Making modern games in a retro style has become rather common practice lately. A major trend I’ve noticed lately are PS1-style horror games. Perhaps those grainy graphics just lend well to a spooky atmosphere in the same fashion as creepy VHS-style videos. Wanting to try one of these games for myself, I was pleased to…

FNAF 1-4: A Comparison
For the longest time, the only original Scott Cawthon-created Five Nights at Freddy’s games I owned were the first two. This was largely due to the fact that these games were originally only available on the PC, and I’m more of a console gamer. Nevertheless, I still tried the first two games for myself, then…
The Horror That Surrounds: The Eye of the Universe
When I decided to write about Outer Wilds, it was hard to narrow down the exact location I wanted to cover. Let’s see, we’ve got a planet being torn apart from the inside by a black hole, an ocean planet covered in tornadoes, and a bizarre place where the fabric of space itself doesn’t work…
The Horror That Surrounds: Mouldwood Depths
I’ve heard it said, “I’m not afraid of the darkness, I’m just afraid of what’s in it”. This statement rings true 99% of the time. Darkness typically hides all sorts of sneaky things that like to slither and skitter about unseen. But the darkness itself…it can’t actually hurt you, right? Right? Well, in Ori and…
The Horror That Surrounds: The Dunes
With so many horror games revolving around abandoned buildings, spooky woods, and loads of dead things, it’s really refreshing when a horror game comes along that forgoes all of that. Okay, okay, today’s subject is not technically a horror game, and yet I still find it to be a good deal more terrifying than most…
The Horror That Surrounds: The Abyss
Hollow Knight is a challenging Metroidvania about a bug who travels to the dead kingdom of Hallownest, which has been ravaged by a terrible infection, leaving very few inhabitants alive and sane. This game is no stranger to dark things, and sometimes it veers off into outright horror. This is especially apparent in two locations…
My Dad Becomes a Rabbit in FNAF: Into the Pit
Last week, I shared my rather…interesting experience with FNAF: Into the Pit, in which I explained how I may or may not have accidentally downloaded a version of the game not intended to be seen by the public… Long story short, I was unable to complete the game due to a glitch in night 4…
I Accidentally Downloaded the Developer Version of FNAF: Into the Pit
Two months ago, I wrote a post concerning the newest trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit, the first official FNAF game to bring one of the books to life in video game form. It was all meant to be a part of the FNAF 10-year anniversary, an 8-day event that culminated in…
In Defense of Security Breach
If you’ve been following the Five Nights at Freddy’s fandom in recent years, you’ll be more than familiar with a rather divisive entry in the series called Security Breach. Developed by Steel Wool Studios, this game suffered from multiple delays before its eventual release in December of 2021. And even then, it was definitely not…
Dredge’s Pale Reach DLC is Fun, But My Excitement Thawed by the End
Having now gotten 100% in the eerie world of Dredge, I was eager to do more with my speedy, fully-upgraded boat and the huge wads of cash I had accumulated over the course of my adventure. Fortunately, Dredge has some DLC in the form of the $5.99 Pale Reach expansion, which adds a large icy…
