Rodent is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

I’m going to keep adding more items as I think of them in case others might be interested in this type of game.

There’s a free game on steam called Nightmare Kart which started out as a Bloodborne Mario Kart but the developer was getting too much attention so he removed all the explicit Bloodborne references that might get him sued and released the game as a vaguely Bloodborne-ish kart racing game. It features PS1 style graphics.

Also, for anyone into arcade (MAME) games, there’s a horror-themed beat 'em up called Night Slashers which is pretty fun.

Apparently this game is getting a remake on steam, called Night Slashers: Remake. I actually had no idea this game was being made until I googled for the arcade game’s cover art just now.

I totally agree that good horror needs to gradually ramp up the tension. But that’s why I’m not looking for horror games, I’m just looking for some fun spooky games i can jump into real quick without really dedicating a lot of time to it.

I’ve never even heard of this! Looks like it’s a turn-based RPG though. Those are typically pretty rough on the NES. Do you like the game?

Just to throw another item into the list, there’s a VirtualBoy game called Jack Bros which should perfectly fit my criteria:

Unfortunately, the game is really boring (in my opinion). You just wander around a maze collecting keys so that you can… move onto the next maze to collect more keys. You have a basic attack but the range is so short that it isn’t exactly fun. I had really high hopes when I learned of its existence too…

I’m not so much concerned with the gore or being too scary, it’s the slowness of the SH games that I don’t have the patience for right now. I’m not looking for a game I need to spend hours immersing myself into, I’m hoping to find some fun games I can jump into for 20 minutes at a time.

Ghost n Goblins is a good call, although I’m terrible at that game. I’ll definitely need to checkout Rusty, I’ve played all the Castlevania games so Rusty sounds perfect.

MedEvil definitely fits my criteria, although I find that game too clunky. There’s a new(ish) game called Pumpkin Jack which was heavily inspired by MedEvil but uses more modern game mechanics. It’s a fun one.

Luigi’s Mansion leans a bit too far into the cutesy/silly territory for me, but it’s definitely a good choice.

I didn’t realize Dead By Daylight had a bunch of characters from various horror franchises, that’s really cool! I think I’m probably more likely to play Left4Dead if I wanted an action-y spooky multiplayer game but I’ll definitely give Dead By Daylight more attention.

I’ve never heard of Pascal’s Wager and the reviews on steam don’t look great, but I’ll look into it.

Thanks for the list with so many varied options!

You’re right, Maniac Mansion definitely has the vibe I’m looking for but there’s no way I’ve got the patience for a point-and-click game.

Well that looks perfect, thanks!

I have the default comment sorting set to “Top”. In this latest build it seems to be ordering them by “New” instead, even though the icon at the top still shows “Top”. If I change the sorting type to something else and then change it back to “Top” the sort appears to be correct. So it looks like the default sorting type isn’t used when first entering the post but the sorting algorithms themselves still work.

Awesome, thanks!

Wow, this whole post looks weird in Raccoon. I embedded two images in the post body and those images are overlapping and covering the text. Also, I put a dollar sign in between parentheses in both the title and post body and both characters are missing, just like in my screenshots.

Also, it’d be nice if that community list was sorted. I believe it’s sorting each individual page as that page is fetched, but not sorting the full list of communities.

Also, if there are multiple top-level comments without any replies next to each other, clicking the down arrow will skip past all of them and jump to the next thread that does have comments and puts that last comment from the previous thread at the top to show the next top-level comment below that thread.

It took me a while to figure out what was happening for this one. It can jump really far if there are lots of top-level comments with no replies.

Works great, thanks!

But it’s so complicated to do manually I won’t ask you to do so, don’t worry.

Here’s the error: 😄

Also, Crash Reporting is enabled in my settings but i don’t know if you’re actually receiving them.

Default feed type works fine. Also, changing the sort of posts or comments will crash the app whether I’m changing the default in settings or if i try changing my current sort order in the main part of the app. It’s like there’s some invalid/unexpected sort type that the app can’t display in the dropdown.

If I try changing the default post or comment sort type, the app crashes. I just reinstalled the app and it’s still crashing when I click that setting so I don’t think it’s anything I’m doing wrong.

Attempting to use comment navigation (jumping to next top-level comment) now crashes the app after 2 or 3 clicks. I’m guessing it has something to do with what you said about jumping to a comment on the next “page” of comments.

The comment navigation isn’t working the way I’d expect. I was expecting each push of the down arrow to jump to the next top-level comment and each push of the up arrow to jump to the previous top-level comment.

Instead, the down arrow only seems to walk down an individual comment thread and stops working when you reach the bottom of that first thread. And the up arrow just seems to jump up one comment at a time regardless of thread.

Also, the clickable area on the navigation buttons seems too small. The comment behind the navigation bar keeps expanding/collapsing if my tap isn’t exactly on the arrow icon.
