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!
