Play Yuureiyashiki no Nijuuyojikan Online

Yuureiyashiki no Nijuuyojikan (or The Haunted Mansion’s 24 Hours if you’re not feeling fancy) is one of those GBA horror games that somehow makes a tiny screen feel terrifying. You wake up in this creaky old mansion—no idea how you got there—and the clock’s already ticking. Literally. You’ve got one in-game day to figure out why the walls whisper and which doors definitely should not be opened.

It plays like a mix of old-school survival horror and a puzzle game, where every item you pick up might save your life or just waste precious minutes. The GBA’s limited hardware actually works in its favor—shadows stretch just enough to make you second-guess that hallway, and the sound design? Yeah, you’ll be playing with headphones and regretting it.

What I love is how it makes time your enemy without feeling unfair. Run around too much, and you’ll starve. Hesitate too long, and… well, let’s just say the ghosts aren’t waiting politely. If you miss when handheld games could actually scare you, this one’s still a knockout. Just maybe play it before bedtime if you enjoy nightmares.
