Haunt, announced way back in 2010, will be out on XBLA on 18th January. The game was initially planned for release in 2011 but who can get angry at Nanaon-Sha for delaying it when the download price is only 800 Microsoft Points ($10).

The game’s description on Xbox Marketplace states:

Welcome to Benjy’s Mansion – a spooky haunted house where you are the first visitor for a generation! Haunt leverages the power of Kinect to enable you to freely explore the house using just your body as the controller – you’ll need to stay on your toes in order to outsmart the mansion’s host of fiendish ghosts and unravel the sinister secrets that shroud the mansion in mystery!

Haunt is a horror kind of game, though when Destructoid demoed it at TGS 2011, back in September, they called it “more cute and silly than anything”. We shall see which one it is in less than a week!
