Description

Some houses aren’t just homes. They’re shaped by the experiences of their inhabitants, both good and bad. Through love and anger, happiness and despair, some houses become… more.

The Cunningham House, formerly home to generations of the family, is one such house, and something is very wrong inside. With most of her family having abandoned the charming home in small-town Oklahoma, Joni Evers must face her legacy, and she is not alone.

Step into Joni’s shoes and explore the massive mansion, experiencing an emotional tale steeped in the dark supernatural. Delve into the long forgotten corners of the family home, uncover the secrets of Joni’s broken family, and learn what (or who) lingers in the shadows.

  • Face the Inexplicable — There’s something off in the Cunningham House. A strange energy crackles in the air. Maybe it’s something harmless. Maybe it’s not. Joni must confront otherworldly forces and use them to her advantage before they can be used against her.

  • Unravel the Mystery — What truly haunts Joni Evers? Is it the force that occupies the mansion? Or have the regrets and sorrows of the past somehow taken shape and life of their own? Perhaps both? Find out the truth as you delve deeper into the past, exploring Joni’s memories.

  • Experience a Personal Story — Joni and her family have fractured, but is the damage beyond repair? Joni’s encounter with the unexplained will force her to confront painful memories and strained relationships. Will the experience help her heal the wounds or simply widen the divide?.

  • Explore the Cunningham House — This vast, old, family home is full of hidden secrets and family histories. Find them to discover what drove Joni and her family apart. Confront the past to survive the night.

  • Award-Winning Voice Acting— Joni Evers is brought to life by Kelly Pekar, a celebrated stage and voice actress, described as a “singular presence” for her role in the 2023 Baskerville. Her work in The Haunting of Joni Evers earned her a 2025 Collision Gold Award for Voice Performance..

  • Original Soundtrack — Pekar’s performance is backed by a soundtrack composed by Gustavo Coutinho, known for his work on PAYDAY 3 and Reaching for Petals.

Gone Home with a spooky twist. I found the story dull and nothing original about it, just boring family drama along with some cheap jump scares. Nothing is really explained, everything just appears but it’s really up to

The reviews that are most valuable to any individual player probably have more to do whether you share an interest in the same type of games, so I’ll start with the type of gamer that I am. I love story-rich games,

The Haunting of Joni Evers is a lovely, short, and slightly spooky experience that leans heavily on the emotional story of a broken home. It’s not a horror game in the traditional sense, it’s more of a haunting in an
