Explore Manor Madness

Manor Madness is a 3D, third-person sandbox game. In this game, you play a young ghost, Ghustav, who wants to learn how to become a real poltergeist.

As a ghost, you can possess, throw, and interact with different objects around the house. Observe each visitor carefully to understand their fears and exploit them to make the humans’ blood run cold.

Ghustav attends Polterhigh, the most prestigious school for poltergeisting. In the course Manor Madness, you will learn what it means to be a poltergeist and what abilities are at your disposal. In each assignment, your goal is to scare all the humans out of your assigned manor.

Currently on sale, the manor is frequented by humans interested in buying the building and a realtor trying his best to sell the house. He needs to get creative in finding excuses for your spooky shenanigans. The realtor has a soothing effect on the other humans in the room. Distract him to maximize your scariness.

Will you merely be able to send a shiver down their spine, or will you succeed in scaring their pants off? Your class starts now!
