Haunted Paws Has You Playing as Two Puppies Saving Their Owner

Spooky season is coming, so it's a perfect time for some scary games, and if you like the cozy genre, have a look at this cute horror co-op where you play as one of the two adorable puppies saving their owner from a haunted mansion.

Haunted Paws, developed and published by LazyFlock, blends an eerie and heartwarming atmosphere with two little pets on a mission to solve mysteries and explore a spooky house to reunite with their loving owner. The game is a cute, engaging adventure that features exploration, sneaking, and running from evil bosses in an eerie atmosphere slightly reminiscent of Little Nightmares, but with a lighter tone.

The puppies will investigate various locations, like the Mansion, Circus, and Portal, and encounter diverse bosses, such as the Bull Monster and Bird Monster, alongside enemies like the Possessed Knights.

If you're a dog lover, you'll likely enjoy this game a lot, as the canine characters can dig, sniff, bark, and play like they would in real life. You can choose a dog breed and customize your little character's fur color and add fun accessories, like a Sherlock Holmes-style detective hat.

You can invite a friend to join for free and enjoy the adventure together as you investigate ghostly environments and run from evil creatures. The game will be available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, and will soon receive a demo, so stay tuned for updates. It has already reached a milestone of 900,000 wishlists on Steam and won the Find Your Next Game Indie Award, hosted by GameStar during Gamescom 2026.
