After Animal Crossing’s explosion in popularity a couple years ago, I’m sure there are a lot of people looking forward to Jack O’ Lantern’s annual visit. He might not be too terribly terrifying upon first meeting him in Animal Crossing, but he does have a pumpkin for a head. In a game that almost exclusively…

Spooptober: Creepy Villagers in Animal Crossing
As most of us know, Animal Crossing is a cute and relaxing life sim where you decorate your cute little house, befriend cute animal villagers, buy cute clothes, and do all manner of other cute things. Being such a cute and adorable game, nothing ever weird or scary ever happens at all. For example, there…
Nope, nope, and more nope in Dreadhalls
Guys, I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to start playing Dreadhalls. I really don’t. But I can think of no better way to round out our #Spooktober celebration than with my story about this unique and scary VR game, which is at once unforgettable, and for me, unrepeatable. Way back in…
SCP: Containment Breach – A Unique Horror Experience
The horror genre is fairly sparse in the Duck’s household, so as I pondered the topic of my final Spooktober post, I had very few options available to me. It then occurred to me that I have never written about the spooky PC game, SCP: Containment Breach, a truly unique horror experience! So let’s rectify…
Your Horror Mileage May Vary in BioShock
When BioShock was first described to me way back when it was first released in 2007, the words “survival” and “horror” were emphasized. Me being the chicken that I am, I subsequently avoided the game for a very long time. As if the “horror” tag wasn’t enough, the fact that this game, or any game,…
Hunter: The Reckoning – A Proper Review This Time
Though I have talked about the first game in the Hunter: The Reckoning trilogy multiple times in the past…in some really old posts from 2013…that haven’t aged the best (please do not seek them out…), I have never given the game a proper, honest review. So without further ado, let’s discuss the Duck’s very first…
Outlast is Just Too Much
As much as I love spooky games, there’s a certain variety that I just can’t handle. These don’t just create a creepy atmosphere or build a feeling of dread like Silent Hill or Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem do. Nope, these games go straight for the throat with their scares, and it gets me every time….
Surviving Dread in DOOM II
BIGGER.
Top 5 FNAF Fan Games
One can’t really talk about horror games these days without being reminded of Five Nights at Freddy’s. Love it or hate it, it can’t be denied that this series has spawned an immense popularity, with an increasingly confusing lore, lots and lots of merchandise, and let’s not forget…fan games! While the Five Nights at insert…
The Quest to Finish Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem
Over the years, I’ve found that there are some games that I just cannot finish no matter how much I want to. Be it poor timing, lack of ability or just a plain ol’ lack of enthusiasm, I’m just not able to get these games done. One of these is the classic Gamecube horror title:…
