About the Game

DreadHaunt—where every decision matters and survival depends on trust!

As a member of a covert containment agency comprising scientists, exorcists, and believers your mission is to locate and secure cursed items believed to fuel the island's paranormal activity. But the danger doesn’t just come from the supernatural; one of your team members may fall victim to possession, threatening your mission from within.

Set on a forsaken island off Jakarta’s northern coast, a place steeped in arcane energy and unsolved mysteries, you will face anomalous entities, cursed objects, and strange phenomena that modern science cannot explain. Using specially designed tools infused with ancient amulets, you’ll confront these exotic creatures and spiritual threats.

Explore the eerie island, customize your character, and choose how you’ll communicate and confront the dangers that await. Team up with fellow agents to survive, uncover the island’s secrets, and stop the evil forces at play.

Now available: Cross play with console players!
