I'm the type of person who puts their Halloween decorations out a month too early, and a good season of spooky games only makes me more irritatingly festive. I'm not sure I'll even finish last month's Silent Hill before October's new games calendar of horrors kicks off, but I'm absolutely delighted by the handful of indies and bigger releases giving me the heebie-jeebies.
Little Nightmares 3 is first on that list, and I'm excited to finally drag one of my scaredy cat friends through the ordeal after nail-biting my way alone through the first—they're misleadingly cute, then escalate into terrifying stealth and chase sequences. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is my most anticipated of the bunch, but probably for reasons far more shallow than my (mostly) tasteful colleagues. I simply find the blood-guzzling monsters to be quite smoochable, and while it won't have traditional RPG romances, Bloodlines 2 will have, uh, "romantic feeding," whatever the hell that means. Sign me up.
