Spooky 'The Haunted Carnival' Escape Room Launches on Android

• The Haunted Carnival is an escape room-style puzzle game now available on Android.
• Explore (and hopefully escape from) the eerie carnival setting.
• Five distinct rooms, each with five unique puzzles, stand between you and freedom.

It's fascinating how quickly a carnival transforms from a fun day out into a nightmare just by dimming the lights and adding a murderous clown or two. If you're skeptical, getting locked inside The Haunted Carnival might just change your perspective.

This escape room-style puzzle game drops you into the ominous carnival with a single goal: get out. While you'll face numerous obstacles along the way, much like last week's topic Legacy Reawakening, you can freely explore the fully rendered carnival environment despite its point-and-click adventure conventions.

The carnival isn't one continuous space. Instead, The Haunted Carnival divides into five separate rooms, each containing five distinct puzzles. The game promises not only clever challenges but also a generous serving of spooky atmosphere. If clowns unsettle you, you might want to skip this one.

I'll admit I was initially skeptical when I noticed some AI-generated art in The Haunted Carnival's icon. However, I was pleasantly surprised (and slightly confused) to discover the actual gameplay features beautifully crisp low-poly environments that look quite impressive.

As for the gameplay mechanics themselves, I can't offer personal impressions yet. But if the puzzles match the quality of the environmental design, I'm confident this game is worth trying.
