The answer to what horror game is next is Viviette! Played through it twice tonight. First getting the Very Bad ending and then speed ran for the Good ending!

What a cool, atmospheric and genuinely tense SNES style horror gem. Tricky puzzles too! DYA Games is a very talented studio!

I managed to beat Night Manor only getting stuck enough to look up solutions twice. Not bad!

What a great game though and an amazing part of UFO50. Now what's next... Corpse Party? Viviette? Mouthwashing?

My two favorite Robot Masters also happen to both fit the October vibe! Skull Man and Knight Man from Mega Man 4 and 6 respectively!

Well crap, Night Manor is way spookier than I thought it'd be! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Having to run and hide from the maniac is stressful and so well done.

Okay hell yeah next up on the spooky games list is Night Manor from UFO50 ๐Ÿ›ธ

I'm a huge Shadowgate/Uninvited fan so I've been dying to play this!

Cadash is so cool, I played it on the TG16 and I'd like to give it a spin on other platforms

Capcom took the NES places we could only dream of! Amazing development from them back in the day. I love the colors in this game and Firebrand's animations are so cute!

I was just talking with my brother about this game last weekend! I've never played Gargoyle's Quest II, but I love the first one! Also curious to try out the Japan only GameBoy version of it

Oh man yes! I've been trying to remember the name of this game for such a long time. I saw a trailer for it ages ago and totally blanked on the title

Settled on some Ghouls 'n Ghosts for my first spooky game of the season. This Beelzebub boss is so badass!
