- The banner that illustrates the article says something to the most cinephilic of you? This is normal, it is one of the subliminal images that punctuate the terrifying Exorcist William Friedkin. If you've never seen him before, I strongly recommend him. On the other hand, avoid viewing it by eating pea purée, a friendly advice you will understand by looking at it...
- Recommended material: a good helmet screwed on the ears, in the dark and at night (and with a stout at hand)
Autumn is here! It's just about my favorite season. If most of my loved ones are desolated at the end of the summer, I must say that I rejoice. The moist heat, the insomnia, the bad smells in public transport, the rays of the sun that burn us the skin: it goes well a few months. Is there, frankly, little happiness in everyday life more visceral than in walking alone in a quiet alley, enjoying the fresh wind that caresses our ears as we sweep the dead leaves at each step? It is during these little walks that I let myself go to my imagination, sometimes briefly interrupted by the sharp scream of an obese squirrel surprised as he buried a chestnut.
You don't care about my mood? It is true that the title of the article makes no mention of my diary. What if I told you I had a transition? Well yes, which says autumn says Halloween and which says reminisence of His hand Says to scare yourself by playing horror games. From time to time I like going for a ride on itch.io To get some UFOs I couldn't play anywhere else. Please find below my personal selection of seven horrific experiences, all of which can be terminated between 15 and 40 minutes to break everything. Most are the result of the hard work of solo developers who do not yet have the financial support of a publisher. The following selection is approved by the Midnight Society.
Babysitter Bloodbath
Developer: Puppet Combo - Full game
Babysitter Bloodbath has a catchy name and be assured that the label does not try to burden you with the merchandise! It is one of the first games of the independent developer Puppet Combo, who has since created his own publishing label gently named Torture Star Video. That big fan of slashers and others gialli (a) giallo, gialli, an oisal, birds) had started in 2013 with this title, tribute to the Halloween John Carpenter. Sarah is the guardian of little Billy whose parents are out. Obviously the evening will soon degenerate and the girl will be the prey of the assaults of Neokalus Burr, a total psychopath who has turned his murderer on the teenager. With its atmosphere of slasher successful and thanks to the random AI of the killer who surveys the building a bit at random as would the xenomorph ofAlien insulation, to say that we often startle and that death is quite expeditious. Luckily the game ends just fast enough not to frustrate us and leaves us with the pleasant sensation of having played an independent and kindly immature version of Big John's masterpiece. They will be advised to play by choosing the third person view rather than the fixed screen view, the latter being not completed. Let's have a guaranteed chill and scream!
Earl's Day Off
Developers : Airdorf & Torple Dook - Demo
Earl has a problem. He got cooked the day before and lost his ring during his ethyl diversion. Oh and the ring is probably nestled in the big intestine of a carp! The hangover program announces loaded for our friend who decides to go looking for sesame, worried that his wife will not discover the rose pot. Qualified by its 3D fishing horror game creators, this prototype was created during a fishing horror jam and graphically reminds us of the most beautiful hours of the N64. Fishing them all! Unless something else lives under the surface of the lake...
Feed Me Billy
Developer: Puppet Combo - Full game
Probably my favorite on this list. Feed Me Billy is both regressive, violent, stupid and disturbing. It is a serial killer who massacres innocent victims and then gives their bodies to eat to a creature who lives in a hole at the bottom of his apartment. The idea makes you think The Pit by Lew Lehman, a wonderful Canadian horrific manar that I advise anyone who wants to spend an evening shaming. Enjoy this trailer Hey! But let's go back to our sheep and Feed Me Billy, clearly reserved for an informed public. The visual atmosphere directly refers to the popular conception we make of snuff movie, or videos of poor quality in which our imagination fills the holes of rubbish that scroll on the screen. A great cru who owns this side insolent and bebeast the first times.
Heartworm
Developer: Vincent Adinolfi - Demo
Hearworm knows how to recite his lesson in the perfect little clone of Resident Evil. With its neat camera plans and its superb sound accompaniment, the 20 minutes spent in his company announce the best and I look forward to his creator Vincent Adinolfi's giving me a bigger piece to put under my thumbs!
Midnight Scenes
Developer: Octavi Navarro - Full games
Midnight scenes already has two episodes with a third on the expected release soon. Ending each in about twenty minutes, the two tracks give us the impression of playing a version bridge ‘n click an episode of Night Springs in Alan Wake or Twilight Zone. The pixel art The soundtrack plays a crucial role in this short experience by immerse ourselves from the beginning to the end of paranormal stories.
NextDoor
Developer: Broelbrak - Full game
NextDoor is a tribute to the stories of ghosts of Junji Itoin particular its Mimi No Kaidan. Dung and enjoying an icy finish, go without hesitation on this dreadful, modest but devilishly effective fragment.
Night Shift
Developer: Puppet Combo - Full game
Puppet Combo, again! It is his creation that is most based on the effect of surprise, so much so that he raises here the dared bet of getting bored behind the counter of a gas station, while you work at night. You tidy the shelves, play a little on the arcade terminal... A client comes in. You serve him, he leaves. The seconds, the minutes go down. Maybe pass the broom? Wait a minute! Do I see the lights of a car in the parking lot? And you're here to fix the dark forest that surrounds your impoverished establishment. I won't tell you any more, but one thing is certain: Night Shift Can lead us to the wand.
