Just like last year for the month of October, I am pulling away from my regular 5 Fandom Friday and Saturday Suggestion posts. Every Friday for the month of October I will be presenting my 5 Freaky Faves in honor of Halloween! This week’s 5 Freaky Faves are 5 horror games you should try! See this post for last year’s 5 Freaky Fave Games!
Rule of Rose became a bit of an obsession because I couldn’t find it again after playing it all those years ago. It was a game out of its time. It was weird. It was rare. If it didn’t have a cult following, it should have. — A Geeky Gal
I’ve been playing my personal hidden gem, Rule of Rose, on YouTube so I’m linking my let’s play list so far!
Catherine: Full Body
While I’ve reviewed Catherine on the blog already, I am currently playing Catherine: Full Body, which is the original game PLUS 60% more content! It’s the perfect mix of puzzles, choice, and horror. I highly recommend making Catherine one of your October games.
Dead By Daylight
Dead by Daylight is probably one of the most anxiety inducing games I have ever played. And I count how many times I’ve played it on one hand. That’s not a knock on this game though. Despite my love of horror, I enjoy watching others play this one rather than playing it myself. My husband is specifically enjoyable to watch for me. This game is best played with friends in my humble opinion.
Lollipop Chainsaw
Juliet Starling is a normal high school student. She’s a cheerleader, has a sweet boyfriend, and even rides her bike to school. But Juliet has a dark secret…. She’s a zombie hunter. On the morning of her birthday, there’s a zombie outbreak. Juliet, with help from her body-less boyfriend, two sisters, mom, and dad, must defeat the zombie apocalypse her classmate has unleashed upon the town before all hell breaks loose (literally). — A Geeky Gal
Doki Doki Literature Club
Trigger warning for suicide, self harm, and other disturbing content.
You’ve read the game tags. You’ve read the warnings. You’ve read the reviews. It’s on Steam for free. Now it’s your turn to experience the psychological horror that is Doki Doki Literature Club!
Don’t let the innocent logo, shades of pink, and the stereotypical looking visual novel ladies fool you. This game made me scream, and never have so many obscenities come out of my mouth while playing a Steam game before. Jump scares? Check! Nightmares? Check! Images burned into my eyeballs? Check! Music stuck in my head for days? Check! Check! Check! — A Geeky Gal
What are your favorite scary games to play for Halloween? Tell me in the comments!
I might not be answering this one correctly because my answer consists of two people: Max and Chloe from Life is Strange. I haven’t finished this game in it’s entirety yet but I’m working on it. What I have played and experienced so far has me in love with Max and Chloe. I see pieces…
Enter the world of Animal Crossing. Make friends with the animals, fish to your heart’s content, find every fossil to be displayed at the museum, decorate your house over and over again… You can totally ignore all responsibilities (like paying back loans) and do other things in the game if you just don’t feel like…
Catherine is by far one of the weirdest yet most addicting games I have ever played. I wanted it as soon as it came out simply because I’m all for choice-making games and puzzles that make you think. It’s definitely not for kids though as innocent as puzzles sound. I’m sure by now you know…
Referencing back to Day 13 in which I talked about all of the strange games I used to play with my childhood best friend, I need to talk about this next game that we spent hours upon hours playing until 100% completion. It was one of the first survival horror games for me and I…
Special thanks to Darling Stewie for this topic via her 5 Fandom Friday DLC (Stewie Pack)! She has inspired me to think up my own DLC for A Nerdy Girlie’s original idea of the 5 Fandom Friday topics! Without further ado, meet the 5 characters I would love to brunch with! Lorelai and Rory from…
These are some great picks. I love Catherine and still need to play Catherine: Full Body. Doki Doki Literature Club was not what I was expecting. I’m glad I went into knowing nothing about it though, I don’t think it would have enjoyed it as much. This month I’m looking forward to playing The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan.
Even in easy I had issues in the last few nights! Don’t think they had a safe mode. I should pop that game into my Xbox one and check the backwards compatibility on it!
I’ve heard people talk about Doki Doki Literature Club and how terrifying it was, but I’ve never played it. I wish I wouldn’t have forgot about it a couple months ago when it was free on Steam.

I LOVE Dead By Daylight! I have got to try these other games!
Me too!!!
Rule of Rose sounds very cool and I’d never heard of it before. Can’t wait to finish watching your playthrough. 😎👍

I started playing Doki Doki Literature Club without knowing what it was really about & yea…definitely not what I expected
Hopefully you still enjoyed it!
Catherine! Oh my lord, I loved the original game.
It also suffered from the Atlus difficulty curve. I couldn’t play it in normal the first time around. XD
Omg yes. I can’t remember if the original had it but Full Body has safety mode where you never die lol.

Good choices! The scariest game I ever played was Condemned 2… But I don’t play that many!
I actually haven’t heard of that one. I’ll have to look it up!
