We’re two Seattle-based east coasters developing Haunted Heist, a co-op game about making your friends giggle in horrified delight.

Haunted Heist is a round-based PvP horror party game where Heisters race to collect gems in a procedurally generated mansion while Tricksters use chaotic abilities to derail, harass, and scare them away from victory.

Outwit your opponents, survive the haunt, and win before time runs out. It draws influence from Lethal Company, Peak, Dead by Daylight, L4D2, Luigi’s Mansion, and more.

Just a couple of childhood friends tbh

autotroph games is an indie studio based out of Seattle, Washington, formed by developer Jakob Herlitz (right) and designer Dominic Giardini (left). The two became friends in middle school, started making YouTube videos soon after, and somehow ended up across the country together.

Jakob works as a Software Engineer at DoorDash, and Dominic was most recently on contract at Meta’s Reality Labs.

They’re making Haunted Heist so that they have something fun to play with Jakob’s 3 brothers every Wednesday night.
