Disney’s The Haunted Mansion is a hidden gem of an enjoyable horror game that may have flown under your radar. Don’t blame yourself, as the game’s appearance can be deceiving. In this licensed Disney title, players assume the role of Ezekiel Holloway, an aspiring author whose pursuit of success leads him to stumble upon a newspaper advertisem*nt for a caretaker position at a mysterious mansion. Unbeknownst to Zeke, this decision sets off a chain of events.
The gameplay in The Haunted Mansion bears similarities to Nintendo’s Luigi’s Mansion, as both share a comparable concept. While Luigi uses a vacuum to capture roaming spirits, Zeke wields a magical lantern capable of banishing malevolent entities. The lantern can be upgraded with mystical gems discovered by rescuing certain trapped souls.
Although Luigi’s Mansion stands as a superior example of the genre, The Haunted Mansion still provides a satisfying and enjoyable gaming experience. It may not be groundbreaking or mind-blowing, but it demonstrates that Disney-licensed titles can offer worthwhile and entertaining games.

That’s it for the list. Thank you for reading.
