Kickstarter for Ghost-Hunting Sim ‘Haunted House Renovator’ on Now [Trailer]

Published

on

Ever wanted to become a paranormal renovator, clearing out haunted mansions to restore them to their former glory? Image Power is looking to give you that opportunity with Haunted House Renovator. The team recently announced a Kickstarter to help get the necessary funds to “make the best game possible” for not only PC via Steam, but also consoles.

Touted as being both a relaxing and spooky, Haunted House Renovator has you as a ghost-hunting renovator, whose job it is to exorcise ghosts and other monsters from mansions, then restore said mansions to a livable state. It’s not as easy as it sounds, as applying new wallpaper won’t be enough to convince your customers that a house is safe. There’s also the issue of dealing with whatever is haunting the mansion.

You’ll deal not only with ghosts and monsters, but also curses and possessions, with each locale having their own unique challenges and mysteries. Once whatever is haunting the mansion has been booted, you’ve got to deal with cleanup. Using your creativity, you must decorate the mansion to make it inviting and liveable.

As mentioned, the Kickstarter is on now, with the minimal goal of the campaign is $10,000 CAD by April 5th. The new trailer for Haunted House Renovator offers a glimpse into some of the core mechanics of the game. Backers will also have access to a preview of the game’s demo, ahead of its public release. Because the game and the demo are still being worked on, Kickstarter supports will have a chance to influence the development with their feedback.

With the help of Kickstarter users, Image Power intends to prepare console versions of Haunted House Renovator, and in case the next stretch goals are met, add a new type of ghost, create a unique soundtrack for each location, and expand the in-game content for PC and console players alike. Backers will also have an opportunity to enrich the game with their own ideas, for instance by commissioning their painting that will be added to the game.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
