nothing to especially write home about in terms of story and gameplay however i still absolutely adored this charming little indie game and the art on its own is absolutely breath-taking.
i also adore the soundtrack of this game and think it adds to the ambience of the different worlds this game offers, so if you dont end up playing, i'd atleast check that out.
finally, the devs are very active in terms of fixing bugs and issues with the game, especially within the game's reddit server. not many guides are made for the game that contain all collectibles with proper 100% completion but i managed to get close with only one achievement off simply because i couldn't be asked hunting around for anymore hats.

Hauntii is a very solid effort on all counts. There were a lot of things that I really loved about this game and some, not so much.
The visuals, music, and story were all top-notch. I could see myself listening to the soundtrack in the future for sure. The little memory vignettes are enduring and sweet. I enjoyed them very much.
The gameplay to me was at best serviceable and frustrating at worst. I was originally trying to get all of the stars, but oftentimes I found myself wandering around lost looking for 1-2 of them (skill issue maybe). It put me off on collecting everything, though.
The platforming was also a source of frustration in some areas, although not too bad. The checkpoint system could also be refined in my opinion. Sometimes I missed a checkpoint and would be taken back farther than I would have liked. I would have liked to be able to fast travel to any point on the map as well.
Overall, the sublime soundtrack and visuals were worth some frustrating gameplay here and there. I would definitely recommend checking Hauntii out!

What an absolutely gorgeous game this is. Just the entire presentation with the artstyle, music, and subtle storytelling happening is just 10/10 top notch.
I would love to spend even longer in this wonderful world they have created. Personally I didn't find the game too hard, though it can be a bit tricky in a couple areas and it was definitely a bit of a challenge to 100%.
I just want more :D Glad to have bought this and i highly recommend everyone tries it.
Will say though it's more of an exploration collectathon game than puzzle or combat, though it has those elements in it. I personally like these kinds of games, so it wasn't a big deal for me. Just wanted to make sure to mention it so people understand what they get into.
Also it's so PREEEEEEEEEETTYYYYYYYY i can't get over it. Cinema
