Haunted House Renovatoris currently a solo experience, and there is nothing to suggest that this will change throughout the game’s development. This may seem surprising, given the game’s similarities with titles such asPhasmophobiaorLethal Company, but if Image Power wants to lean hard into the horror and mystique ofHaunted House Renovator, it may not be a bad idea. Nothing takes the fear or mystery out of aclassic haunted house experiencemore than barreling down the corridors with friends, so isolating the player as they take on each house and everything that lies within it is a surefire way to up the stakes.Haunted House Renovatorpromises a full single-player campaign on launch, hinting at a wider story being available to gamers that wouldn’t have the same effect if done with friends.
