"Putting yourself in the literal shoes of a hero in the most bone-chilling of situations can rock you to your core in a way film, TV, and books can't always do. Whether you're looking for bloody gauntlets through cultish villages, a psychological trip through eerie and otherworldly dimensions, or just a charming celebration of the spooky holiday itself, gaming has something for everyone."
"This underrated and often overlooked game from Double Fine Productions ( Psychonauts, Grim Fandango) is one of the few examples of a perfect Halloween game that won't keep you awake at night. The game follows a pair of fraternal twins who've just moved to a new neighborhood. On Halloween night, one of them is kidnapped by a mysterious monster, leaving the other to track down their whereabouts."
Video games create uniquely immersive Halloween experiences by putting players directly into frightening or festive scenarios that other media sometimes cannot replicate. Gaming covers a broad range of tones, from bloody, cultish village adventures and psychological trips into otherworldly dimensions to charming, family-friendly holiday celebrations. Costume Quest presents a lighthearted turn-based RPG where fraternal twins and fellow trick-or-treaters use costume-based abilities to rescue a kidnapped sibling, combining adorable art and humorous writing. Mouthwashing delivers unsettling 2024 psychological horror by shifting perspectives between two crew members aboard a derelict freighter, tracing a doomed five-person crew’s final moments.
