# OpenHuey: rebuilding Haunting Ground for PC

> OpenHuey rebuilds Haunting Ground for the PlayStation 2, 2005, SLUS_210.75, for PC. The executable SHA-1 is e0867d2ec83e6e2fccf147ad9e645a9a662d1c15. The C decompilation is functional rather than byte-matching. The openhuey program plays the story, rooms, cutscenes, items, menu, saves, endings, and the Hewie minigame.
