How it feels

Building and running a spooky tourist attraction feels like a light, playful mix of resource management and simple defensive planning.

What players say

Players praise the charming ghost characters and story, but note the crying customer mechanic and manager idle penalty add unique strategic tension. Difficulty is adjustable and the playtime is short, though some find the crying sound grating and controller support is not optional.
