Soft Source Publishing and New Delhi-based developer Wala Interactive have announced ghost hunting cooperative adventure game Spook-A-Boo for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch in 2026. A demo is available now for PC via Steam.
“Spook-A-Boo isn’t just about catching ghosts, it’s a love letter to the era of gaming when multiplayer meant plugging in a second controller (or three!) and crowding around the TV,” said Wala Interactive producer and co-founder Megha Gupta, in a press release. “This demo is closer to our final vision and a slice of what you can expect before the full game ships later in the year. We hope you have as much fun playing it as we had making it.”
Soft Source Publishing publishing director Sameer Pandit added, “After playing Spook-A-Boo and talking to the team behind it, we instinctively felt it was a right fit for Soft Source’s mission: to surface the best Asian games to the world. We can’t wait to share more in the lead up to launch.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Soft Source Publishing:
