Imagine being locked inside an eerie carnival, your only goal to escape. Sounds thrilling, right? But don't let the fun atmosphere fool you—things can get spooky fast, especially if you're not a fan of clowns.
In The Haunted Carnival, you're thrust into a fully rendered, yet haunting, carnival environment. Unlike a typical point-and-click adventure, you're free to explore at your own pace. However, escape won't be easy. The carnival is divided into five distinct rooms, each packed with five unique puzzles that stand between you and freedom. Expect not just a challenge, but also a hefty dose of spookiness as you navigate through this chilling adventure.

Initially, I had my doubts about The Haunted Carnival, especially upon noticing the use of AI-generated art in its icon. However, the actual gameplay pleasantly surprised me with its crisp, low-poly environments that add a unique charm to the game. While I haven't delved deep into the puzzles myself, the quality of the environment design gives me confidence that the puzzles are just as engaging and worth exploring.
