Haunting is a two player game about a sentient House that wants to devour its Occupants. 

The players will tell the story of an Occupant's time in the House, how it begins to unravel, and how the House inevitably becomes vacant... until the next Occupant moves in. 

The House is waiting…

• Tell many stories - once an Occupant's fate is sealed, you'll move on to the next one, creating many characters throughout your time with the house
• Designed for duet - taking 1.5 - 2 hours (and easy to adjust) Haunting is perfect for when there's just 2 people and you're in the mood for something spooky
• Record your story - through journalling or sketching, you'll keep a record of how your house grows and changes over time
• An audio experience - between occupants the house rests to a bespoke spooky soundtrack
  

How will you play?

You'll create Occupants from prompts. 

As Occupants move in they will leave their mark through adding or changing rooms. But the House will push back, twisting these rooms in spooky ways. 

Player 1 (Occupant): the Gentlefolk add a ball room to host lavish parties. 

Player 2 (House): the guests complain of inexplicable voices

Player 1 (Occupant): the Gentlefolk blame old pipes and insist that the party continues

In turn, the House will haunt the Occupants.

Player 2 (House): every few days when the Author is in the library, the book shelves will start to shake, knocking books to the floor.

Player 1 (Occupant): the Author flees from the room

Player 2 (House): as they run, the bookshelves start to tip over like dominoes, and they only just make it out

Finally, together you decide this Occupant's fate, will they Fight, Flee or Fall to the House?

As you wait for a new Occupant you'll rest, with music on and your eyes shut, until the next Occupant moves in and you repeat the process until your story is complete.
