I'd recommend Blood. It's a great 90s shooter, sort of like a medieval duke nukem. And the price is right. JUST DO IT!

not really halloween themed but my best friend just bought me castle crashers and the night of the rabbit. :3
I thought about getting The Wolf Among Us but I think I'll just wait for the disc version for Xbox one.
I really love The Walking Dead Game (see my avatar) and I would highly recommend it if anyone is interested. I think season 1 was a lot better than season 2 but they're both great.

Bought Outlast's DLC for myself a few days ago on GamersGate. Glad I did, it was cheaper there.
Tonight, on Steam, I bought Outlast for a friend. If he enjoys it he's getting the DLC next, too.
I love it, so I was excited to share the crapping of pants and falling out of chairs that Outlast provides. Such a pleasant game. c:
Fingers crossed that he really enjoys it! The DLC has the most... uh.. colorful character ever. I really want him to play that, too, haha.

My household got Outlast free on Playstation Plus several months back, definitely want it on Steam as no one outside of that bedroom has access to the PS4 xD

He bought it on its own according to his inventory xD What bundle is it in?
I linked it! It's in Humble Bundle's weekly bundle. c:
It's a little over $5 for the 'beat the average' tier, which is where it is. Comes with 5 other games for that $5, though, which is why I asked since he said he didn't get it on sale, lol.

Oh right, stupid me xD I'll check it out, unlikely to get it though since FNAF is the only game I'm really actively wanting.
I'll recommend The Moon Sliver to you guys-it's an indie game, similar to Dear Esther in that it's a survival horror game but it's more about the story than anything else. Set aside an hour if you do get it as you can't save-but it's a very beautiful story and while it's not the best graphics in the world, I'd recommend it.

Yeah, I understand. I kept thinking about getting the whole thing for Among The Sleep... but the only other thing I'd want is Betrayer. Those two alone just don't justify the $15 price tag, especially with how short Among The Sleep is. Man, I feel so cheap sometimes..
As for The Moon Silver.. isn't that a walking sim, like Gone Home and Dear Esther?
Not to trash on it at all. I won't argue it being dark/atmospheric as I haven't played it, but if you're never in any real danger I don't think it can be considered part of the survival horror genre? I believe those are 'Psychological Horror', for messing with your head more than trying to kill you. Minor detail, I guess. /shrug
It does look interesting, though, it kind of reminds me of Anna. If you're a fan of horror puzzle games, it's also uber cheap this weekend, and it's legit creepy. I loved it but I'm too afraid to go any further, lol.

Aw man, Among the Sleep! I played the demo with my boyfriend and though I haven't got the full game, I've watched several of my friends play it: but ultimately bashed it for having mechanics too similar to Amnesia xD But with a game like that, I suppose there aren't many other original mechanics you can conjure up without it being a pile o' crap.
But I got the gist of it. It is quite a cool game, and considering it's indie it's a job well done. There are tons of jumpscares but they're fresh and original each time. There's one at the end of the demo I'll never forget ;_;
That's what I was looking for! Yes, essentially, but you move more freely than Dear Esther. I haven't played Gone Home so I can't justify it, but there's no set pattern in which you move around in: you can grasp the story easily enough by walking around randomly.
From what I got, there were four people on the island, a cult of sorts, that worshipped the moon: Ellie, Daniel, Ida and her husband that I gave no craps about so I forgot his name.
They had this thing called the Moon Sliver *roll credits* which they kept in a chapel. I can't remember exactly what happened but in my personal opinion, Ida was the most devout to her faith and they were attempting to purify themselves or something to please the moon.
All I remember about Daniel is that he kept on getting interrupted during book reading and the husband didn't like him particularly much. There's a bit where you go down in some tunnels and it describes Daniel looking for Ellie, but Daniel gets lost and killed by something, and so does Ellie eventually.
At the end was the most spooky part. The end is when night falls, you must make your way to the mountain. It describes Ida losing her sanity (I assume it was something to do with her husband being unfaithful to her) and she ends up killing herself. You walk into darkness, then a bright light appears and you keep walking towards it. The story ends when you reach the source of the light: a single flickering candle.
All fine and dandy right? I thought so too, until I turned around in game and witnessed the most realistic silhouette I've ever seen walking towards me. Now, call me a complete ****y but when you see that, you're basically ****ting yourself by then. xD

Anna's definitely spooky! D:
Haha, I've played Gone Home but not Dear Esther.
GH wasn't terribly linear, though. Aside from a few locked doors you had to find a key for. Also wasn't really a horror game.. Which is deceiving when you first play. It's a cliche: Giant house is empty, there's a thunder storm outside, the lights flicker.. but it's truly not meant to be horror.I kept calling it The Moon SILver. Boyfriend corrected me this afternoon when I pointed it to him. Dyslexia sucks. :c
The premise sounds good, though. I'll have to check it out if it ever goes any cheaper!
As for Among The Sleep.. everyone I've come across essentially said the demo was just as long as the game. That it's far too short to justify its price. Reminds me a lot of Baby Blues on Desura, except Baby Blues is free to play.
Though comparing it to Amnesia is new.. not that I'd get that. Never played Amnesia. I've been too afraid that I'd hate it because I loved Penumbra so much, lol.

Oh trust me, being part of the Frictional Fandom, someone told me: "If you love Philip then you're going to love Daniel even more!"
Though safe to say, Philip's the toughest guy I've seen compared to that wimp. XD
(I found out the in game model is just a floating arm, because he doesn't have a full body model like the baby in ATS does!)
