In an old mansion deep in the woods, Grace the ghost is just trying to have a peaceful night. 

But every time you scare off guests more just keep coming! So, this time, everything has to go just right: nothing out of place, all things "normal." Except the house is a tricksy little thing and can't stand to let go of a photo opportunity! As new ghost hunters come in trying to get photos, the house will make things go very wrong. If they get a picture, there will be no end to new thrill-seekers! 

Bore the ghost hunters to death! 

And maybe then, you can have a peaceful spot of tea.

How to Play

  • Use
    WASD
    to move around
  • Move over an item to start defusing it, once the icon is filled up it's fixed
  • Keep the ghost hunters from getting pictures by defusing active items before they can see them
  • Last until morning without getting a picture taken!
Tips and Tricks
  • If an item is moving but not smoking it's winding up! Move over it to stop it from going off before it starts
  • The ghost hunters can't see you
  • Bumping into an object will set it off, distract the hunters or cause yourself problems

A short haunted experience we made in 48 hours for the GMTK game jam 2023. The theme was "Roles Reversed".

Dear Jonas Tryoller,

I hope you’re doing well! My name is Renil Mathew Felix, and I’m reaching out from Banzan Studios, the team behind SnackR—an exciting new platform that combines the best of TikTok, YouTube, and Patreon, specifically designed for creators like you. We’ve been following your work, and we’re particularly impressed by your project, "Normal Activites" The creativity behind it caught our attention, and we believe it would resonate well with our growing audience on SnackR. SnackR is an all-in-one platform where creators can share games, animations, and comics, and engage with a dedicated mobile-first audience. This is built by a team of folks who have been creators themselves and have faced the same problems that young creators like you do. Each feature and functionality is built while keeping the ‘Creator’ in mind. We're focused on giving creators control over their content and its reach, and we'd love for you to be part of this journey. While "Normal Activites" truly stood out to us, you’re not limited to submitting just that—we’d be thrilled to explore any other game or project you think might be a great fit for SnackR as well. If you're interested in learning more about how SnackR could benefit you and help you reach new audiences, I’d love to discuss this further. Please let me know if you’re available for a quick chat. Feel free to check us out in the meantime: Website: https://banzan.co/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/banzanstudios/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/banzanstudios/ I’ll also share a short video showcasing what SnackR is all about—this will give you a better sense of how we’re creating a platform tailored for creators like you: ~ https://www.instagram.com/p/DCVjW1LIM07/ Here's the actual app on Google Play. Let me know what you think! ~ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.web.banzan_snackr.twa&hl=en

 Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

Best regards,

Really cool game! It's spooky but in a good way (even funny especially the singing)

(+1)

From the (other) 24 person team, I can assure you that you were way more organized than us, awesome game :)

(+2)

It's crazy that this has been made in only 48 hours, so good!

(+4)

Really good game, finally completed it:

Wow congrats! Game turned out to be kinda hard so well done :)
Also thanks for your kind words

(+1)

How is it this good for a jam game?!

Through an intense effort from everyone in a big team of professionals, I'd say. Thank you so much for your compliment, I'm happy you enjoyed it!

(+1)

Best game ever

(+1)

Estou sem palavras...

"Bem feito" não é suficiente para descrever este projeto.

A interface do usuário, os designs, os visuais, o polimento e a música ... 

Tudo é perfeito 👌

(+1)

Obrigado pelos seus comentários agradáveis. Nós realmente apreciamos isso. Foi um grande esforço de equipe. (Traduzido com DDG)

This game contains only natural activities.

I like it.

(+3)

Well, I like you :)

(+3)

I may be biased but this is the best game everrr!


Good job team!

I'm pretty biased, too. This was such a fun experience. I'm so happy I got to work on this awesome game. ^ ^

(+2)

say cheese!

Cheeeeeese :D

(+4)

Loved all of the visuals and the music/sfx

the AI feels goofy at times which I like.
And the whole mansion looks awesome!
And great atmosphere.

you guys all did a great job

Thank you so much Bardia, we all really appreciate your kind words

(+4)(-1)

It's okay I ate some mac-and-cheese to make up for no mac build

(1 edit) (+3)

it is really pretty. a little unclear at the begining because you can start moving right from the start so is easy to miss the tutorial 
but awesome game. good job to all the team. 

(+1)

Thank you so much! Yep, others have missed the tutorial too at some point

I had to restart the game because I initially missed the tutorial haha

(+1)

Oh lol

Would love a Mac or WebGL build :) 

(+2)

Unfortunately we couldn't get WebGL to work and we ran out of time for a Mac build :( 

Wow what a great game. there is a little problem that i am unsure you are aware of. When I start the game/round a Dev console or something like that with a list of the same error regarding the colour of a object. idk but it didn't interfere with gameplay. Good job guys, fun game.

(+3)

final version incoming... You've played a development build :D

(1 edit)

ahh ok

(+1)

Yeah so the new version is up so that's cool huh?

(+2)

dawg this is sick. i love indie games

(+1)

And indie games love you!

(+2)

I really liked the visuals and music. They really fit in well with the game’s style and pace. Well Done!

(+2)

Thank you so much <3

You’re Welcome!
