Indie Games

It's Halloween, so that means it's both the peak and the end of Spooky Season, so today I'm going to highlight a couple neat spooky games that are currently on sale and worth your time.

October has been a pretty fruitful month for new Indie games with titles like Dispatch, RV There Yet?

The light crackling of a fire, far off chimes which shift closer and further, slightly left and then right channel in your headphones, and the quiet whispering in Italian that feels like it's murmuring between your shoulderblades -- you know a horror game has the juice when you get full body frisson chills just from the sound design in the main menu.

Epic Games Store is giving away Amnesia: The Bunker, the most recent game in the iconic horror series by Frictional Games, for free.

As we go through Spooky Season and a bunch of horror video games, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow was an instant favorite for how it played with tropes that were common to literature, especially gothic horror conventions.

I am a huge fan of all things horror, from brooding and creepy to extreme gore that borders on parody, but sometimes during Halloween month, you have to ease your way in to the creepy vibe with positive self-talk and a little cognitive behavioral therapy.

We've been all in on Fat Bear Week for the past few weeks, while also been looking through our Steam wishlists for indie gems to buy on the cheap during the Steam Autumn Sale which just kicked off, and one game we love that fits neatly into the center portion of that venn diagram is Bear and Breakfast.

Steam NextFest was hot on the heels of Summer Game Fest, so there were plenty of new game demos to try out over the past few weeks.

The idea of the summer beach read and the song of the summer is an established one in pop culture, so we figured -- why not summer gaming picks?

Somehow, we've managed to come to another Friday (it was just Monday I do not understand what happened), and while this week was a little on the slimmer side of large AAA game releases, let's talk games.
