If you're a fan of spine-tingling adventures and puzzling challenges, then The Haunted Carnival might just be the game for you. Now available on Android, this escape room-style puzzler drops you right into the heart of a chilling carnival, challenging you to navigate and escape its eerie confines. Imagine turning down the lights and adding a few murderous clowns to a carnival, and you'll get a sense of the thrilling, yet terrifying experience that awaits.
Your sole mission in The Haunted Carnival is to escape. But it's not going to be easy. The game breaks down the carnival into five distinct rooms, each packed with five unique puzzles that stand between you and freedom. This setup is reminiscent of other point-and-click adventures like Legacy Reawakening, yet offers the freedom to explore a fully rendered carnival at your own pace.
The game promises not just puzzles but a hefty dose of spookiness. If clowns send shivers down your spine, you might want to approach with caution. The carnival's atmosphere is designed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Initially, I was skeptical upon noticing the use of AI-generated art in the game's icon. However, my doubts were dispelled upon seeing the actual gameplay, featuring beautifully crafted low-poly environments that enhance the eerie yet captivating aesthetic of the carnival.
