Pseudo-Haunting
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Have you ever wondered why ghosts are so rare? If everyone who dies becomes one, shouldn’t we see them all the time?
The answer is simple: we do see them, but they don’t let us remember.
- Retro 3D graphics with photo-edited textures.
- Combat and puzzles designed around the astral projection mechanic.
- Fast-paced combat: get close to the enemies with your spirit for extra damage, but beware of leaving your real body vulnerable.
- Random enemy encounters, no room is safe.
- Surreal story revolving around an SCP-esque take on haunted houses.
The house is undead. You are inside. Its inhabitants want you. You are alone. But there’s one last chance, since you are almost one of them.
You feel trapped inside. Diseased, weak, barely holding on. You wanted an escape. So it escaped. It was you, or at least made from what is you.
- Recall your memories.
- Collect all the missing information.
- Remember your mistakes.
- Don’t give up.
“Pseudo-Haunting” is a bizarre take on retro survival horror, in which you face off against eldritch ghosts in a glitched haunted house. Your only line of defense is your own spirit. However, there’s a catch: using it leaves your real body frozen.
LINGER has been trying to understand the Haunted House phenomena for years. It’s not an easy task, since information is constantly lost.
More intensive research is needed.
We are going in.
Explore twisted, almost gone rooms. Rip yourself off your body to reach impossible spots and reveal the unseen.
- Mind-screwy map.
- Fixed camera angles built with modern controls in mind.
- Survival horror staples such as limited healing items and save points.
- Possibility of choosing between modern and tank controls.
- 6 different difficulty settings.
- Built-in achievement system.
Ever felt like you are a spirit stuck in a body that’s not yours?

NGL I'm a little stuck, any chance I could get a hint regarding right below where you found the first?
...nevermind lol thought i checked but i must have been off
tho i am unable to save. maybe cuz i dont have the items to do so but i do have one of the combo ones. it just says select item but im not sure how im supposed to do that since i seem to just eat the item if i try to use it or something
was on unlimited saves so not sure what happened there, did end up dying so im starting from a save before the latest one i had done in hopes the issue doesnt reoccur
sorry for long reply chain. able to use items now in a brand new save using the calm mode. prior save was in easy and it started occuring at the bookshelf in the room with the three doors that lead to long puzzles. in my new save i didnt actually save until i reached that room again, so issue could have been with something i did before or with the mode. dunno, figured id give info to possibly help tho. the game is rlly fun and im v intrigued so ill do whatever to complete it lol~
Holy shit this rules!
Thnx, hopefully I can have it finished and released by April.
