Rule of rose 23/10/2023 (Think Pathologic 2, not the Demon’s Souls remake). ![]() It was really exceptional! The game was developed by a Korean studio, who are revisiting a game they made back in 2001 by the same name. You can tell what specific games were on the console! I mean, maybe they got permission, but it struck me as a brash choice!Īnyways, yesterday I completed the 2015 remake of White Day: a Labyrinth Named School. It’s not the best game I’ve played this Spooktober, but I’m glad I played it!Īlso, Than Trung has a fully modeled PS5, with the logo and everything! It’s connected to a TV with an only slightly blurred screenshot of the PS5 UI. The game does find a groove though! The meat of the experience has fewer jump scares and more creepy little puzzles. It may have been better served by ratcheting up the dread slowly, and then paying it off with one big jump scare. ![]() The opening sequence has you walking up and down a hall over and over, with very little interaction, and jump scares galore, as a way to show you how bad the haunting you will be resolving is. The jump scares come at you pretty frequently early on, and the returns diminish pretty quickly. It was good! It feels very inspired by PT, as it has you walking through the same small area to complete tasks, while little events and jump scares happen. I’ve played another couple of spooky games for this, the spookiest of months! Earlier last week I finished Than Trung, a Vietnamese horror game I found going through my Steam discovery queue. So much more to check out, and so little October left! Pretty sets for the most part and some good acting, but its a dull “people talking in rooms” movie that really doesn’t pay off. Isle of the Dead from 1945 stars Boris Karloff and is definitely a low budget studio affair. Fascination is pretty decent, it’s super horny but the horror elements are pretty weak. Michael Mann’s The Keep is something, great visuals, but what a convoluted and kind of dull horror movie. There’s also a vampire movie and an 80s horror movie playlist that are really fun, even if what I’ve watched of those are not the best. The Criterion Channel has a bunch of Spooky Halloween film runs happening now, even the Universal monster movies! I watched the 1931 Dracula (classic) and The Black Cat so far, and of course highly recommend both. Circle of the Moon is just a solid metroidvania game. I’ve never been able to beat Castlevania 1 or 3 but I always have fun hopping into those games. I also have Castlevania, Castlevania 3, and Circle of the Moon in rotation on the Wii U as well. Other than that I fired up Zombi U on my Wii U and while only under 2 hours in I think I’m really enjoying it. ![]() It’s not a bad game and I always have fun play sessions, but its repetitiveness can really wear thin. ![]() Well, I started the month playing a lot of State of Decay 2, i seem to come back to it every October, have a blast for a few days and then grow incredibly bored with it. Especially when one of them is always conveniently the person who has to run back to the truck for just one more thing. On the games side of things, I am hoping to check out the new Phasmophobia maps/updates because that game is still a blast when you play with a close group of friends. It is an adaptation of a Gogol short story and is a blast of a time imo, at least for something produced in 1967. The other stand out so far is Viy which is the first (and likely only) horror movie produced in the Soviet Union. Impetigore is a very different movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed it especially given that it has multiple plot points that revolve around shadow puppetry/gamelan music. I was familiar with Joko Anwar’s name because my partner and I watched Gundala last year on a whim and it was a fun time, mostly for having actually well shot fight sequences. The lists are always hit or miss due to trying to keep with the theme, but there’s definitely been some stand outs this year. I haven’t been fully keeping up but i have the next few days off work so I’m hoping to catch up. Haven’t been playing much of anything, but my friends and I have consistently done a themed list the past few Octobers and this year’s is folk horror.
