Project Horror is a site-wide annual effort to supply one (1) horror game a day throughout the month of October. This was first attempted back in 2016 and gives us an excuse to talk about Alan Wake at least once a year.

Once October starts, so will the wall of horror games. Feel free to reserve yourself a seat.

I have a Limbo review ready to go. Should I just publish it, or would you like me to wait until a certain date?
Gary Hartley Staff Oct 10, 2016 edited
Today's slot has been taken. If you're happy to post it tomorrow, I can put what was going out that day on hold.

Which reminds me; I should really make a list.

EDIT: going to assume that's not dropping today. Onto the next one!

Here we go again.

Let's see how far Joe will unknowingly carry me. He's always been my favourite.

I did agree to review Alien 3 for Genesis this time, so now I'll actually have to start playing it.

Maybe I'll do Soma, too.

Goal: play and review PT before the month is over. I don't care if it's a trailer.

You currently have it installed on your PS4? I hope so, because otherwise it's fairly difficult to get to... ;-)

Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world

Yeah, I thankfully installed it once the news of it being delisted hit.

Anyone mind if I change from Alien 3 Genesis to SNES version? I'm going to assume "yes" and start playing it right after I click "Post my reply..."

Did I forget it? Or did you submit it on a day when there was already a review in place like a foolish fool?

As it is, I dropped the ball on a day so will bend the rule a little(for the first time since I started doing this mess) and slot that review into that day. For you. Because I'm a chum.

That's another year down - and I didn't even have to to replay all the bad Resident Evils this year. Just the awful Alone in the Dark instead. While Joe played the better ones.

Thanks to everyone who took part. Let's see if I have it in me to try again next year.

I'd say it worked out well, all things considered. Clearly there are some titles that get revisited... but at least there wasn't too much rehashing of seasonal favorites.

Is this happening again this year?

I'm pretty sure that you could cover this yourself, Joe.

Gary Hartley Staff Oct 1, 2018
I hadn't planned to, to be honest. I'm still sore I had to cover you and play Illumination.

I mean, I guess I could. It's just a lot of work that never seems to go anywhere. If someone's willing to lend me a hand on the steam group front, I'm pretty confident we can pull this mess off again. I've even started playing Silent Hill stuff again, so who knows.

One block down.. maybe I'll pull this off after all!

If any of you slackers are jumping in with horror reviews, please try to let me know ahead of time.

Since we still haven't put together that Aliens game project and my Aliens: Thanatos whatever review has been on hold for like 1.5 years or so, if you have a day where you need a game and want that one, it's ready to go somewhere sometime!

No - you sit on that. I've written three Alien reviews, two for awful, awful games. I've not given up on that yet. Though god knows I should.

Well! We pulled it off! And by 'we,' I mean Joe. I'm glad I could contribute my grand total of one review to the project.

Emp, nice job on rounding up folks and putting up the links in such a pretty fashion. One thing though: a few of the links are broken. The "Shuggy" review, and the one after it, I think.

Great. Turns out someone, who shall remains nameless, decided to delete a bunch of reviews after I linked them to this hot mess of awkward arse coding as well as to various steam pages. So now there's a bunch of dead links just floating around out there I really can't be bothered hunt down and fix. That puts a dampener on what little sense of fulfillment I fleetingly got out of the hours of thankless work I ploughed into this.

Spoilers: It was Joe.

I just realized an Alan Wake review has appeared in all three Project Horror outings. I look forward to the next Alan Wake review in 2019.
I heard spaceshit noises.

Woolfe almost made the same run, but sadly fell short this year.
