[Delaware, United States - March 18, 2024] - Prepare to face evil spirits, twisted creatures, cultists, and more as they terrorize the cursed burial grounds of Haunted Lands. Inspired by John Romero’s classic platformer Dangerous Dave, this dark and bloody retro action platformer lets you choose from five unique characters, each with distinct abilities and playstyles, as you explore the ruins of crypts and tombs to battle hordes of undead and fearsome bosses. Don’t miss your chance to get in on the spine-chilling action early, as developer Alevgor and publisher Alawar are hosting a terrifying Haunted Lands playtest available now!



The haunted lands are in desperate need of a hero, and only you can save the cursed burial grounds overrun with all manner of enemies. In Haunted Lands, choose from five unique characters: a Gunner to take out foes from a distance, a Beast to leap, pounce, and shred enemies with razor-sharp claws, or a Mage to wield an arsenal of powerful and versatile lightning spells as you fight through the night. From common minions to deadly cultists and their elite, buffed versions, plus formidable bosses, players will face a challenge no matter which character they choose.

As you cleanse the lands, gather powerful artifacts to boost the offensive and defensive abilities of the Gunner, Beast, and Mage. With numerous artifacts to collect, the most powerful ones can even drastically alter your character’s abilities. For those seeking an even greater challenge, try completing every objective with each character and uncover every hidden secret. Only the most skilled will descend into the hellish depths of Haunted Lands and emerge unscathed.
