SHORT DESCRIPTION
Haunted House Hellshift is a run-based top-down arcade horror shooter inspired by classics like Gauntlet, mixed with campy haunted-house horror, cursed TV productions, fake ghost shows, and over-the-top monster mayhem.

LONG DESCRIPTION
You have the worst job in television: step into haunted studio locations, survive the broadcast, and clear out the monsters before the set eats you alive.

Fight through trap-filled rooms, blast swarms of undead crew members, collect eyeballs, unlock cursed doors, and make it to the exit before the house overwhelms you. Play solo or with a friend in local 2-player co-op.

Each run mixes top-down shooting, twin-stick aiming, grenades, dashes, upgrades, haunted rooms, enemy waves, and boss fights into a campy arcade-horror broadcast.

FEATURES
- Fast top-down shooting with twin-stick aiming.
- Single-player and local 2-player co-op.
- Run-based levels with upgrade choices between them.
- Haunted rooms with traps, destructibles, pickups, locked doors, and enemy waves.
- Over-the-top monsters and dedicated boss rooms.
- Campy horror framed as a dangerous paranormal broadcast.

BUILD STATUS
Haunted House Hellshift is currently an early demo, not a finished release. Systems, visuals, balance, levels, enemies, bosses, and effects may change. Coverage should describe the available build as an early demo.
