Japhet Interactive has announced Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager, a new 2D pixel-art management simulation game coming to PC in Q1 2027. Players will take on the role of a haunted house operator, managing the attraction from a control booth.
The gameplay will involve dispatching ride vehicles, triggering pre-shows, placing props and animatronics, managing merchandise, and upgrading the facility's technology. The ultimate goal, beyond surviving the shift and paying the bills, is to effectively scare the guests. The perspective will be top-down, emphasizing the management aspects of running a haunted attraction.
A playable demo of Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager is scheduled for release this Halloween. The game is currently available to wishlist on PC.
