I’m not normally one for themed, seasonal gaming… but Halloween seems to lend itself particularly well to playing a particular type of game.

So what are you playing this spooky season?

This year, I’m playing through Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (DS version, via the Retroid Pocket 2S). It’s not the spookiest entry in the series, but has enough creepy castle exploration to fit the bill.

    Cool idea.

    Sometimes around Halloween I’ll play through silent hill. I might do it again this year.

    There’s a nightmare on elm street game for nes, and a Friday the 13th as well, iirc. Those might be fun to play.

    Edit:

    Majora’s mask would be a good one

    There are a couple of really cool Metroid Zero Mission rom hacks called Metroid Spooky mission and Metroid Spooky Mission 2 which are high quality and fun to play on the GBA.

    I also picked up the Resident Evil bundle earlier this year that I should fire up. RE4 is my jam.

    Luigi’s Mansion has both that fun and spooky ambiance, pretty short game also, perfect to play just for a few evening

    I’d like to be in the mood to play Halloween games, but with this shitty weather I just can’t.

    Gf is playing Animal Crossing on Switch though.

      It’s considered by many, myself included, to be one of the best horror games ever made. The fact that a sequel or even a remastered version has never been made is incredibly disappointing.

      Yes, very unique survival horror game. You play as people from different points of history and one of my favorite moments is when a character in 1485 in a church in France has a hallucination with hospice tents from World War I, which you later see again when you play as a different character in the same church in 1916.
