Unwanted Guest Launches on Steam — Easewin Gaming's New First-Person Haunted Mansion Horror
Indie studio Easewin Gaming has released Unwanted Guest, a first-person escape horror game that traps players inside a haunted mansion with a ghost that refuses to let them leave. The title is out now on Steam for PC and is aimed squarely at fans of psychological horror, painting-based puzzles and slow-burn atmospheric dread.

A New Horror Game That Locks You Inside
Unwanted Guest is the kind of horror release that PC players have been asking for: a focused, single-player, first-person escape horror experience with a strong sense of place. There is no open world, no live service, no filler. There is a mansion, there is a ghost, and there is a locked front door.
Easewin Gaming built the game around three pillars that have defined the best haunted house horror games on Steam over the last decade — atmosphere, puzzles and threat. The mansion is quiet until it isn't. The paintings on the walls hold answers, and something is always one hallway behind you.
Gameplay Overview
At its core, Unwanted Guest is an escape horror loop. Every room is a small problem. Every hallway is a risk. The mansion is your prison and your puzzle box at the same time.
The core loop
- Explore the mansion room by room in first person.
- Inspect paintings for clues, symbols and hidden mechanisms.
- Solve environmental puzzles to unlock new wings of the house.
- Evade the ghost — hide, break line of sight, wait it out.
- Piece together the story through notes, objects and the art itself.
- Escape — if the mansion lets you.
Painting-based puzzles
The most distinctive design choice in Unwanted Guest is its use of painting-based puzzles. Portraits and landscapes scattered through the mansion aren't decoration — they're keys. Details in the brushwork, missing figures, changing frames and off-canvas clues drive the puzzle chain forward. Fans of Layers of Fear will recognise the reverence for painted horror; fans of Resident Evil-style item logic will feel right at home.
Story Overview (No Spoilers)
You arrive at the mansion as a guest who was never really invited. The house is old, the owners are long gone, and the doors close behind you with a finality that feels personal. Something has been waiting for a visitor for a very long time — and it is not interested in letting one leave.
As you move deeper into the estate, fragments of the family's history surface through paintings, journals and the mansion's own architecture. The story is told sideways, in the way the best psychological horror games always tell it: the truth is on the walls if you're brave enough to stop and look.

Inspiration From Classic Horror
Unwanted Guest stands on the shoulders of the horror giants. Its DNA is easy to trace for anyone who has spent a decade playing haunted house games.
- Layers of Fear — painting-driven psychological horror inside a single haunted structure.
- Visage — slow, oppressive dread and a house that changes when you're not looking.
- MADiSON — puzzle-forward first-person horror with a supernatural stalker.
- Amnesia: The Dark Descent — helplessness as a mechanic; hide, don't fight.
- Outlast — first-person tension when the monster is smarter than you.
- Resident Evil — mansion-as-puzzle-box design and layered item logic.
- Silent Hill — atmosphere, sound and psychological themes over jump scares.
Unwanted Guest doesn't try to be any of them. It borrows what works, drops what doesn't, and commits to being a modern haunted mansion horror game that respects its lineage.
