If you're looking for a thrilling experience that combines the eerie atmosphere of a carnival with the challenge of escape room puzzles, then *The Haunted Carnival* might be just the game for you. Now available on Android, this escape room-style puzzler drops you right into the heart of a haunting carnival, with the sole goal of finding your way out. But be warned, it's not just a walk in the park; the carnival is filled with obstacles and puzzles that stand between you and your freedom.
Unlike a typical point-and-click adventure, *The Haunted Carnival* offers a fully rendered carnival environment that you can explore at your own pace.

Initially, I had some reservations upon noticing the use of AI-generated art in the game's icon for *The Haunted Carnival*. However, my skepticism turned into pleasant surprise—and a bit of confusion—when I discovered the game's actual environment. The low-poly graphics create a visually appealing and immersive carnival setting that truly enhances the gameplay experience.
While I haven't had the chance to delve into the puzzles myself, if they're crafted with the same care as the game's environment, then *The Haunted Carnival* is definitely worth checking out.
