If you think carnivals are all fun and games, just wait until you step into the eerie world of The Haunted Carnival, an escape room-style puzzler now available on Android. Imagine being locked in a sinister carnival, with your only goal being to escape. Sounds thrilling, right? This game challenges you to navigate through a fully rendered, atmospheric carnival, complete with the conventions of a point-and-click adventure.
The carnival isn't just one seamless environment; it's divided into five distinct rooms, each packed with five unique puzzles that stand between you and your freedom. The Haunted Carnival isn't just about solving puzzles; it's about immersing yourself in a spooky atmosphere that might make you think twice about clowns.
Admit one Initially, I was a bit skeptical upon noticing some AI art in the game's icon. However, my doubts were quickly dispelled by the pleasant surprise of the actual gameplay, which features beautifully crafted low-poly environments that truly enhance the eerie carnival vibe.
While I haven't delved into the puzzles myself, if they're as well-designed as the environments, The Haunted Carnival is definitely worth checking out.
