Evaluation
Handy Harry's Haunted House Services has been in Early Access since July 31, 2020 and has received consistent updates over the years, including three major content releases: the Beta 1.6 update in October 2021 (proximity voice chat, new enemy), the Career Update in June 2023 (20-level story mode, new ghost types), and the Beta 3.1 Anniversary update in July 2023 (bonus story with an exclusive ghost). The developer — a solo developer named Ben — has been transparent and communicative throughout development.
The most recent post, dated May 10, 2024, is a significant one: Ben explicitly stated that the game's 1.0 full release was coming "later this year" (i.e., later in 2024), that the upcoming launch update would be "the largest content update" in the game's history, and that a final release date announcement was coming "very soon." This represented a clear, public commitment to a 1.0 launch.
However, as of June 25, 2026 — more than two years after that post — there has been no follow-up announcement, no 1.0 release, and no further developer communication of any kind. The same May 2024 post also revealed Ben had been working on another game (Space Gourmet: Delivery) and "other secret projects," which may explain the delay, but no update or explanation has been provided to the community.
The game remains in Early Access with a major promised update outstanding and no developer communication since May 10, 2024. Anyone considering the game should be aware that the long-promised 1.0 launch has not materialized and the developer has been silent for over a year.
Evidence
Developer confirms this is the final beta update before the 1.0 full release, which is coming 'later this year.' Describes the upcoming launch update as the largest content update in the game's history and promises a release date announcement 'very soon.' Also notes they have been working on other projects (Space Gourmet: Delivery and unspecified others).
Last official developer communication as of June 25, 2026. The 1.0 release promised for 2024 has not been announced or delivered, and over two years have passed with no follow-up.

About this game
Handy Harry's Haunted House Services is a online multiplayer coop horror game with a retro look. You and up to 7 other players are tasked with performing some routine service work for a customer.
Explore randomly generated, labyrinthian and spine-chilling levels in search of burnt out fuse boxes, broken floorboards and leaky pipes. Find them, fix them and do it quickly before the ghost that haunts the darkness catches you. But don't worry, with your trusty friends at your back and your (admittedly mediocre) flashlight by your side you'll be able to get the job done because here at Handy Harry's House Services we always get the job done, no matter the odds, and you better get it done otherwise you'll certainly meet a fate worse than death.
