Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager Announced for PC
Japhet Interactive has announced Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager, a 2D pixel-art management simulation coming to PC in Q1 2027. Inspired by classic theme park attractions like Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion, the game allows players to operate and manage their own haunted house from an in-game control booth.
Gameplay centers on the multifaceted operational responsibilities of running a successful haunted house. Players will trigger pre-shows, dispatch ride vehicles, strategically place props and animatronics, manage merchandise sales, upgrade technology systems, and handle day-to-day finances. The core objective is to effectively scare guests while maintaining smooth operations and financial stability throughout the attraction’s operation.
The game emphasizes both operational depth and player creativity in management decisions. A playable demo is scheduled to launch during Halloween 2026, giving prospective players early access to experience the core management gameplay loop before the official release. The full release will arrive in Q1 2027.
