    Sneak Around And Find Out. Haunted House Is Available Now!

    {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44311597/7a0f6527552805a09a48dd80678b6f956359ac90.png A reimagining of the classic Atari adventure! Players take control of Lyn Graves, the precocious niece of legendary treasure hunter Zachary Graves. Lyn visits her uncle’s mansion with her closest compatriots, only to find the house overrun with ghouls and monsters who quickly grab and spirit away her friends. In order to free her uncle and her friends, and capture all the supernatural foes, Lyn must find the shattered pieces of a magical urn and put them back together. Through procedurally generated room layouts, shifting walls, unpredictable enemy placements, and unique ghostly encounters, Lyn must creep, sneak, and dash her way through hordes of ghouls and eerie ectoplasms in order to locate her friends and uncle. Each urn shard is fiercely guarded by a bone-chilling boss — with 3D isometric stealth gameplay, Lyn must think on her feet to conquer each challenge. When she gets knocked out by a shadowy specter, she winds up back at the Haunted House’s entrance and must face an entirely new floor layout and enemy placement, ensuring each run is unique. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1942330/Haunted_House Learn more about Haunted House: https://link.atari.com/play-hauntedhouse Join the conversation on Discord: https://link.atari.com/discord Follow Atari Twitter: https://twitter.com/atari Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/atari Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atari/

    Hola, Salut, and こんにちは, dear players! Today we have yet another patch note for you all. This one is a short but highly anticipated one... yes, I'm talking about languages, baby! It has been a month since the game was released, and since day one people have been asking about localization in their own languages. We know how important this is for the game to be experienced in the best way possible, so we had a team aimed at delivering this as soon as possible, and here we are at last! So, what languages exactly do we have with the v1.1.0.377 update? Brazilian Portuguese German French Mexican Spanish Korean Simplified Chinese Japanese
