Haunted Heist

🕯️ Possession Payday

You are a team of robbers (singleplayer for now) trying to hit big scores by robbing houses. But things go terribly wrong...

Your driver leads you to what seems like another target. You break in, start grabbing items—easy money. But something feels off. One of your teammates starts acting strange. He drops stolen items. He damages the truck. He even turns violent.

Then it hits you: this house is haunted.

The ghosts don't just haunt—they possess. And when they do, they force you to sabotage your own team, or die.

But the worst part?

The loop.
No matter how far you go, no matter how much you steal…
Your driver always brings you back to the same cursed house.
The ghost has twisted his mind. You're trapped in an endless robbery, and every loop gets harder.

🧠 Core Mechanics

• 👻 Possession: Randomly during the heist, you may get possessed. When it happens, you have two choices:

  • Drop an item you're holding to survive

  • Or damage your truck (Left-click while looking at it). Every hit costs truck HP and increases your quota.

  • Truck reaches 0 HP? You lose.

• 💸 Quota System: Each round has a quota (minimum value to steal). Deposit items into the truck to raise your balance. Meet the quota to progress to the next loop. Fail to meet it and you're stuck.

• 📈 Increasing Difficulty: Every new loop adds new challenges:

  • No lights in later levels

  • Fewer rooms

  • Unpredictable ghost activity

💡 How to Play

• Start near your truck. Two golden cups are placed nearby (tutorial purposes). Look at them and press E to pick up.

• Get in the truck and press G to drop items.

• Press E near the old computer to view:

  • Quota (goal)

  • Balance (value of deposited items)

  • Use the Next Round button if you've met the quota

• To enter the house, go to the door and Hold E (a bit buggy, will be fixed).

• Loot the house, escape, and deposit items to hit quota.

🧪 Note from the Dev

This is a pre-release alpha demo built for a game jam. It’s rough around the edges, but the core idea is playable. Feedback is gold — feel free to drop thoughts, bugs, or gameplay suggestions!
