LazyFlock, an independent developer, has revealed Haunted Paws, a new cozy co-op horror title coming to both Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
The developer confirmed the project today but did not provide a release window.
An official trailer has been released alongside the announcement.
Overview and platform details
Haunted Paws is presented as a cooperative experience in which players control a pair of puppies who must navigate a haunted mansion to rescue their kidnapped human friend.
LazyFlock specifically lists Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 as target platforms.
The studio has not announced pricing, regional release dates, or an exact launch timetable.
For updates, players can monitor Nintendo Direct broadcasts or the Nintendo eShop for future listings.
Gameplay and features (journalistic paraphrase)
- Cooperative play: LazyFlock says players will be able to "invite a friend to join for free," allowing two players to team up without an additional purchase requirement for the second participant.
- Tone and interaction: The developer describes the experience as a mix of "cute and spooky" elements; in journalistic terms, Haunted Paws blends lighthearted puppy behaviors with classic horror exploration and puzzle-solving mechanics to create moments that are both eerie and emotionally resonant.
- Objectives: The core goal is to liberate the puppies' human companion from a haunted mansion, confronting supernatural creatures whose histories are tied to the game's narrative.
- Puppy mechanics and customization: Players will perform puppy-specific actions such as digging, sniffing, and barking.
LazyFlock also highlights extensive character customization, allowing players to choose breeds, tweak fur colors, add distinguishing features, and outfit their dog in accessories — including an option to design a dog that resembles a real-life pet.
Narrative and enemies
LazyFlock frames each antagonist as harboring a tragic backstory; defeating these foes reportedly reveals their pasts and leads toward resolving the mansion's mysteries.
That narrative angle positions Haunted Paws as a story-driven co-op title rather than a pure action horror experience.
Where to watch and next steps
An official trailer accompanies the announcement; interested readers should view it via the developer’s channels.
