What is Deck of Haunts?
A single-player, turn-based deckbuilding strategy game where you control a haunted house as visitors threaten its Heart room. By day, you arrange rooms to slow them down; by night, you play cards to summon spirits, shift hallways, and frighten or kill intruders. You use their essence to expand the house and unlock new rooms.
For you if...
- +you like defending a base with cards and room placement
- +you enjoy playing the threat in a horror setting
- +you prefer turn-based planning to fast action
Not for you if...
- −you want to explore a haunted house, not control one
- −you prefer direct combat over card-based attacks
What players say
86% of 1,439 reviews are positive · 75% of 32 in the last 30 days
Players praise the haunted-house premise, atmosphere, and card combinations. Many say effective layouts become narrow corridors and that limited variety makes later runs repetitive. Some also find selecting intruders through the interface cumbersome.
