Daedalic Entertainment and Three Headed Monkey Studios have released a free Steam demo for Ghost Haunting as part of the current Steam Point & Click Showcase. The 2D point-and-click adventure captures the spirit of the LucasArts classics with hand-crafted pixel art, dark humor and young Gigi, whose approach to problem-solving rarely leaves the furniture intact. The demo features English and German voice acting, and text localization in all 12 languages.*
When Gigi discovers that her grumpy grandpa Giovanni is a legendary ghost hunter, she reaches a perfectly reasonable conclusion: if ghosts can visit the living, she can visit the dead and bring Grandma home. A talking pumpkin demon called Baron Butt(er)nut is willing to help. Getting Grandpa’s permission is not currently a priority.
The full adventure pairs its classic puzzles with modern features like a hint system, a score system, hotspot highlighting and fast travel. Three Headed Monkey Studios put its love of classic adventures in the company name. Daedalic Entertainment, whose adventure history includes the legendary Deponia series, Edna & Harvey, The Whispered World, Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth and many more, knows exactly what kind of company it’s keeping.
“The demo is meant to feel like rediscovering a long-forgotten adventure game from the 90s. Except without the floppy disks. Instead, it blends modern gameplay features with the core of classic point-and-click games: Talking to quirky characters, combining ridiculous items and that leap of joy when a puzzle (finally) clicks into place. We hope you have a great time! Gigi certainly will,” says the team at Three Headed Monkey Studios.
The free demo will remain available after the showcase. GHOST HAUNTING launches in 2027 on PC, Mac, Xbox, Playstation and Switch 1 & 2.
