I do enjoy a wide array of horror games, but the ones I enjoy the most are the ones that have capable protagonists. A capable protagonist is someone who isn’t handicapped by things like bad stamina, poor aiming, and tank co...

There is a thin line that separates the uncanny from the terrifying. The length and position of said line may be different from person to person but it is there nonetheless. What often gives me a fright are uncanny children’s ite...

There is a bit of sadness that comes with making this series, as some of my top choices are likely to never receive a sequel for one reason or another. For some there have been talks official and unofficial but as the days go on my hop...

The Twilight Zone, probably the best TV series I’ve ever seen. It intrigues and fascinates me with many different themes and a variety of episodes. Clearly I’m not alone in this because it has been a staple reference in med...

Initially this game wasn’t on my radar at all. There would be a post here and there and I would eventually forget about it, thought I did have some interest in it. I’m glad I had a chance to experience this game. It has a l...

There are few games that I can think of that carry as much variety as Mario game, especially the 3D games. One level could have you swimming the depths of an alcove in the sea, another will have you running and jumping across pits of l...

Today’s entry will be a bit different, only because there isn’t much available for this title in terms of videos or music. The game was created by a group called puppet combo and they release games via patreon (an interesti...

Looking back I wonder how some games were able to sneak by with the ratings they ended up getting. It could be that some things have changed over the years. Perhaps the overall sentiment about certain themes and their portrayals has sh...

One of my favorite things to do when I see my brother is to play a game together. We usually have a co-op game that we only play when we’re together. This gives us something to look forward to and keeps the game fresh for the bot...

Sometimes games can be scary for very poor reasons. Having a jump scare fiesta is one way in which a game can be frightening (at first) while still being a terrible game. Other times a game is simply so awful that it scares you. Metal ...

Submerged Castle has been a favorite of mine for this series. I would describe it as some sort of entity trying to imitate stock children’s music and failing to do so in such spectacular fashion. It knows what should be there to ...

For those of you who may not know I’m not a fan of ghosts or entities like them in film and most games. Many attempts to make them scary often fall flat because they lack any motive for doing what they do, or its super clich&eacu...

Sometimes it only takes a good piece of music to raise your adrenalin in the late hours of the night. I personally enjoy a good spooky song in the late hours of the night, especially if I’m at work. I can’t quite explain wh...

After the explosive popularity of Five Nights at Freddie’s it seemed like every other new horror game was just another jump scare fiesta. No thought or creativity, just throw in some sort of monster in a mental asylum or other cr...

For Todays entry I’ve decided to go with something thematic for October. While most people will be looking for frights this month there is a lighter side to the spookiest month of the year and for me it doesn’t detract from...

Some of best horror related content I’ve enjoyed over the years has come from games that aren’t actually horror games. It’s surprising how well done these instances are for what sometimes amounts to a few minutes of y...

One of the things I like to do in my free time is read up on mythological creatures and monsters of legend. I find them and their lore fascinating. Same thing applies to created monsters from games and other media. I find it enhances m...

  It’s no secret that I love Majoras Mask. You would think that with only 4 dungeons and the same 3 day cycle repeating over and over again that there would be nothing left to talk about. The game is just over 18 years old a...

The Stalker, an often used horror trope that normally works quite well even if the threat isn’t initially scary or menacing. How effective that stalker is for the duration of the game/movie/etc. depends on their overall performan...

Lone Survivor: The Director I really do wish there were more games like Lone Survivor. Perhaps part of that has to do with the absence of Silent Hill. Yes Lone Survivor for those of you who have not played it is basically a 2d Silent ...

Today’s Entry comes from Night Cry, a spiritual successor to the clock tower series. Normally I would include a soundtrack but upon review the whole thing was scrubbed off youtube rendering my original link useless.  The re...

Hello, and welcome to my annual 31 Days series where I post one spooky or otherwise theme fitting song per day. I’ll usually talk about my own experiences or thoughts with the game or song in question. I also drop some free codes...

When a Free to play game is announced the usual reaction on sites like this may be to treat it with a bit of contempt or scorn. We’ve been through a ton of these games, and we are for the most part members of a more educated grou...

We’ve come to the end of another year and what a year it has been. We’ve had a number of good and bad things happen both on and off site. I would wager most of us remember the bad things that happened to us more than the g...

Final bump, only 2 days left folks to get your entries in (if you're interested, either way I'd love to hear about it regardless). shame the pic is dated Last year I wrote a 2 part blog series called Our Favorite Things/And Then I don...

31 days, 31 entries. Although I may not relay a personal story with each song I’ve chosen throughout my series each song is taken from a game that I’ve played. Each one a small piece of my own personal experience throughout...

Only 24 hours remain until Halloween arrives. While I never celebrated Halloween (never went trick or treating, no dressed up) I have always liked the general vibe of the season. Keeping with that sprit the 30th installment is: Little...

Super Mario Odyssey is just eating up a lot of my free time, so how about another Mario tune from another game. Today’s song is: Super Paper Mario: World of Nothing As I’ve said before the Paper Mario series has some of th...

It’s only been a day and I am fully engrossed in Super Mario Odyssey. Even so the series must continue, and it does with this being the 28th installment. Today’s Song is: Kirby Mass Attack: Scary Graveyard (the scary bit i...

Hello everyone and welcome to the 27th installment of 31 days. Day 26 was posted, but on our discord (which you should visit by clicking the discord icon at the top of the site). If the reason escapes you, D-toid was down almost all da...
