Who needs a quiet life anyway? In HorrorVale, your next-door neighbours are zombies, the mail gets delivered by reanimated monsters, and ghosts keep hiding in your bathroom — and that’s just a regular Tuesday. Developer BatWorks Software and publisher Electric Airship invite you into the friendliest underworld you’ll ever explore, where death is basically just a fashion statement.
Alice and the Dog Who Won’t Stay Down
You play as Alice, a young skeleton witch-in-training whose peaceful existence is upended when her beloved zombie dog Scruffy is snatched by a horde of bizarre invaders. Once HorrorVale was a cosy, spooky haven where everyone — living, dead, or somewhere in between — got along. Now strange monsters known as the Creepies have appeared, throwing the Underworld into chaos. Your mission: journey through haunted streets, creepy woods, misty bogs, and forgotten realms to get Scruffy back.
?? Don’t Worry — Everyone’s Already Dead
Here’s the best part: guilt-free adventuring. Every foe you face, every “defeat” you deal — nobody is actually dying. They’re already there. That doesn’t mean the fights are easy, though. HorrorVale serves up classic turn-based RPG combat with a spooktacular twist:
- Over 50 hours of adventure across four sprawling Acts
- Recruit 30+ unique party members — each with their own skills, backstories, and weird quirks
- Shared XP system means no grinding, no dead weight — experiment freely with your squad
- 60 sidequests that dig deep into the lives and afterlives of HorrorVale’s wonderful weirdos
Where Every Day Goes Bump in the Night
The world itself is a character — a vibrant, handcrafted Underworld where:
- Friendly zombies wave from their porches
- Ghouls run local shops
- Ghosts pop up for a chat (or a scare)
- And the townsfolk are far more scared of you than you are of them
It’s horror reimagined as heartwarming — equal parts spooky, silly, and sincere.
