# Review

This is a point and click adventure game where the player has to face various creatures who escaped from R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps book series. Growing up, I’ve read many of the Goosebumps books so this game felt very nostalgic.

Even though the game is supposed to be a horror game, it’s not particularly scary. The game feels like reading an interactive Goosebumps book; the player transitions from static scene to scene where each scene has some basic repetitive animations.

Sample in-game scene

There really isn’t an overarching story arc; it feels that the developers wanted to fit as many references to Stine’s books as possible, the entire experience felt a bit crowded. I would’ve preferred if there were less references but each included reference is better developed.

# Conclusion

Very nostalgic but an ok game.

# Overall rating: 6.6
