Buckle up you spooky nerds, it's Spooktacular Express Season! Our annual month of Halloween #Content starts this week as we attempt to make video games about horror movie monsters. We've turned NPCs into protagonists and we've given horror movie monsters video game power ups, so in the words of the cute little girl from the taco commercials, "Porque no los dos?" (We've also got some major announcements about our Patreon, make sure to scroll down to check those out!)

Kyle comes in hot with a cozy-core game inspired by original goth, Mary Shelley. Freaking Todd brings up freaking metal dracula again, which no one was happy about. Also, Andrew brought Jigsaw to the party, so that's fun.
