Released on Steam back in May 2025, DANGEN Entertainment and developer Mantis Games have announced that their roguelike deckbuilder Deck of Haunts will be coming to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch on October 8. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer.
In the game, players take on the unusual role of a haunted house. As the master of this cursed domain, your goal is to ensnare daring humans, play on their fears, and drain their very essence to expand your dark influence.
By day, you’ll meticulously design the mansion’s labyrinthine layout, transforming it into a death trap that no human can escape. As night falls, lure unwitting explorers into your home, where you’ll use a deck of terrifying cards to summon spirits, shift hallways, and unleash horrors upon your guests. Build tension and drive these unfortunate souls toward madness, all while protecting your Heart room, which is the core of your power.
Once their sanity crumbles, you’ll harvest their essence to strengthen your mansion, increasing your infamy and attracting even more daring foes, from law enforcement to priests. However, you’ll need to beware, as the Stone Masons are coming, ready to challenge your reign of terror.
Strategically design your haunted house by placing rooms that serve to protect your Heart room, where your power is concentrated. Construct a maze filled with traps, scares, and unique twists, all tailored to frighten and confuse your visitors.
You’ll unlock and collect new cards as you progress. Expand your deck to include tools of terror like bone-chilling screams, phantoms, creaking floors, and shifting walls. Use your cards to scare or kill your victims, then extract their essence. Use their essence to unlock new rooms, expand your haunting powers, and attract more dangerous, and rewarding, targets.
