About the game
Enter Ashwood House as an investigator searching for evidence—or as the ghost turning the house against them. Gather your tools, track the entity, prepare the ward, and attempt a banishment before the haunting overwhelms your team. Play either role solo with AI, or gather 2–5 players for an asymmetric multiplayer contract: one ghost and up to four investigators. Version 0.18 adds colder house lighting, drifting mist, room reverberation, interactive candles, crouching, embodied voice profiles, and a shared fuse-repair system. Hauntfall is a working title, and this is a free development playtest.
- Investigate two floors of Ashwood House, or control the haunting as the ghost.
- Play solo with AI or join 2–5 player Steam friends or direct-IP sessions.
- Gather evidence with investigation tools and coordinate a banishment.
- Use ghost abilities, possession, staged scares, and hunts to disrupt the investigation.
- Explore the 0.18 atmosphere update with interactive candles, fuse repairs, crouching, and embodied voices.

CPU, GPU and RAM tiers are provisional hardware targets, not benchmark-certified minimums or frame-rate guarantees. OS and architecture compatibility reflect the shipped packages and Unity 6.6 player requirements. Lower-end hardware, Windows, Linux and Intel Mac runtime validation remains outstanding. Extract the complete archive; Unity is not required. This is a development playtest. Steam must be running for Steam friends lobbies; the test App ID is 480, so Steam may display Spacewar. Direct-IP games require a reachable host or private VPN.
