So are you afraid of the dark?

You may know Haunted PS1 from theirdemo disc releasesthat have bundled together tons of demos for neat indie horror games. Last year’s EEK3 featured the likes ofChasing StaticandSignalisand more. The trailer for March’s demo disc right here will give you more of an idea the kind of things you’re in for.

In the past, Haunted PS1 have said of their collections that “HPS1 is a community where we try to accept all low-fi and retro art directions. As such not every game has to be 3D or have the particular visual quirks of any specific hardware. In a similar way we do not require the games to have a strict horror theme, instead they can be atmospheric, have a slight unnerving twist or even just feel so of the era that we can’t resist loving them and wanting them in the collection.”

Given that this is going down in October this year, instead of June, I’d be willing to bet they’ll lean pretty hard into the many shades of horror. I’ll just be hoping for a few Halloween-y options this year. You know, some sheet ghosts and jack-o-lanterns to go with the blood and jump scares.

EEK3 is creeping onto your screen this Friday, October 8th overon Twitch.
