atmospheric Kinect games yet' (Official Xbox Magazine), 'a captivating
all-ages adventure' (Gamespot) and 'a must-have for any Kinect owner,
whether young or old.' (123Kinect).
'We are absolutely thrilled with the critical reception the game has
received' said Martin Newing, Game Director at Zoë Mode. 'Haunt was a real
labour of love for the team, and it's fantastic to see that effort rewarded
with some great review scores across the board.'
'Haunt is a Haunted House game that really pushes the boundaries of Kinect
in a way that can appeal to a broad demographic, so I would really love
everyone to give it a try' added NanaOn-Sha President Masaya Matsuura.

by Microsoft.
