The Haunt early access breakdown
Axbury Manor
The Roblox Halloween event, The Haunt, takes place within the eerie confines of Axbury Manor. Here is the manor's official description:
"A red moon rises over the mansion as the Horseman's curse begins its expansion. Be ready to tread where shadows creep, where danger runs both wide and deep."
The Butler:
As mentioned before, he is the only NPC found in The Haunt's early access. You can find him in front of the manor's door. Walk near him and press "E" to prompt the "The party hasn't started yet." dialogue.
Restrictions:
You cannot leave the manor since both porch entrance gates are tightly shut. Scavenging behind the manor is restricted by an invisible wall. As a result, only the garden area near the entrance and the stairs leading to the manor's large wooden door are accessible in the early access.
