We here at Big Boss Battle love our fall, so we put together a list of 5 indie games relating to either the *feels* of Autumn or the *spooks* of Halloween! However, all these games fall outside of the “jump scare” variety, and all leave a lot more room for light-hearted fun and exploration. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Check out these great games, which despite the common thread have a big variety of gameplay mechanics, story, and awesome!<\/p>\n

Spooky Ghosts Dot Com<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>by\u00a0Grizzly Wizard Games<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every time an awesome, indie metroidvania comes out, I say \u2018well that\u2019s it, nothing else can be done with this genre of game\u2019, and I am always wrong. In <\/span>Spooky Ghosts Dot Com<\/span><\/i>, you play as Ruby, a ghost hunter! A ghost hunter whose company is called \u2018Spooky Ghosts Dot Com\u2019. It\u2019s amazing. <\/span><\/p>\n

The game is a wonderful example of not trying to reinvent the wheel but doing a really, really good job working with the simple pieces you have. The enemies you fight are all your standard Halloween stuff \u2014 giant pumpkins, a big ghost that comes out of a TV, a green-faced witch \u2014 but the writing and gameplay run so smooth and snarky that \u00a0it keeps you coming back. It has a wonderful sense of humor, and since they don\u2019t concentrate a lot on graphics (they have their charm, but aren\u2019t high works of art), there is so much more energy put into creating a world you want to be a part of. There are a ton of cool spaces to explore, so pick up a copy on Steam<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n
