If you’re after something spooky to play in the run up to Halloween this year, then you might want to consider An English Haunting from developer Postmodern Adventures.
Available via the Switch eShop now, this is a classic point-and-click adventure with retro-inspired visuals and a dark, spooky atmosphere. It kinda reminds us of The Darkside Detective, which was an excellent entry to the genre back in 2017.
You’ve got touchscreen support with this one in handheld mode, but for those who prefer docked, you can also connect a USB mouse for proper PC-like controls. As for the story, An English Haunting sees you step into the shoes of Professor Patrick More, who “teams up with a deceptive medium to create an extraordinary device that can reveal what lies beyond our world”.
In short, it sounds like a delightfully traditional horror story, and we’re here for it. Now let’s check out the key features:
– Point & click adventure gameplay based on inventory puzzles.
– More than 60 detailed pixel art backgrounds to explore.
– A cast of more than 70 characters to interact with, including real figures from the period, such as the medium Florence Cook, physicist William Crookes, illusionist Harry Houdini, and even writer Arthur Conan Doyle, whom you will control to solve one of the game’s mysteries.
– Inspired by the works of the greatest horror authors from the beginning of the 20th century, M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and Arthur Machen.
– Text available in English or Spanish
