It sounds like Absence makes the heart grow fonder of horror games that don't suck!

"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. 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 world2

I think my favorite part about OctJOEber is simply reading about what cheap and shoddy horror-themed games made the cut this time. Sure, it's fun to read about actual good games, but I get a sick thrill from reading about games like this. Really good review that showed how this one had the potential to be different and pretty cool, but gradually fell victim to its shoddy design and eventual descent into predictability.
