Mystiques is a haunted antiquing game about four chaotic women who turn to psychic powers to save their failing shop. Inspired by the quirky antique stores in the Blue Mountains and internet-famous grifters like Anna Delvey and Elizabeth Holmes, Mystiques is both a whimsical paranormal adventure and a girlcore inventory game.
To keep the store alive, players rummage through the belongings of the recently deceased, bargaining with spirits to find the most valuable relics to sell. Lemonade Games’ debut mixes spooky adventure with vintage flair, echoing films like Suspiria (1977) and Jennifer’s Body (2009). It’s about making money, dealing with ghosts, and maybe texting your ex (though probably not a great idea).
Mystiques is supported by Screen Australia and is currently under development.
