Halloween is coming up, and I haven't played a spooky game yet this year. I think I'll probably try and bang out The Coma and a replay of its sequel over the course of the next few days, so I have something spooky to write about on MoeGamer for the week of Halloween. There's also the short;Play video of Mad Rat Dead coming up; that isn't really "horror" as such, but it's definitely got some… weirdness going on.
I haven't played the first The Coma game yet, but I enjoyed the second. Those who have been following along will recall that I reviewed it for Nintendo Life a while back — you can check it out here. It was an enjoyable, very stylish horror game that told an interesting story and managed to feel a bit different from your average horror game. Part of that was it being Korean rather than the more common Western or Japanese takes on the genre, but also things like the side-on perspective and the overall structure really worked well for it.
If you're interested in The Coma and its sequel, it's worth noting that Play-Asia have a double-pack of them available for Switch — you can grab 'em here. If you decide to grab it, do it through this link; that's my Play-Asia affiliate link for it. It won't cost you anything extra but if enough people do it it'll help the site out a bit.
I'm going to start making use of a few more of these around MoeGamer — likely on the game pages, to provide people an easy means of buying the games I write about — as that is something that seems to have worked out well for other people I know with minimal inconvenience, and without the obtrusiveness of banner or popup ads and the like. I'll also look into other sites that offer affiliate programmes such as Humble; it's an avenue I haven't really explored yet, but as I say, I know several people who have made good use of them.
Anyway. Expect something on The Coma hopefully in the next week or so, and the sequel if I manage to get through it again. I said a while back that I might do a video playthrough of one or both, but doing that considerably increases the time it takes to get through them, so I'm probably not going to have time to do that, unfortunately. Plus as short-form horror games, I'm kind of in favour of letting people discover some things for themselves, anyway 🙂
For now, though, time for bed, I think. The spookums begin tomorrow!
