Haunting Ground blog

blog description

I’ve been holding onto a draft since late 2021 (nearly 2 years!!) as I’m putting together a list of Haunting Ground facts. I want to crowdsource facts from you guys so I can post it someday! Feel free to write it in your tags/comment/whatever. Credit where credit’s due of course.

Some examples of what I’ve jotted down:

  1. You have three tries to solve the colored hallway puzzle before Lorenzo appears. If you take too long/enter a wrong door, Lorenzo exclaims: “Looks like you’ve gotten yourself lost, child.” Repeat your mistake and he says “I’m coming for you, Fiona.” and spawns in the next hallway.
  2. Two cutscenes will cause Fiona to panic if Hewie isn’t nearby - ‘Bite Attack C’ and 'Just Desserts’. This is not a coincidence but a game mechanic as Fiona calms down when Hewie is by her side.
  3. The grandfather clock/save point used to have a different design as seen in a promotional screencap.
  4. This design can actually be seen in the cutscene 'The Hidden Camera’. The screenshot of the old clock dates back to October 2004 when the game was still in development. The developers forgot to swap the design with the finished model in the final game.

Now that I have access to my YouTube channel again (YouTube) I did consider turning the list into a video instead which makes for those entertaining “101 facts about” videos. Would you prefer that or a Tumblr post? (or both)

While it’s currently in the works I’d love to expand upon the list. Care to help? ^^

Fiona Belli - Haunting Ground

somnimagus:

Digital fan art sketches of Fiona and Hewie from the horror game known as Haunting Ground or Demento. In the center Fiona hoists Hewie in her arms with a smile as he happily wags his tail and bends to lick her forehead. In the top left Fiona is saying "shake!" as she bends down and Hewie dutifully slaps his paw into her hand. In the bottom left Fiona has her hair down and looks to the left with a perturbed expression. In the top right a low detail Fiona is walking with Hewie as he wags his tail. She asks him "why are you so happy in the murder mansion??" In the bottom right a low detail, hysterical-looking Fiona tearfully pets Hewie as he wags his tail. They are hiding behind a box and Daniella can be seen retreating beyond them, trailing blood as she goes. With no punctuation Fiona says, "OH MY FUCKING GOD HEWIE WHAT YOU ARE SUCH GOOD BOY HOLY SHIT AAAAAA"ALT
