Venture through a chilling haunted residence, assumed by you and a companion, as canine companions on a mission to seek and rescue your lost human companion.

Brace yourselves, fellow gamers! Haunted Paws, the upcoming adventure game where you transform into a puppy and embark on a haunted house investigation with a buddy, has captivated the gaming community with its unique premise. This year, it was showcased during the Wholesome Direct, offering a tantalizing sneak peek into the gameplay.

In Haunted Paws, the objectives aren't your run-of-the-mill manhunt; instead, you'll find yourself in a nail-biting ghostly mansion. However, you won't be alone in your pursuit – you'll need to recruit a friend to tag along with you on this spine-tingling journey.

Together, you and your canine comrade will be faced with the challenge of solving the mystery of your missing human companion. Simple tasks like opening doors won't be a solo affair; the puzzles require the combined efforts of two sets of paws. Choosing someone you enjoy co-op gaming with is essential, as teamwork will be crucial to success, especially during those nail-biting moments.

Alongside the primary objective, you and your furry partner will have plenty of smaller challenges to conquer, such as marking your territory 30 times. Expect those adorable, playful interactions common to all dog friends to break up the eerie environments.

One of the most appealing aspects of Haunted Paws is the high level of customization. You can select your puppy's breed, alter its fur color, and even choose the perfect collar for your virtual pooch. Whether you dream of having a fluffy Poodle, a sturdy German Shepherd, or a clever Border Collie, the choice is yours. If you were like me, you might imagine putting my nervous Pomeranian into this haunted house scenario – I can only imagine his terrified yowls echoing through the halls!

An exact release date for Haunted Paws has not been disclosed yet. However, a closed alpha has been launched concurrently with the Wholesome Direct, allowing eager players to test the game and offer valuable feedback. Following the alpha, we can expect more information to surface, revealing intriguing details about this highly anticipated game that promises to create chaos among friendships as players embrace the joy of being fictional furry friends. And hey, who wouldn't want that?
