The Haunted Carnival is a spooky new escape room-style puzzler, out now on Android

Get ready for a chilling escape! The Haunted Carnival, a new escape room-style puzzler, is now available on Android. Prepare to explore—and hopefully escape—a truly eerie carnival.

Your path to freedom is blocked by five distinct rooms, each presenting five unique puzzles. It's a testament to how easily a fun day can turn terrifying; all it takes is dimmed lights and a few murderous clowns. Think you can handle it? The Haunted Carnival will test your mettle.

This escape room puzzler plunges you into the heart of a sinister carnival with one goal: escape. Obstacles abound, but unlike many point-and-click adventures, you can freely explore the fully rendered carnival environment. However, this isn't one continuous space. The Haunted Carnival is divided into five distinct rooms, each with its own set of five puzzles.

Expect intrigue and a healthy dose of spookiness. If clowns trigger your fear response, you might want to skip this one.

Initially, I was hesitant upon seeing the AI-generated art in The Haunted Carnival's icon. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the game's actual visuals: crisp, appealing low-poly environments.

While I can't yet offer a full gameplay review, if the puzzles are as well-designed as the environments, The Haunted Carnival is definitely worth checking out.
