About Willo
Step into the spectral world of Willo, where every shadow hides a whisper and courage glows as dimly lit as a candle in a haunted graveyard. In this uniquely charming, hard-hitting indie stealth-action game, you become Willo—a pint-sized ghost tasked with reclaiming your graveyard playground from the mischievous Skelliwags. As you navigate candle-lit crypts and tombstones under the pale moonlight, you'll discover that outsmarting your ghoulish rivals demands more than just quick reflexes. Embrace the thrill of pure stealth as you tiptoe past floating eyeballs, blow out candles to conceal your ghostly glow, and use your signature 'woo' to send shivers down spines. With eight action-packed graveyards, each more challenging than the last, Willo serves up bite-sized spook-em-up fun inspired by classic metal gear stealth tactics, blending pixel art nostalgia with fast-paced, skill-based gameplay.
Master the art of silent movement, dodging occult pentagrams and lurking enemies with every step. Willo rewards creative play and risk-taking—can you speedrun each map, snag all eight platinum medals, and top the global leaderboards? The stylized graphics evoke a vintage Halloween cartoon, while tight keyboard and gamepad controls feel instantly intuitive yet demand true mastery. Each new graveyard becomes a dynamic playground of secrets, hidden paths, and collectible medals. Whether you're a hardcore stealth aficionado or a casual gamer looking for an atmospheric thrill, Willo delivers an experience that's as adorable as it is adrenaline-pumping. Forget jump scares—here, the real challenge is staying cool under pressure and turning the tables on your supernatural foes. Are you ready to haunt the haunted, outwit the wicked, and become the ultimate graveyard legend? Play Willo now and let your stealthy spirit shine!
How to Play
Jump right into the graveyard mayhem—Willo's objective is to sneak past Skelliwags and reclaim each haunted yard. Move your adorable ghost using either the D-Pad (gamepad) or arrow keys (keyboard); this tight, responsive control scheme makes it easy to dart between tombstones or pull off precision maneuvers. To stay hidden, sneak behind obstacles, blow out candles to obscure your glow, and avoid the ever-watchful eyeballs or shimmering pentagrams. When you see your moment, press the action key to unleash your 'woo'—a clever distraction to startle nearby foes, giving you a chance to slip by unnoticed.
Each level is filled with secrets: hidden alcoves, alternate paths, and time-based platinum medals. Complete your objectives quickly and stealthily to climb the MGS-style rankings. Beware—the AI is crafty! Enemies respond to both sound and sight, so pace yourself and plan every move. If you're spotted, all is not lost: master quick escapes, wait for patrols to pass, and never be afraid to try a new approach.
Beginner tip: Always scan the graveyard layout first and identify safe zones. Experiment with timing and routes, and remember—riskier plays can lead to higher rewards! Above all, have fun spooking your foes and outwitting every skeleton in your path.
