Fuzzy Ghost has announced that Janet DeMornay Is A Slumlord (and a Witch) will launch in 2026 for PlayStation 5, joining the already confirmed PC and Mac versions.
This chaotic escape room horror comedy brings fixed camera tension, queer storytelling and supernatural landlord drama together in one gloriously unhinged package.
Welcome to the Worst Rental of Your Life
The developers describe the game as a filthy, puzzle filled nightmare where your landlord expects full payment, even though the house itself is a labyrinth of cursed appliances and deranged magical traps.
You will sift through the unhinged diaries of a washed up TV diva while trying to escape a dilapidated Sydney villa that Fuzzy Ghost themselves once rented.
Classic Survival Horror Energy With a Comedy Twist
Built with a fixed camera style reminiscent of Resident Evil 2, the game blends:
- Escape room puzzles
- Comedy horror tone
- A surreal, lived in environment
- A narrative about queer community and abusive landlords
The result is a bizarre but timely story inspired by Beetlejuice, Poltergeist and the golden age of campy supernatural cinema.
A Story About Power, Family and Fabulous Chaos
Behind the jokes and jump scares lies a narrative about chosen family, queer resilience and the absurd power landlords hold over tenants.
Janet DeMornay herself is a slumlord, a witch and a fading television icon whose influence warps the entire house into a magical deathtrap.
A Horror Comedy With Heart
Expect a mix of:
- Puzzle solving under pressure
- Strange magical contraptions
- A house that feels alive
- Characters who are messy, funny and painfully relatable
It is a horror game that wants you to laugh, scream and maybe rethink your rental agreement.
