Up to 90% off this bag full of tasty scares: Outlast, Clive Barker's Undying, Oxenfree, SOMA, Fran Bow, and more!






You are listening to a song that sounds like your grandma playing ping-pong with a gentleman stag. Suddenly, a distant noise of something breaking - or perhaps it's just the neighbor chopping down your favorite tree. But you live in the desert. It's all very confusing and disorienting until you check the calendar and realise it's almost Halloween! Time to put on your spooky face and go search the neighborhood for some scary good games going for up to 90% off. Time to go through <span class="bold">The Scary Door</span>.


Everyone you know is out here trick or treating, dressed up as something cool like the kids in Costume Quest. Be careful which houses you visit, though. Better avoid disturbing the disturbed Cat Lady downstairs, for starters. And that Last Door at the end of the road? It's strangely inviting, despite its ancient looks, but what are these eerie sounds coming from inside? Should you happen upon a wandering girl with a bag full of weird red candy, be so kind and help her find her cat. Poor Fran Bow has already been through enough.
This is one of these nights where your friends might try to drag you to some remote island with an abandoned military facility for some midnight mischief. If you want to feel Oxenfree for a while, feel free to join them, but better check if any of your buddies is possessed first, or you might end up stuck in a ghostly loop. Then again, you might not even make it there, not if you need to cross a Sunless Sea ruled by terrible Gods and odd creatures. Ah yes, this is definitely going to be a night to remember. Unless you decide to force some merciful Amnesia upon yourself, trying to dispel your Personal Nightmares. But why would you do that?






Enter <span class="bold">The Scary Door</span> and treat yourself to 30+ games that will give you the heebie-jeebies, including: SOMA, Clive Barker's Undying, Layers of Fear, Outlast, and so many others!
The promo will last until November 3, 3:59 AM UTC.

Random_Coffee: I'm looking at getting Outlast and Clive Barker's Undying. Has anyone here played them? Personally I can highly recommend the Alan Wake-games, Blood, and Deadly Premonition (when it works properly).
I recommend Clive Barker's Undying , is a really scary game, even being a bit linear (you need to be careful exploring because some areas can be only visited once, especially in the mansion)

avatar
Mr.Caine: In the past perhaps. Now I'd say horror adventures are a minority.
avatar
Ricky_Bobby: Yep, the majority of today's horror games are story-less note-collecting corridor jump-scare games.
In the slightly more complex versions you also need to turn various switches on or off.
These have very little to do with 'Adventure' gaming.

We get a few Adventure ones every now and then, like Fran Bow, but these are rare compared to the above.
Those "exploration" games aren't much better, will love to see more horror FPSs and RPGs

Get Outlast it's great.
Don't forget the DLC as it's even better than the main game in some ways.

Vythonaut: Do yourself a favor and buy STASIS. I can't describe how much fun I had when I played it. "Fun" I said? "Terror" I meant.. Goosebumps all over the place. Moments that I won't ever forget; it's that good!
...
If you enjoyed sci-fi movie classics like the Alien series, sci-fi game classics like System Shock series and isometric horror adventure games like Sanitarium, you owe it to yourself to play this masterpiece. 10/10
avatar
Yezemin: I wholeheartedly second this.
I also agree. It's a game that's easy to overlook.
The atmosphere and visual design of Stasis are the standouts for me, the narration was also really good.
There's plenty of notes and letters that flesh out the game-world and the storyline.
Some of the puzzles were rather absurd or grotesque, and even reminded me of Sanitarium.

Edit: one thing I did not like though was the voice-acting, I don't think it actually needed one to begin with, the game would have been creepier without it.

tinyE: "The Scary Door"? XD

Did Shaggy and Scooby come up with this promo?
Nah, this promo comes to us courtesy of 31st century television.

Better than, "The Squeaky Floorboard". Not by much though.
So SuperHOT is in promo but no Serious Sam or Painkiller?
It would be better with them.
This is an excellent promo. I already have half of the games, and there's still a lot that I'm interested in.


What I really miss here on GOG is the sequel to Costume Quest. It would be WONDERFUL if GOG could manage to bring it here DRM-free.

I was thinking of Futurama Twilight Zone parody. Now I can't stop laughing. XD

Random_Coffee: Deadly Premonition is fantastic. The story is very interesting, and the humor is genuinely funny (I do sometimes laugh out loud while playing it). The soundtrack also has a haunting, enigmatic feel to it.

The problem is that the PC-version has a lot of problems. Most can be solved by installing DPfix, but it still crashes from time to time for me, and right now I can't progress because of this. I hope to get it solved, because I really love that game.
avatar
omega64: You'll be screwing around trying to fix crashes and stuff due to the port but it's a good game.
So in short, a game worth to play, but with a lot of issues due to it being a very bad port...
In few words, what is good for you both ? What kind of atmosphere and humor is there ?
(thanks for the help by the way :))
avatar
omega64: General question:
Does Sunless Sea have an easy mode?
avatar
Luned: Not exactly. You should expect to lose your first few captains pretty quickly. A frequently misunderstood aspect of the game is that you're building a dynasty (like The Guild or Crusader Kings) to eventually meet one of the win conditions, not looking for a win with a single captain like a traditional RPG. Each new captain gets to retain something from the preceding captain's gains, and eventually you'll hit a tipping point where your captains can survive much longer.

...
Yes, thank you for making sense of every review I've read.
Shit, I totally forgot, The Terraria Halloween stuff is active.

Wow. I actually don't have any if the games in this promo. Sunless Sea is on my wishlist...
Nice promo!

Kudos to whoever tossed out the Futurama reference for the Promo name ;)

How the heck did that Wubbo or whatever game sneak in there?
Well, this looks more to a regular weekend promo than to the somewhat bigger sale I was expecting for Halloween. Not sure why I was expecting that, though.
So is Amnesia: AMFP really that bad?
