Haunted FAQ and 1.1.2 release

Introduction

We wanted to confirm a FAQ from the network, and are also releasing a new version of Haunted which improves the player experience by adjusting the safety system.

FAQ

We’ve received a few questions about whether Haunted is only available for Halloween.
We can confirm that Haunted is now part of our ongoing catalogue and will remain available after the Halloween season.

Release notes

Reminder: Ensure the Content Server, Game Master station, all Streaming Servers, and the Spectator machine (if available) are on, and a game is selected. The update will start once the game loads and takes ~30 minutes.

Updates

• Update to player safety system for Haunted

  • To provide a better experience for players - based on the behavior we’re seeing and acknowledging that Haunted is a low-intensity, controller-free game - we’ve turned off the safety alarm sound for player-to-player proximity.

  • Players often huddle together or hold hands during the experience, and the alarms only detract from immersion. We’re also seeing players move more slowly overall, often cowering or taking a defensive pose during jump scares.

  • The safety alarm sound will remain active for walls and when the game is paused.
• Other updates
  • We’ve also adjusted the final clip in the player highlight video to better capture the jumpscare moment.
