Released into Early Access last October, developer Smidge Games’ haunted house management game Horror Tycoon has received a new update that introduces an array of enhancements, bug fixes, and new content for those burgeoning haunted house managers.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the dedicated community that has supported Horror Tycoon since its launch,” says Smidge Games’ Casey Clark. “Major Update Two is a testament to our commitment to delivering a top-notch experience for our players.”
New for this update is an additional area in The Lake. Players can explore this new locale and uncover its secrets, adding a new layer of depth to their haunted house. The update also brings with it new decorations, construction items, scare traps and more to help in the design of your haunted house attraction.
The developers have also squashed several bugs with the new update, as well as introduce several quality of life enhancements, making it easier for players to customize their haunted house, manage resources, and interact with the game world.
Taking on a more sinister approach to the Rollarcoaster Tycoon concept, in Horror Tycoon, you are in charge of building and managing your own haunted house in order to scare your guests for fame and fortune. The key to the game is that you have to be able to scare your guests enough for them to run out of the house before they reach the exit.
To ensure your guests are sufficiently frightened, you’ll need to build walls, doorways, trap doors, fake walls, and more to guide your guests through your haunted maze. As your fear reputation increases, so do the demands of your visitors. Eventually, you’ll have to employ traps that are truly horrific, giving you the ability to make guests disappear from the living and join the dead. Don’t get caught, or else your career will be over.
Horror Tycoon is out now on Steam.
