Hunt-or-Haunt

New scene "Autumn Ruins" updated!


Hello, hunters and ghosts!

Did any players who visited the TGS booth this year notice a new scene that's not yet in the game? Some players may have already experienced the new scene, "Autumn Ruins"! If not, no worries!

"Autumn Ruins" has been officially updated into the game!

This scene features a "magic bridge" mechanism. By stepping on one of the switches at either end of the magic bridge, the corresponding section of the bridge will disappear. If you happen to be standing on the bridge at that moment, you'll be teleported and disoriented @@
However, if both switches are pressed or neither switch is pressed, the magic bridge will appear. So, how to control the appearance and disappearance of the magic bridge to gain the greatest advantage on the route will be the challenge of "Autumn Ruins"!

There are still many details for players to explore on their own. Come and fight in the new scene!

The Year of the Rabbit and the Annual Major Update

As the Chinese New Year approaches, it has been almost a year since our EA .

First, we would like to thank our players for your support throughout this past year. Thanks to everyone, we still feel warm even in the cold winter days. Especially on Fridays, seeing familiar names made us feel even more grateful.

Looking back over the past year, we have made many updates and improvements to the game. We improved the UI to make it more attractive and user-friendly.
added new items to increase the game's variety, introduced new maps and new character designs, and made many system adjustments. We've accomplished a lot, and we're not planning to slow down. With the new year, we're bringing new updates to the game.

One of the updates we're introducing is a loot system. Players will be able to earn coins after a game and use them to draw for rewards in the character customization menu. The rewards include not only new character designs, but also cute little pets that players can have with them during the game.

To deepen the players' contributions to the game, we're also introducing an "assist" mechanism. Players will earn points for actions such as destroying, repairing, and rescuing others in the game, making every action you take valuable. The scoring system has also been adjusted so that players can switch between displaying individual game scores and total scores.

Lastly, during score settlement, players can give others a "like" to encourage them. Each "like" will give a small amount of coin reward, so please don't be stingy and give "likes" to others.

By the way, red envelopes are of course indispensable during Chinese New Year~
In line with this new year revision, as long as you play during the Spring Festival (01/20~02/05), you can get double gold coins!
With such a refreshing activity, why don’t you take advantage of the annual vacation to play a few more games!

DaOne Games here wishes all players that you can play games happily in the Year of the Rabbit!

Ghost Christmas Party ~ Limited-time Free Skins, Get In the Festive Spirit!

Hey there!

It's that time of year again – Christmas is here!

Unfortunately, it's not always the most friendly time of year for some players... Walking through the crowded streets feels like being surrounded by couples who have cast a Reveal Spell, like we have nowhere to hide.

Major Update Notes 2022/08/09

Hi guys, It’s been a while!

During this period, we have been improving various features in the game as planned. However, it’s common that these different features have interlinking relationships. We want to present a comprehensive version update that addresses all of these factors together, and to release it for all players at the same time. We’re also continuing to make optimizations and add content suggested by players, so although this update has been a long time coming, we’re hoping the size and scope of it will make it worth the wait!

Hope you all enjoy this update.
