Haunted (beta)
Free GameAbout Haunted (beta)
The ancient forces of darkness and evil are rising, yet again to overcome our world and rule it for all the eternities. So far, the monsters and phantasms had been lurking in shadows and basements, but soon, the tide will overflow. You are one of the few who posess the knowledge and awareness, while the majority is still being kept in the dark. As an agent of the Society your task is to protect the general population from evil for as long as that is still possible, holding the monsters at bay while collecting evidence and intelligence, and solving the mysteries that veil the coming of the Elder Gods.
Welcome to Haunted, a massive multiplayer online lovecraftian ghostbusting game of horror!
Huge worldwide location base based on Google Places API.
Cooperative multiplayer combat.
Geolocation (GPS or network) powered.
Otherwise classic RPG :)
beta version (tested on Samsung Galaxy S1 and Note)
beta update:
Players now receive xp reward for combat assistance. Also, the latest assists log may be viewed with "Show assists" button.
Mystery cases, superbosses, haunt percentage and the number of agents present on a location are now displayed on the map.
The nearest mystery cases are now listed as AGENCY RADIO when in map mode. You may also click on them to zoom the map on the location.
The fog may now only be encountered in the deepest level of the dungeons that has been discovered so far on the location.
Skill checks and other kinds of random events are now tougher and more rewarding in lower levels of the location.
Ectotraps may be used to trap a (single) phantasm and handcuffs may be used to arrest a (single) mortal enemy. If more in a group, you may only attempt that after reducing the number to one. Arresting a mortal now renders you a written or recorded confession and 1 or 5 (rare) glory points. 5 glory points for trapping a phantasm, 15 for trapping a rare phantasm (actual numbers subject to change in the future). Trapped phantasms and confessions also gain more mystery points when analyzed.
Arresting/trapping is done in the following way. Use the ectotrap or handcuffs respectfully to trap a phantasm or arrest a ghost, while in combat. You may only attempt that when no more than one enemy is still standing. Also, using an ectotrap or the handcuffs will imediately eliminate them from your inventory. Until the end of that combat, your attack will be less efficient, but if you defeat the enemy, it will be trapped or arrested. However, the final value (in terms of mystery points upon analysis, or any other effect they may have) of the confession or the trapped phantasm will depend on how many health points it has left the moment when the trap/handcuffs are first used.
A powerful trapped phantasm or superboss remains may now gain you a permanent extra skill point instead of mystery points when analyzing them. The chance is slim but increases with more
Instead of mystery points reward, certain kinds of evidence (rings, daggers...) may turn out to be rare items upon analysis. This will also depend on relevant player skills, like investigation, occult or science.
"Analyze all" converts all your evidence into mystery points in a single analysis sweep. If any of the evidence turns out as some other kind of reward (item, skill point etc) the sweep analysis is halted at that point, so no more than one such event will be reported at the same time.
New kinds of mysteries, such as celestial, weather and paranormal sighting events.
More ways to combine mysteries, new kinds of combined cases (conspiracies, infestations...).
Superboss banishings, arresting rare mortal enemies and trapping rare phantasms are now reported in the news.

Excellent application of the Lovecraft mythos. Still good, but has development stopped? I recommend an ingress or pokemon go style real world game.

Great game only let down is having to constantly log in after every action for it to refresh the screen. Been in beta for a few years I'm guessing that it's been shelved as sinister systems has a few other games that look amazing. Link to the haunted forum doesn't work shame because I'm really curious about certain things in the game.

Graphics are a bit 1990's HTML, not that a good game needs great graphics. There is no pinc-zoom or mobile view that works. Says I am in Nova Scotia? Lol. Map is off to the right no matter screen orientation and cut off. Will look at this again, uninstall for now.

Doesn't detect my GPS location. The little popup 'travel' buttons don't work, so basically I'm unable to do much of anything. The idea is interesting but the game is unplayable. :(

It might be a good game but having to log back in EVERY SINGLE TIME after doing any action, gets old real quick. So quick I'm uninstalling after having to relog in after 5 actions

Nice game to kill time, wish the game would add some multiple choice questions with answers, and a little more variety of combat, such as dodge,attack, and I'm not sure if it has a chat room but that would be cool

When I press any option, nothing happens unless I quit and then sign in again, every single time. This makes the thing essentially unplayable, which is a shame because it looks excellent. Please sort it out!

I have seen my friend play this on his iPad and the game looks altogether pretty good. But at least with my phone (HTC Desire) I have been having difficulties doing pretty much everything. I cannot see an action confirmed without completely closing out of the app and entering again. Which makes progression pretty difficult. Also the location tracker doesn't seem to be working all that well either.if you fix these things I would greatly appreciate it.

Just needs the finishing touches. Can't wait for v1.0, at which point this gets 5 stars. #UPDATE# Is the game still running? Down to 1 star for no longer playable with no reason given on forums. Such a shame, as I really liked this game...

The game is great - Lovecraft themed and location based, with an interesting array of classes, items, and things to do. But the ui needs work, and the game needs polish. With it being in beta, these issues are understandable. With the lack of recent updates I'm not holding my breath. I hope the team picks back up on it, or at the very least someone takes up development.

I love the game, but having trouble getting a response email to activate my new account on the message board. I have questions about game play that I can't ask lol. Will rate higher when I can log on to the web page...

It's a fun game, much of which I have yet to touch. The problem I have is in a turnbased (so to speak) game, the action point are too slow. For a mobile game it maybe better with a 5 minute timer per point with a cap of say 60. That would add more frequent playability. Waiting an hour for 1 point means we play less.

Nice concept, good story , love the weapons upgrades. It only lacks new tougher ghost and monsters with more exp. points for the higher levels. But being a beta version I suspect we will see that in the future. Great job.

Possibly the best and most well thought out game on android atm .Stays true to the Cthulu mythos . The only downfall I can see is being in beta there's no faq or information or link to their forum in the game on what to do which I feel is driving players away

Nice concept, good story would give five stars except for the limited play time but I'm guessing in the future you plan on selling time bad idea imo. You should sell improved weapons instead and make the play time unlimited Good game regardless
