👀 Screen-Squint Syndrome! 👀

Yikes! It seems you're trying to launch this digital masterpiece on a device so tiny, ants are pitching it as prime real estate. That gadget's squeezing pixels tighter than jeans after Thanksgiving dinner. Here's a hot tip: trade in that digital breadcrumb for something with a bit more real estate. 📱➡️🖥️ Let's upscale from tickler to blockbuster, shall we? Bigger is better... at least for epic gaming and app adventures!

Previously ...

Our beloved heroine, the Princess, badass ruler of Castle Creep, has defeated the army of Hauntessa Spookish, the great hauntress from the Hauntosphere and seventh cousin, fourth degree, of GhostFace. But the elusive Hauntessa, though severely wounded, escaped her doom and took sanctuary in the Hauntosphere, where she recovers to deadly polka music.

The Princess must not wait, she needs to get her heels dirty again and follow Hauntessa into the Hauntosphere to finish the old ghostly hag once and for all.

Wake up and get going, brave adventurer, you will lead the Princess in her adventures.

About:

TombRaider

Haunting the Hauntessa is the thrilling sequel to Castle Haunt II (and I, of course), The Curse of the Castle Creep, and all its legendary predecessors. It draws inspiration from early 90s 3D games like Doom (1993) and Tomb Raider (1996), and carries on the saga of the Princess, brat turned badass heroine in high heels. It caters to retro aficionados who prefer playing on normal screens rather than tickling their phones.

HTH runs on the improved CastleHaunt II engine, lovingly called ENGINE, embracing full 3D gameplay, not just the look. ENGINE is heavily optimized for performance, with GLSL shaders that make your GPU nicely warm and cosy. It should run at 60 FPS on any modern computer, no, a 286 is not considered modern.

Doom

Loading insane amount of data ... just a minute or two ... be patient ... I hope you have good internet speed ... this game is huge (680Mb)!
