Frequently Asked Questions
What is Haunted Paws?
Haunted Paws is a cozy co-op horror adventure from LazyFlock, a two-person studio based in Kaunas, Lithuania. Two puppies venture into a haunted mansion to rescue their kidnapped human best friend. You dig, sniff, bark and solve puzzles together, and every sinister creature you defeat is freed from a tragic past rather than simply destroyed.
When does Haunted Paws release?
There is no release date yet - LazyFlock lists the game as TBA. The free demo has been live on Steam since October 8, 2026, and the game appeared at the Triple-i Initiative showcase. Wishlist on Steam to be notified the moment the date is announced.
Is Haunted Paws on Game Pass?
No. Haunted Paws has not been announced for Xbox Game Pass. It is a self-published title from LazyFlock confirmed for PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, with PlayStation and Xbox versions announced. The Friend's Pass - where only one player needs to buy the game - is the closest thing to a bring-a-friend-free deal.
Is Haunted Paws multiplayer or co-op?
Yes, it is a two-player co-op game with both local split-screen and online co-op. Thanks to the Friend's Pass, only one player needs to own the game - the second puppy joins for free. Remote Play Together is also supported.
