Polterguy
The protagonist and ghost of a man killed through Vic DeWitt’s business dealings. He possesses objects to frighten the DeWitt family.
How it plays
How does Haunting Starring Polterguy play?
Polterguy explores rooms from an overhead perspective and searches for objects that can be possessed. Each object produces a different scare animation, and the player must use these effects to frighten the DeWitt family out of the current house.
The family moves between houses as the haunting progresses. When Polterguy exhausts the available objects, he must navigate a sewer-like transition area and find a route into another property. Progress depends on discovering usable objects and managing the limited opportunities in each location.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Haunting Starring Polterguy?
Search every room carefully before activating objects. Some scares are more effective than others, so avoid wasting useful possessions when the family is not positioned to react.
Learn the layout of each house and watch the family’s movement. If progress stalls, revisit rooms and look for an overlooked object or a path through the transition area.

The game’s humor and grotesque animations are central to its appeal, but the repeated house structure can feel repetitive.
