Housefire, the developers known for the 2025 horror game Eclipsium, is venturing into the co-op comedy genre with their new title, All Haul The King. The game tasks players with a singular, peculiar objective: to transport the enormous, elastic corpse of a goblin sovereign across the game's world to the Throne of Resurrection.
The central mechanic revolves around manipulating the goblin king's massive body, which is described as an unwieldy object. Players will need to strategize how to move this unwieldy carcass, potentially transforming it into more manageable forms such as an anvil to reduce wobbling. The journey will involve navigating challenging terrain, including cracked bridges, and solving environmental puzzles using tools like magnets and pulleys.
Adding to the chaotic gameplay, the deceased goblin king retains some peculiar biological functions. He can consume various items, from flowers and rats to even his fellow players, with unpredictable and often humorous consequences. The developers have hinted at experimentation with magic spells, which can alter the environment and its inhabitants in bizarre ways, such as turning penguins into fridges or anvils into rats.
While the tone and gameplay of All Haul The King starkly contrast with the horror elements of Eclipsium, some visual cues like lurid colors and odd proportions remain. The game is currently in a playtest phase, with a full release planned for the near future.
