Remember AlphaMarathon? You know, that yearly thing where we would all try to cover every letter of the alphabet with a game review, including a numeral? I tried to recreate that as one of my October projects, wherein I submit nothing but reviews for horror, horror-adjacent, and Halloween-appropriate games. Well, I decided one year I was going to do one for every letter of the alphabet and call it "AlphaMurderthon."
Then life happened...
Then I found ways to get myself back on track, so now it's complete.
AlphaMurderthon, the final lineup:
1000 Heads Among the Trees
Alan Wake
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth
Downfall
The Evil Within
Football Game
Grim Dawn
Hello Neighbor
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
Joe's Diner
Kindergarten
The Last of Us Remastered
Metro 2033 Redux
Neverending Nightmares
Outlast
Paratopic
The Quarry
Resident Evil HD Remaster
Stories Untold
The Thing Remastered
Until Dawn
Vs. Castlevania
World of Horror
Xenophobe (NES version)
Yearning
Zelle
See you in October. In the meantime, I might try to get back to regular reviewing now that I have this mental hurdle out of the way.

Van Helsing and Vs. Castlevania are both middling. Helsing gets old before too long, and VsC's campaign isn't really suited for the coin-chomping configuration that cabinets brought.
But yeah, it feels nice to have a lineup bereft of $1 games with names like "Dark Blooding" or something grimace-summoning like that...
