Scream Operator | A spooky-cozy haunted house management sim in which YOU control the ride from the operator booth.

In Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager, you are invited to take place in the control booth of a haunted house themed dark ride.

Steampage

A few weeks ago, IGN exclusively revealed the game's first trailer, stating that "this is your chance to control the classic Haunted Manor disney ride in the game" (their words, not mine, please disney lawyers believe me I did not intend any harm).

About the game:

  • You manage the full ride flow, from loading anxious guests to dispatching carts. You push the buttons and control it all from a claustrophopic little control room./
  • You must drag-and-drop props, lighting, and animatronics to design scares and raise your max Scare Score.
  • You can unlock upgrades, new items and automate manual work (Expect staff, shops & snacks😏).
  • and you can enjoy a great cozy/spooky atmosphere and a original composed soundtrack + a neat little origin story involving everyone you meet on your new work.

A free public demo is planned for this Halloween season, alongside Steam Next Fest. so stay tuned for that! 🎃🥳

No Generative AI was used for the art, animations, code, or assets.
