October is here and I’m planning to use this month as an excuse to go through some of the spookier games from my backlog. You’re invited to play along with me!
1. Doki Doki Literature Club (Plus edition)
How Long to Beat: 4 to 8 hours
You play as the main character, who reluctantly joins the Literature Club in search of a romantic interest. With every poem you write and every choice you make, you’ll charm your crush and begin to unfold the horrors of school romance. Do you have what it takes to crack the code of dating sims and get the perfect ending?
Available for: Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, mobile.
2. Bloomtown: A Different Story
How Long to Beat: 16 to 20 hours
Bloomtown: A Different Story is a narrative JRPG mixing turn-based combat, monster taming and social RPG set in a seemingly pleasant 1960s Americana world. Join Emily and her group of friends to save their cozy town from the demonic creatures that live in the hearts of its residents!
Available for: Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, mobile.
3. Slay the Princess (The pristine cut edition)
How Long to Beat: 3,5 to 5,5 hours
You’re on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.
You’re here to slay her. If you don’t, it will be the end of the world.
She will do everything in her power to stop you. She’ll charm, and she’ll lie, and she’ll promise you the world, and if you let her, she’ll kill you a dozen times over. You can’t let that happen.
You **do** care about the fate of the world, right?
Available for: Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series.
4. This Bed We Made
How Long to Beat: 4,5 – 5,5 hours
This Bed We Made is a third-person mystery game in which you play as a maid in a 1950s hotel and snoop around strangers’ rooms to uncover their deadly secrets. Discover what links guests together in this tale of love, heartbreak and murder!
Available for: PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series.
Maybe I’m being too optimistic thinking I can play all of these games this month amidst so many new releases, but I’m assuming Bloomtown will probably run into next month, which is ok.
Will you play any of these along with me?
