Each section of the game tasks the player with navigating a haunted environment with nothing but a flashlight. The player must ensure that the flashlight's battery power lasts, or the game will end. However, the player must also be on the look out for and elude ghosts. Additionally, a second player can trigger jump scares through the use of a second Wii Remote.
