Deck of Haunts

Bought this for Steam's Deck Builder Festival. On the surface, the game looks like it scratches a lot of itches I have, being a roguelike focused on building a haunted mansion and scaring visitors and explorers. Horror from the perspective of the monster, where you have to manage ressources to incur terror.

However, the game is way too boring and lacks the atmosphere needed to be a »scary« game. You might play as the one doing the horror-ing, but the game should still feel like a horror game instead of a boring mobile game with an uninspired UI, forgettable music, missing description texts and boring mechanics. The entire gameplay can be boiled down to applying red or blue damage to the people. Reminds me a lot of Lobotomy Corporation, which also has an awesome premise: Manage an SCP lab and learn about these entities you are the warden of. However, the gameplay and presentation itself is that of a shitty mobile game, which makes it impossible to enjoy for me.
