About the game

Haunted Paws is a Cozy Coop Horror game where you will play as two Puppies trying to rescue their human friend in a haunted mansion. Create your puppy, explore spooky environments and defeat evil creatures in an action packed adventure!

Early Success

Haunted Paws hasn’t been released yet, but it has already attracted a lot of attention from players around the world. The game has over 900,000 wishlists on Steam and has generated millions of views across social media.

Last year, we also held an open playtest that attracted more than 300,000 unique players.

Gameplay and Lore

Haunted Paws follows two puppies searching for their owner, Maya, a journalist who mysteriously disappears while investigating strange events around the Chompton estate and a new dog-cookie factory near Barkville. Following her trail through the forest and construction site, the puppies eventually reach the Chompton mansion, which has been transformed by a mysterious supernatural Portal. Their goal is simple: climb to the top of the mansion, overcome its dangerous guardians, and bring Maya home.

Along the way, the puppies explore increasingly strange environments, encounter unusual characters, and face powerful creatures guarding different parts of the mansion. But as they get closer to Maya, they begin to realize that these monsters may not be the true source of what is happening. Something far more mysterious appears to be controlling events from the shadows, turning their rescue mission into a journey that slowly uncovers the secrets behind the mansion and its transformation.
