A haunted mansion. Ghosts closing in. Treasure just within reach. That is the setup for Haunted Headlines: Don’t Scream, a new adventure game that throws you into a cursed house and dares you to come out the other side in one piece. Whether you are the type to charge headfirst into the dark or the type who needs a moment before opening a creaky door, the game makes room for both.

The game takes place inside a haunted mansion where players take on the role of an explorer navigating through dark and eerie halls. The atmosphere leans heavily into classic horror imagery, with swaying chandeliers, faint sobbing in the background, and ghosts that creep closer as you move through each room. The environment is built to keep players on edge throughout.

Players do not enter the mansion without a way to defend themselves. The game features a weapon and crafting system where you search rooms to find equipment, upgrade your gear, or put together spells to use against the ghosts. Even something as simple as an old flashlight can be turned into a useful tool. Each ghost also has a specific weakness, and figuring out what that weakness is plays a big part in how you approach combat.

Alongside the ghost encounters, the mansion is also loaded with loot. Gold coins and rare items are spread throughout, and players get to decide how far they want to push their luck. Taking what you find early and getting out is one option, but going deeper into the mansion opens up the possibility of finding more valuable rewards. The game makes it clear, though, that pushing too far comes with serious consequences.

Haunted Headlines: Don’t Scream also carries a narrative layer. The ghosts haunting the mansion are tied to a larger mystery, and clues are hidden throughout in the form of cursed text and other environmental details. Player choices throughout the game influence how the story wraps up, with outcomes ranging from escaping the mansion to something far worse.

If a spooky mansion crawl with gear crafting and treasure hunting sounds like your kind of adventure, this one is worth checking out. Haunted Headlines: Don’t Scream is currently on the Google Play Store.
