A fierce ghost is coming! The corridor is in great danger.Everyone could be hunted. The only way to survive is to hide in the room behind the door. Maybe you're wondering what the hell is this? This is a tower defense and escape game. Do you want to challenge yourself? Want to release your stress? Whatever you want, I can help you get it, as long as you lie down on a bed. Back to the topic, this is a horror-style tower defense and escape game. In the game, players need to escape the pursuit of ghosts and find a suitable dormitory to survive in. Build and upgrade turrets and fend off evil spirits. In the game, players can only build facilities on the empty floor in the room. After the empty floor is clicked on, the building menu will pop up. In the game, players need to selectively build facilities according to their own economic status, so as to expand their advantages step by step. If the player defeats the ghost, you won the game, and if the player is eliminated by the ghost, you lost the game. Our Facebook fanpage: https://www.facebook.com/haunteddorm/ Words from the developer Hunted Dorm is now online! I'm glad to be here to talk to you players. We're working on the next version, and we'll give priority to the online multiplayer mode, so you'll be able to experience the fun of fighting with others soon. More interesting buildings and modes of play will also be unlocked. If you have any good ideas and suggestions, please leave them in the comments section!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Haunted Dorm at none against Roblox's 16. Haunted Dorm also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Roblox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20M vs 1.2K). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
