Steam Halloween Sale 2016

Layers of Fear is a borderline recommendation at -50%. Already said my piece about it relying on relentless jump-scares. It's classy Youtube bait.

The Last Door is -80% if point-and-click adventure is your thing. Nothing groundbreaking, but I liked its style.

Duskers only -25%, but still good.

Viscera Cleanup Detail -33% and I'm buying the Halloween DLC.

The Room isn't technically horror. It's actually a funky 3D puzzle game, but has the trappings and atmosphere to make it worth recommending. It was already cheap before being -66%. If there was ever a Hellraiser video game, it would have to be made by these guys.

Eldtrich is quite a good game, albeit one that didn't hold my attention for long. I generally don't play roguelikes for very long though. Given the lack of an ending, I find myself losing motivation to persist with them after a while.

On another note, I just noticed they have a number of horror films available as well. When did they start selling mainstream movies from Steam? As far as I was aware, it was only machinima etc. that was available.

And you're right, it is 15 hmm. Wonder if I should hold off till a bigger day sale (tho Steam stopped those, no?)

It was $10 during the last Xmas sale. Think it may have still been in EA though.

(http://store.steampowered.com/app/252630/) Eldritch. A must buy if it goes on sale. It's by the same guys who did Neon Struct.

That said, I didn't know their new game ((http://store.steampowered.com/app/501860/) Slayer Shock) was out (and is also on sale, 30% off).

Grabbed:
* Resident Evil 0
* UFO - Aftershock

And that's it for this sale. Nothing else that interested me that I didn't already have.

Yeah, me neither. It doesn't seem to be very good, though, unfortunately.

GOG is having a somewhat smaller, but similar-themed, sale this same weekend. I finally grabbed SOMA there and started playing that last night. Just turned the power back on when I stopped.

Aye Soma is another one I was looking at. Its a horror ish game right? Is it more of a walking sim or are there lots of puzzles (which I'm not a huge fan of)? Worth picking up?

Existential horror, althought it's more science fiction than anything. Not many puzzles (or generically scary bits) compared to Frictional's other games.

Well, just picked up Eldrith, only because of the recommendation here. Not sure if I will like it but eh, it was $1.5. I literally just spent the same on a big onion at the store :|
