if this game does get any bigger (rare on steam but Nintendo really does not care), but like genuinely I'm glad you made this free. Just mix it up a little and I think you'll be fine.

i sprayed my ectoplasm everywhere
Game of the year material, I pissed my pants playing this game D:
Good game! Played with my adult siblings, and we all had a fun time. There are several mechanics I like, and I feel like both sides are balanced in their strengths and trade-offs. Definitely a well thought out game without being too complex. It's something I could play with anyone, and we could be having fun within five minutes. Couple things that would be helpful: I couldn't find instructions on the controls, and I didn't understand what the ghost jinx was doing until someone told me. Basically just a documentation fix. Also, it would be nice to be able to play fully on keyboard. I like the mouse pointing mechanic, but my mouse started having issues (maybe it was just my mouse), and I would have liked to point the flashlight with the arrows while moving with WASD. Totally not a dealbreaker, just an option that I would have liked. Anyway, like I said, this was a fun game and easy to get in to. I was surprised how fast 90min flew by!
As someone who's only "Slightly" Biased, (Lead Character Animator) This is a really fun game and a blast with friends. It's been an honor working on it and while it's still a little rough around the edges, I'm excited to continue to work on future updates and play said updates when they get finished(I could play this game for a LONG time already). There are some fun ideas in store and I really hope to see them come to fruition so stick around!
Definitely a fun game with friends! Gameplay and mechanics are pretty straightforward, but there is surprisingly high replay value. It's fun to try out different tactics as the ghost or a ghost hunter. Balance is quite good with 4-5 players, but the ghost has a clear advantage in a 1v1. I really like the art style, animations, and music: not too complex/busy and very eye-pleasing. It's especially cool to see how the flashlight beam reflects off certain surfaces and is blocked by the walls. Well done!
This game is a good time! Definitely a lot of fun with friends, and was especially fun to play during development. I highly recommend to any group of friends who want a quick multiplayer game to play. Rounds are less than 5 minutes so several games can be played in a short span of time. Easy controls, easy rules, and several hours of fun!
Really nice to play with friends
