"Spooky New Escape Room Game 'The Haunted Carnival' Now on Android"

Ever wondered how quickly a carnival can turn from fun to frightening? Just dim the lights and add a couple of murderous clowns, and you've got yourself a scene straight out of a horror movie. If you're skeptical, perhaps a visit to The Haunted Carnival might convince you otherwise.

Now available on Android, The Haunted Carnival is an escape room-style puzzler that thrusts you into the heart of a chilling carnival with a singular goal: to escape. Much like last week's highlight, Legacy Reawakening, this game combines the classic elements of a point-and-click adventure with the freedom to explore a fully rendered carnival environment at your own pace.

The carnival isn't a seamless expanse; instead, it's segmented into five distinct rooms, each packed with five unique puzzles. The Haunted Carnival promises not only intrigue but also a generous serving of spookiness. If clowns send shivers down your spine, you might want to steer clear of this one.

**Admit one**

I'll admit, I was initially wary upon spotting some AI-generated art in The Haunted Carnival's icon. However, my concerns were pleasantly dispelled—and somewhat baffled—to find the actual gameplay featuring delightful, crisp low-poly environments that are genuinely appealing.

As for the puzzles themselves, while I haven't had the chance to dive in personally, if they match the quality of the environment design, then The Haunted Carnival is definitely worth exploring.
