Microsoft has picked up spooky indie adventure game Hauntii as a day-one Xbox Game Pass title.
Publisher Firestoke and developer Moonloop Games announced Hauntii is coming to Game Pass though didn’t offer any details as to when that might happen, as the game only has a second quarter of 2024 release window on Steam and its marketing otherwise lists a vague 2024.
“Hauntii is a beguiling adventure built around a creative haunting mechanic that lets you possess the environment and the creatures that inhabit it,” its official synopsis reads. “Once you’ve taken control, you can take on enemies using the special abilities of Hauntii’s denizens and come up with ingenious solutions to overcome the many challenges littered across the game’s enchanting world.
“You will be possessed by a captivating blend of exploration, puzzle solving and twin-stick shooting, all set in a stunning hand-crafted world filled with charming characters, and underpinned with a ghostly mystery that will see you diving deep into your past.”
Those interested in the idea can download a demo on Steam until February 12, but will otherwise have to wait until it comes to PC and Xbox later this year. A Nintendo Switch and PlayStation version has also been announced.
Microsoft recently announced its Xbox Game Pass additions for February 2024, which are headlined by Madden NFL 24 and Resident Evil 3.
