We gonna haunt again!
January 6, 2022I know there are a lot of SENSUAL HAUNTING fans here!
2015
We’ve released this game many years ago on sexandglory.com. In 2015 the game was praised for the interesting concept, unique gameplay solutions and engaging story. The characters were diverse – every girl got different personality and hidden secrets making exploration of the house, interactions and a process of unfolding the plot a thrilling experience.
The problem was just enormous amount of grind – I was playing this game many times in the recent weeks and I need to admit it was really mundane effort. Maybe it was okay in 2015 but this gameplay aspect isn’t attractive enough now. Slow stat building, chasing girls from one room to another, seeking for any possible interaction – we’ve made a decision that if we want to come back to that concept, this need to be fixed.
Take a look on the visuals from the original SENSUAL HAUNTING game. If you want to play it, you can find it on sexandglory.com
Many of you were asking us about the sequel. To be honest, we were thinking about that for many months but finally we’ve never made it.
2022
Right now, in 2022, we would like to announce a new project which will be build over the foundation of original SENSUAL HAUNTING. We’re going to come back to the same location, haunted by Sammy Granville, with the same characters but… played by different actors. We’ve decided to cast different models to the game because we want to make a huge refresh – not only in terms of new gameplay, extra content but also astonishing visuals. Old models based on V4 were just to outdated and we wanted something really one of a kind.
To keep our old fans content, the new cast is based on the old models – we’ve tried to keep the spirit of them, by having similar outfit elements, hairstyle or just this evil something in the smile. I’m sure players who know the original game are going to easy find similarities between new and old girls. Models were designed by YamYoda – the same guy who gave us Tracy and Lisa and the whole game will be rendered by BUBX who recently delivered us so well received BLOODLINES and many other games in the past. Copywriting? NEALE – the girl with a huge experience in the area of a little more ambitious erotic texts, responsible for ARKHAM, ROMANCE AFTER DARK and more.
Rendering process will start soon and Neale is already working with texts. I was playing very early prototype of the game, only text based, and I need to admit that Ivan made a fantastic job with switching the gameplay from mundane stat building grind fest into an well paced visual novel with great interactivity. But be not afraid, it’s not typical visual novel with a lot of texts to click – more like an interactive story where you travel between locations and take actions which will influence your stats and future outcomes. Something so perfectly balanced that you’ll fall in love with it.
Below you’ll find some first concepts – not final quality yet.
We’ve very thrilled with this project and we plan to release it this year (2022). What’s more, we’re designing an expansion to BLOODLINES – we’ll present more information about that project later.
And yes, LWT expansion is still under construction – right now we’re rendering, writing texts and soon we’ll start the development process.
I’m going to take a wait and see approach with this. I’ve been a huge advocate for more Sensual Haunting, I love the original! The characters and gameplay were great, even if like you said it was rather grindy. If the gameplay is still open where you can use your powers to access certain repeatable events with characters, and advancing with one of the characters will unlock more repeatable events with them, then great. If it’s got the “openness” of the original LwT2, then not so much.
When it comes to the character designs, it’s mixed for me. I like the look of them, I think they are great in isolation but they really don’t remind me of the originals at all, apart from Natasha and Elizabeth. I understand the models might be dated but you still reused Elizabeth in Vampire Stories not so long ago, and people still love the Tracy, Lisa and Eleanor models which are just as old or older. If this was a standalone Sensual Haunting game, set in the same world but with a different house with a different family, and these were the characters, I’ll have no problem in that department. Hell, it could be the same house but with a new family that’s moved in, which will be fine too.
Overall I’ll keep an eye out for future updates before its release but I’m not as excited as I thought I would be. Who knows, more screenshots and info on the gameplay might pique my interest.
Yeah the characters look great, but the old Sensual Haunting was one of the more aesthetically pleasing games so I don’t think the characters needed to be replaced. But yeah, they also look great, we’ll see. Great news nonetheless
I think same house but with a new family / group of friends would be a great idea. In this case, Natasha could still appear as a character and maybe an event with Elizabeth coming back to her past.
Remaking Hotwife Tara AND Sensual Haunting, did you guys get a copy of my Christmas Wishlist?
Sensual Haunting and Bloodlines both had mind control elements, something I’m not into and turned me off from those games.
But this news gives me hope that you’ll revisit another S&G favorite in a not so distant future – House Party.
This was the one that got me into S&G. I’m glad that LOP is remastering this gem.
I am very happy that you are coming back to this project! I loved playing SH and I still like to come back to the game because it had a lot of great events. Looking at the new models, I am a bit disappointed. Especially Lynda …. I am a bit average about the style of the characters, who differ only in the face and skin tone, and their breasts are exactly the same … (Well, maybe different sizes, which is a lot for the models from the original game more outlined). I may be weird, but a bit sad to see the same type of nipples in all characters …
Cool!!
wow sensual haunting remake, can’t wait. this is one of your masterpiece games along with bloodlines and lwt. i think most of the models look fine, but lynda and marin (especially marin) need more work. they should be a bit bustier, and marin is just super off. marin looks like an older sister. she looks nothing like her old model, which gave her some heavy milfy vibes. the original hair is just way better. lynda doesn’t give off that eccentric look that the old model captured. she looks less seductress and more jealous if that makes sense.
I love this announcement! I loved the game back in the day and the updated models look great! Can’t wait!
Just update the old character models in a same way you did with Living with Temptation and Eleanor, those models look better and much more memrable than this new ones.
Use this new models on something new instead.
Without the original models the game would not feel the same.
Love this,probably my favorite S&G game,glad you’re decided to come back to it and refresh it.
I’m just over here checking each Friday for any LWT news I can get lol
While I like the idea of a retreading of Sensual haunting, I’m also in the mixed bag of the new character designs. Of the 5 reveals, I only liked 1-2 of them. Mainly Elizabeth
I mean, if you are going to go with the only inspired by the previous character designs. Just go with new characters instead, but keep the concept/move it either forward into the current day or go into the past a few decades of your choice.
If you moved the story to the current day , you can start the story with a new family that has moved into the house. Same Ghost problems.
If you moved the story to the past, you can explore more of the ghosts past and had some interesting storeline to go with it.
