Humble Haunted House
Humble Haunted House – out now on Xbox

Humble Haunted House has creaked open its doors on Xbox Series X|S, inviting players into a twisted theme park attraction where screams are part of the business plan.

Available now for £12.49, this quirky new launch flips the tower defense formula on its head, casting you not as the hero, but as the monster hiding in plain sight.

Blending action, strategy and dark humour, Humble Haunted House tasks you with running a supposedly harmless haunted attraction – while secretly unleashing very real terror on unsuspecting visitors.

Welcome To The Attraction – Try Not To Panic

By day, you’re the manager of a humble haunted house in a bustling theme park. By night, you’re a Succubus in disguise, orchestrating scares with sinister intent. Guests queue up expecting cheap thrills and jump scares, blissfully unaware that genuine monsters lurk just beyond the props.

Your goal is simple: scare visitors senseless before they make it through the attraction. How you do that is where the fun begins.

Tower Defense With A Sinister Twist

Humble Haunted House blends traditional tower defense mechanics with hands-on action. You’ll strategically place creepy props throughout your attraction, each designed to frighten guests in different ways. Timing, placement and escalation are key, as crowds grow braver the longer they survive.

But you’re not limited to traps alone. You can jump into the action yourself, popping out as a live actor to deliver perfectly timed scares that send visitors running for the exit.

While guests think they’re enjoying a harmless attraction, the truth is far darker. As waves of visitors push through your haunted house, the illusion must be maintained, even as genuine monsters reveal themselves through increasingly chaotic encounters.

Balancing spectacle with strategy is essential – scare too little and guests leave unimpressed, scare too much and things may spiral out of control.

Now available on Xbox Series X|S through the Xbox Store, this haunted attraction proves that sometimes the best thrills come from being the thing that goes bump in the night.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

It wasn’t tested at all before release, you can’t even move/rotate items to place them.
This is a junk/scam/slop release. Achievements/Trophies are all AI-generated (badly), the game just straight up barely works.

This is my first time falling for one of these garbage games, the trailer made it look like it could be an interesting indie title… shame on the platforms for allowing stuff like this to be published
