Haunted Paws is a cooperative horror adventure about two puppies trying to rescue their kidnapped human friend from a haunted mansion. The dogs enter a building filled with supernatural creatures, puzzles, and hidden stories connected to the mansion’s inhabitants. Rather than treating every monster as a simple enemy, the game gives the creatures their own dark pasts. Defeating them reveals more about what happened and can ultimately free them from whatever has corrupted them.
Exploring the Mansion as Puppies
The two characters behave like dogs rather than ordinary human adventurers. They can dig, sniff, bark, and use other puppy-specific actions while investigating rooms and searching for clues. Sniffing can help track important objects or routes, while digging allows the puppies to interact with places that would work differently for a human character. Cooperation is important because many situations are designed around two puppies working together.
The haunted mansion itself contains several floors, with each one introducing different environments, enemies, puzzles, and bosses. Progress means exploring these areas, discovering how their mechanisms work, escaping dangerous creatures, and eventually finding a way toward the final floor where the puppies’ human friend is being held.
Chapters, Creatures, and Puzzles
The complete adventure is structured around four chapters. Each chapter has its own levels, enemies, bosses, NPCs, and other encounters, so progression is not limited to repeatedly exploring identical mansion rooms.
The main gameplay elements include:
- Two puppies working together
- Four story chapters
- Multiple floors inside the haunted mansion
- Digging, sniffing, and barking abilities
- Environmental puzzles and mysteries
- Different enemies and supernatural creatures
- Boss encounters
- NPCs encountered during the adventure
- Escaping from dangerous creatures
- Discovering the histories behind defeated monsters
- Customizable puppy characters
Create Your Own Puppy
Before the adventure, players can design dogs using different breeds, fur colors, distinctive markings, and accessories. This allows each puppy to resemble a particular real dog or simply use a custom appearance. The customization does not replace the central gameplay: once inside the mansion, the characters still rely on exploration, cooperation, puzzle solving, and their puppy abilities to progress.
Haunted Paws therefore mixes horror encounters with investigation rather than focusing entirely on running from monsters. The two puppies gradually climb through the mansion, solve problems together, uncover what happened to its creatures, defeat bosses, and continue toward the place where their kidnapped friend is imprisoned.
