Disney's The Haunted Mansion

Game Overview

Disney's The Haunted Mansion captures the whimsical, eerie aesthetic of the classic theme park dark ride while offering engaging, Luigi's Mansion-style exploration mechanics. Developed by High Voltage Software, the game transports players through 54 distinct rooms filled with hidden traps, dark corridors, interactive environmental puzzles, and aggressive specters.

Players control Zeke Holloway as he navigates the mansion under the guidance of Madame Leota, a friendly spirit trapped inside a crystal ball. Zeke's primary tool is the Beacon—a special lantern powered by Souls of Light that shoots beams of light to stun, defeat, and capture hostile phantoms. Throughout the journey, players collect hidden death certificates, upgrade the Beacon's power output with magical gems, and restore light to darkened rooms to free the 999 good ghosts imprisoned by the villainous Atticus Thorn. Combining atmospheric music, family-friendly horror elements, and smooth action platforming, the title serves as an enjoyable adventure on the GameCube platform.
