31 Days of Spooks: Day 8 - Nocturnal Visit

Image
       https://moi0210.itch.io/nocturnal-visit Hey all! Thanks for joining me for day 8 of 31 Days of Spooks! Today we're going over the free to play game, available on itch.io, Nocturnal Visit. This game is super short, but super fun and creepy. Using PS1 style graphics, this game is already one I recommend if you're looking for a quick time killer that is fun and spooky! In Nocturnal Visit, you play as an adventure blogger, who is looking for the next big blog post. You come across an article about an abandoned house that was previously inhabited by multiple serial killers over the years. It's settled, that's where you're going to go. You head out to the house with your flashlight, camera, and adventurous spirit in tow. Unable to enter the front door, you have to find another way in, and once you do so, strange things start to happen. You hear strange noises as you explore the home and creep around every corner, unsure of what the next room may hold. I can't g

31 Days of Spooks: Days 5, 6, & 7

 I'm sorry for the multiple days combined. Like I said before, this month is full of lots of chaos and changes, but I will hit 31 days, they may just not be separate. Thanks for understanding! Alright, so I was excited to play this game. It looked really spooky and kinda reminded me of analog horror. However, my hopes and dreams for what this game would be were dashed when they brought in the blob.....Well, this blob was apparently voiced by Ash-Plays, and oh my gosh, it ended up being awful. It went from a game that spooked me a little bit, to a game that I couldn't wait to end. There is an epilepsy warning given, and rightfully so. I ended up walk inga way from this game with a pounding headache. I'll like the game below, but take my advice... skip this one! https://linsonlime.itch.io/antipathy That Night in the Rain is a very short horror point and click, with absolutely adorable graphics. You play as a little girl who is supposed to wait in her parent's car while th

31 Days of Spooks: Day 4 - Please Answer Carefully

Image
  Hey guys! Welcome to day 4 of our 31 Days of Spooks! Today's game is a short horror survey game called Please Answer Carefully. It was a short, simple, and yet creepy game made in 24 hours. The front screen says that it takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete, but it's closer to 5 minutes or less. I think my playthrough took about 4 minutes, but I also read pretty fast.  The game does come with a content warning about being themed around a stalker. Rather than jump scares, this game uses audio to unsettle the players. Personally, I think that audio scares are creepier than jump scares. There's just something about the way that the audio hits. It's unsettling, and unnerving to say the least. Speaking of spooks, this game also uses forced typing. If you don't know, forced typing is when the game allows you to type, but the text it wants is already programmed into it. For example, this game asked me to tell them I miss them, I tried to type no, but it changed the text to w

31 Days of Spooks: Day 2 & 3 - Torchure & Come to Jesus

Image
 Sorry for missing yesterday's post, I had a severe migraine and was unable to complete the post. However, that means you get two today! The first one is a game titled Torchure. Enjoy! Torchure Torchure is a first person dungeon game on itch.io, made for the Wowie Jam 3.0 in 2021. In this game your goal is to find a crystal skull. Easy, right? NOPE! This game was so frustrating! I enjoyed it, but it was frustrating. There were no instructions on how to play the game, which I thought was odd, but it's straightforward enough that you don't really have to worry much about it. The game is very dark, and not in the themes. This game is literally almost pitch black, with the exception of the lantern your character carries. However, the game slowly gets more lit up, but only when your character dies... and it's very easy to die. Each time your character dies, the spot where they died is marked with a skeleton, but also the lantern they had been carrying. This leads to more and

31 Days of Spooks - Day 1: Old Girl

https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/555580 Hey guys! Sorry for the long hiatus. Things have been crazy with wedding planning and moving and everything. However, I figured out a great way to give you guys content and game while dealing with the changes of life! Welcome to day 1 of spooks, a month long event where I review a different horror game every day for you guys. It could be mobile, steam, epic, browser, etc. These reviews will still be relatively short, and if I can provide a link to them I will. Today's game is titled Old Girl. I'm not quite sure why the game is called Old Girl, but nevertheless, it made for a nice time killer. Available on Newgrounds, this point-and-click game follows an unnamed protagonist who is in search for their girlfriend Jane. You arrive at a creepy bus stop and have to walk to the nearby town that your girlfriend was last seen in. You run into some pretty creepy characters (who have amazing voice acting that's kinda creepy) who may or may

Update

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posts this past month. There's been a lot of life changes that I'll explain below. No more PC So my PC completely died, like wouldn't charge or anything. Dead, no hope. That's what the professional I took it to said. Thankfully he was able to pull my drive to save all my files and photos, which was my biggest concern. I'm working on finding a new one, but I'm not sure when that will be. Until then, I will be using my Switch and discovering some awesome mobile games! Surgery   So about two weeks ago I had to get carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist. Unfortunately, I'm right handed. Basically, Carpal tunnel surgery, also known as carpal tunnel release, is a procedure that relieves pressure on the median nerve by cutting through the carpal ligament to make more space for the tendons. Due to this surgery, I have to be off for 6 weeks from work. My strength and grip is not very good, due to the procedure and it hurts to over

Times Gamers Passed Unexpectedly

    So in my last post, I talked about horrible crimes associated with video games. Well, I've decided to explore the other dark side of that; unexpected deaths. This post will mostly be focusing on untimely deaths of beloved gamers, due to video games. I will only be covering a small handful of these cases, but you can easily find other cases online. Again, a trigger warning is in place for this post, as it still contains content that some readers may find distressing. Also, if you read any, read Calvin Riley's case. You may just be able to help bring an unknown killer to justice. Hsieh     Hsieh, his surname, was a 32 year old gamer from Taiwan. He lived in the second largest city, Kaohsiung. He spent much of his time at internet cafes, and his family stated that he often would disappear for 2-3 days to spend time at these cafes, as he was unemployed and felt this was the only place he could go. Unfortunately, in 2015, a staff member at the cafĂ© found Hsieh motionless, at one
