(Game Jam) Haunted Souls - Multiplayer Horror Game
A downloadable horror for Windows
Haunted Souls - Online Multiplayer Horror Game Prototype
This is a 1v5 multiplayer horror game where on side is the creature, where the main objective is to eliminate the other players, and the other side is the survivors, where must work together to escape.
There are items and codes where player must find around the house.
Idea
Main idea was to create a game where the survivors were the invaders and the ghost had to scare them out of the house. This was inspired by a Sega Genesis game called The Haunting.
I was going to mix The Haunting with mission objectives like Among Us and house exploration like Phasmophobia.
But due to the limited time, and learning multiplayer, I had to change to a super simplification of the idea.

hoajah
Its realy good but its kinda laggy.
Can anyone tell how to access options because it's grayed out and I'm clicking on it and nothing is happening
Hey bloopy, unfortunately there is no options, I couldn't finish it in time for the last game jam day.
oh its okay np but game is really cool
Can u tell the requirements for it to work pls.
Thank you.
hey i really like this game but i cant find anyone to play it with anymore, maybe consider creating a discord?

hey my friend tries to play but it's super laggy for him, literally like 5 fps and he has a good pc and his brother has the same pc and it works fine for him, how can we fix this? please help fast!!!!!
probably something to do with a component error its not the game creators fault if it doesnt work well for someone but their brother with the same pc it works fine for, take it up with the company that made the pc, or the company that made the components for it.
Yes, hahahaha.. actually, if you check the game jam details, it was about that specific house. Everyone had to use it.
quick question! does this mean that if I play with my friends, I can play as the ghost?
Yes, it is random on who the ghost is.
It works like in the Single Player, but you have to kill the survivors before they escape.
Does it have an AI to the ghost? Like, can i and a friend of mine play against the Creature?
No, I did started a base AI for the ghost, but I never finished it.
This was a project for a game jam, so unfortunately I had to cut a few features out.
not supported please add the 32 bit verison download
Hey hey, I will see if I can make a 32 bit build for it. This was a game jam game, so I didn't went too deep into windows version and optimizations.
Did you try running the current version?
yes but did not support
if it is not supported for 32 bit please add that
so that 32 bit and 64 bits can also play
lemme just download
thanks for these screenshots to make me intrested
looks scary but dont let childrens under 8 age
as i am 8 year can i download this game
Multiplayer is not working it becomes red and doesnt want to work pls help
Hey hey,
did you try restarting the game?
Check if the windows firewall might be blocking it.
I will check what might be causing it for you.
Thank you for the feedback
sry but i do not think its the firewall ive checked and this problem happened to me and 4 other of my friends we could only play solo while multiplayer was in red font and unclickable
Hey man, thank you so much. That is why feedback is so important. It was working on my local computer, so I never saw that problem. That explain some traffic information I was having on the servers.
There is a new version released, let me know if it fixes the problem for you now.
Decided to try it out. Really cool concept and looks great. I absolutely think you should continue this project :)
Hi, thank you so much. I will keep working on it.
:)
I want to try it with my friends, can you explain how we can play it?
Hey hey, you have to click multiplayer and after that, quick match. If you get stuck on Connecting, you will have to restart the game, it is a bug I will fix in the future.
If you don't connect to your friends room, get back to the Multiplayer window, and press quickmatch again.
If you and your friend press quickmatch at the same time, both creates a separated room.
To the end of the game jam delivery time I just had time to create quickmatch system. Your friends just have to do the same. 4-5 people can join the game ( I actually don't remember, I set up that on the players limit a month ago, at the beginning of the project)
Surprise, surprise!!!
What a game! This might be the most amazing multiplayer game with the use of this asset since Phasmaphobia and I am not saying less. You should be proud. Work on this game more and you might have a huge success. Good!
Thank you so much.
This is a great feedback. I am glad that you liked it. :)
If people really enjoy it I will definitely get back to it and make a full game. I had lots of ideas and game modes, skills to add, mission objectives, and balance the game better.
But your message was very motivating. Thank you.
