Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager

Scream Operator is a quirky pixel-art management sim where you run a haunted house attraction from behind a complex mechanical dashboard.

You oversee the complete flow of the ride. From loading anxious guests and triggering the pre-show, to routing empty carts back into the depot, every single action is in your hands.

Manually activate a wide array of special effects, like showlights, fire, steam, smoke, and eerie music, to maximize the experience.

You are fully responsible for the economic wellbeing of your ride. To survive in this harsh industry, you most obtain generate income, sustain your scare score, and watch out for risk and the ever-growing waiting time of your guests...

Cash pays the bills, but your true success is measured in prestiges. Guests ruthlessly rate your ride on Safety, Immersion, and Waiting Time.

Spend your hard-earned stars to streamline your operation. Buy impressive chandeliers for the queue, automate the manual labor with advanced braking systems and FX-triggers, or upgrade your track speed to crush wait times.

Face an intense campaign where no two shifts are the same. Adapt your strategy on the fly as you handle impatient crowds that tank your scores, or survive special themed events like Night at the Opera and Friday the 13th.
