Survive in a haunted house after a robbery gone wrong.

You play as a thief that was expecting an easy job. Break in, find one valuable item, get out. Unfortunately, you find that your target house has more in store for you than you could ever have imagined.

A voice from a radio tells you that you need to steal three artifacts from the ghostly inhabitants of the house if you want any chance of getting out with your life.

Features:

- Hand drawn paper/sketchy style graphics

- Navigate a labyrinthine house with traditional first person dungeon crawler camera & controls

- Pick locks in a Sokoban-style mini game to obtain items

- Hide in wardrobes or under beds when being targeted by pursuers for a chance at getting away

- Manage resources as you travel through the house

- Fight ghosts in turn-based combat as a last resort

Controls:

- WASD: Move

- QE: Turn

- Space/Enter: Interact, advance text, confirm selections

- Esc: Pause and Inventory menu

- Optional touch UI for more mouse functionality in the menus

NOTE: Clicking on the screen during exploration will cause an attempt at navigating your character to the tile that was clicked on. This is a feature of RPG Maker that I didn’t have time to rework and it is wonky at best, so I recommend using WASD to move rather than clicking on tiles.

This game is my submission to Dungeon Crawler Jam 2025.

I had to crunch extra hard on this one due to trying a new art style and ultimately ran out of time to polish. There are various minor gameplay and visual bugs, but hopefully there aren't any game breaking ones hiding in there. There are also some features and systems that are introduced but not exactly taken advantage of to their fullest potential. I hope to release some updates to this game to improve on some areas I didn't have time to during the jam period.

Known Bugs:

- A few soft locks for completing the game due to the final sequence requiring a few items that the player has possibly already used (and has looted all possible containers that could replenish these items). To finish, you’ll want to save one lockpick/ornate key for a locked hard chest that is located on a ritual circle in the east wing (where the restless ghosts are located). Make sure you keep one jar of oil, one tinderbox, and one spirit vapor as well for the game’s final sequence.

- Some equipment is unable to be equipped

- Some sprites (enemy and clutter) are incorrectly rendered but still visible.

- Some enemies have broken attack patterns and will let you destroy them without fighting back 

- Saving is enabled at any time even though it was intended to be available only in certain save rooms 

- The attic area is very dark due to a lighting bug 

- Visual/formatting issues in the battle screen

- Generally imbalanced difficulty (leans towards being too easy?)

- Low sanity consequences and random encounter buildup rate seem to have stopped working sometime between me testing and deploying the game

A patch for known issues will be released after the end of the jam rating period. Please document any bugs you find in the comments so I can address them in the next patch!
