Master the Art of Fear
A Professional Haunter RPG Experience
You're not battling dragons. You're managing a panicked crowd on opening night. You're reading a heckler's energy before they ruin the show. You're making split-second calls when someone crosses the line. ScareShift puts you behind the screams... where real performance, safety, and the art of fear collide.
Create your unique haunter persona. Choose your specialty, develop your signature scares, and build a reputation that sends shivers through the night.
Face authentic haunt situations from opening night jitters to emergency protocols. Your choices matter - every decision impacts guests, your team, and your career.
Master five core stats through experience. Build your Fear craft, Presence, perfect your Timing, enhance Agility, and develop the Endurance for those brutal October nights.
Each shift brings three waves of escalating challenge. Start with eager first-timers, face the tough crowds, and handle the chaos when things go sideways.
Coordinate with fellow haunters, support your crew during emergencies, and learn when to call for backup. Great scares are built on great teamwork.
Earn XP, unlock achievements, and prove yourself worthy of the most challenging roles. From rookie to legend - your journey awaits.
Build a character based on how you scare and not fantasy tropes, but real performance traits and specialties.
Navigate guest behavior, crowd flow, emergencies, and pressure using choice-driven gameplay.
Earn XP, unlock abilities, and refine your style across shifts, events, or full campaigns.
October ends. The haunt shuts down. But the craft doesn't have to stop. ScareShift lets you step into character, face scenarios, and sharpen your skills during the off-season keeping your edge year-round.
Whether you're a professional keeping sharp between seasons, a fan exploring what it takes, or a trainer looking for discussion scenarios. ScareShift meets you where you are. It's a game for everyone, but a tool for many.
These stats reflect real skills haunt actors develop on the job and not fantasy power levels.
