First spotted by Alpha Beta Gamer (opens in new tab)<\/span>, independent developer Sebastian “aare” Laitila stumbled on a novel idea during the 2022 Haunted PS1 Halloween Game Jam (opens in new tab)<\/span>: the classic desktop time waster Minesweeper, but zoomed into a first person perspective and gussied up with low-fi 3D graphics and a gothic vampire horror theme.<\/p>\n

The Infernal Masquerade (opens in new tab)<\/span>, which is available for free on itch.io, casts you as a vampire hunter in a 19th century masquerade ball. Instead of uncovering tiles and planting flags on probable mines, you pull the masks of human guests while pinning roses on suspected vampires, with helpful guests announcing how many vampires they’re standing near.<\/p>\n
