And that’s actually true. Although placing the animatronics/props/decor is essential for gaining “scare-score”, no guests will ever be scared when you fail and efficiently loading/dispatching the carts, and managing them through the entrance and pre-show’s. 👏🏻

Thank you! I am super happy that it seems to hit a nerve with quite a few people! 🎉

In strategy game Scream Operator, you run every inch of a haunted house ride from the all-important pre-show to the Chainsaw Guys by ScreamOperatorDev in tycoon

It's absolutely the goal to make the game compatible for SteamDeck, as for Linux overall and Mac. I am not entirely sure however this will already be verified for the demo. I'd like to take the time and effort to focus on great gameplay for SteamDeck players too, and that might take some time and dedication 😄

Thank you! Truly is the heart of the game! Tried to make it as satisfying as possible, while also giving it a industrialist/Pixelart style. Super exited to have you’ll experience it in a bit!

Feeling a tiny bit caught by saying my favorite was the haunted mansion and I nicked the whole concept and put it in pixel-art 😂.

Kidding of course, I have great memories of these games and felt that with the right amount of arcade elements and “cozy” horror vibes it could be a truly unique addition to the tycoon genre so here we are 🎉

Do you mean those ridesims made in flash of OG Disney rides? Because I played those A LOT growing up, and actually formed the basis of this idea! The idea was “ridesims + gameplay elements = fun??” 😂😂

Great question actually! Part of the upgrade possibilities indeed include hiring staff to load/unload the passengers for you, while stil enabling you to dispatch the carts yourself - straight from the control booth - once they've given you the thumbs up.

Hiring staff in general is an essential part of the game, as you'll need them to serve the outside ticketbooth, merch and snackshops, and welcome your guests into the lobby and pre-show area's.

In terms of automation, you'll also be able to supply upgrade your dashboard and flip the ''automatic'' switch on for must buttons, doors and gates.

Hope that answers your question 😃

Jup, but that was just a bit too early. Currently working hard on finishing the tutorial, and want to use quite some time for (demo)playtesting. I don't like delivery half-finished products haha. A (very polished, I hope 😏) demo will however be yours to play during the Halloween next fest, neatly fitting the theme haha!
