Sinthai Studio Halloween

This is point and click interactive horror flash animation released by Sinthai Studio for Halloween in 2010. Sinthai became famous in 2005 with the game The House, which had a sequel in 2010. The House 2 is even now one of the most popular games on crazyscarygames.com, with more than 15000 hits since we have put it up there.

Is this a game at all?

I have deliberately called this project an animation rather than game, because the interaction with player is so minimal that this can hardly be called a game. Basically there are no points, no goal and no winner. Fear and a few jumpscares are the only goal in this project. The scene is set as in horror movies: dark black room, broken window, wooden table and a pumpkin on top of it which turns into, no more or less but baby head. Room is lit with a squinty bulb which is slowly swinging. The entire 'story' comes down to alternately clicking on the pumpkin, light switch and a note written by the developer himself, something about Halloween in general. Honestly, I have played this game several times but so far I haven't been able to find the 'recipe' what and how many times should be clicked. At the end, after the window brakes and blood splashed all over the wall, links to developer other sites come up and that is the end of it.

Halloween - could it be scary anymore?

Crazy scary games mostly avoids publishing Halloween games. They are usually too colorful and are mostly for children, and we attempt to stay dark as much as possible. This 'game' proves that it is possible to make a scary Halloween game.

Conclusion

Do not expect too much out of this game. It is short and the story is undeveloped. Look at it more as an advertising project. Still, what is for sure is that there is one morbid and creepy story in front of you. It is quite possible that at some point you will jump out of your chair with a scream. But at the end, that is why we all love horror so much. To speed up our pulse a bit and make our blood run cold.
