Apr 14, 2025Snooping through a family home in The Haunting of Joni Evers is a fairly routine gameplay experience, but it’s appropriately scary and surprisingly poignant as you wade through all the conflicting emotions of its eponymous lead character.

Feb 3, 2025I suppose that a very small child might be scared while playing The Haunting of Jodi Evers, but small children are the least likely to appreciate the game's unusually mature story. The result is a game that seems at odds with itself.

Oct 31, 2025This approach pays off in terms of fitting the narrative and atmosphere, but it does eventually become a bit dry. Gamers looking for fright-a-minute gameplay or hectic scares might be disappointed, but they’ll likely still be taken in by Joni Evers’ exploration of the past. A solid mystery that plays out better as a living novel than a full-blown horror game, The Haunting of Joni Evers is a solid narrative game that translates its slow-burn narrative to the gameplay, for better and for worse.
