Hauntsville

Hauntsville is a western horror survival game set in a remote mountain village during the American West’s westward expansion. You play as a nameless traveler stranded in a ghost town: the people, hired hand and horses are gone, and creatures from North American folklore prowl the valley. With only the clothes on your back and, optionally, up to three other players, you must find a way to survive.

Survive in the valley

Work the land to make it through the night. Cut trees with an axe to build a homestead, mine iron and smith it into tools, and hunt animals for food. You can also search the haunted town for supplies or try to get by on what you find in the wild, with your iron as protection from the monsters.

Day and night

The valley is relatively safe to explore in daylight, but the danger changes after nightfall, when beasts lurk around every corner. Surviving from dusk until dawn is uncertain. Weather can also shift while you are out: clear skies may give way to rain that traps you in mud, while higher ground can bring blizzards or a sudden onset of night that exposes you to lurking creatures.

Changing dangers

Dynamic systems make each game different. Places that were safe may become monsters’ nests, and a claim you staked may be buried under mud or snow when you return. Even a quick trip for firewood can turn into a fight for survival.

Play with others

You can play alone or with up to three other players, for a group of four. The game’s western setting includes Colts and Winchesters, period-accurate architecture and clothing, and creatures drawn from folklore of the American West and beyond.
