Ep. 38: Halloqween Spooktaculqueer!

BOO! Surprise! we’re back for yet another HALLOWEEN-y episode of Gay For Play!

This week, we’re talking all about the video games that scared us; from recent titles like Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye, to classic childhood haunts like underwater levels in N64 games, creepypasta video game urban legends, and indie horror game titles that have chilled us to the bone.

We also discuss a bit of news, including the rocky launch of Nintendo 64 games on the Switch Online service, highlights from this week’s Playstation State of Play event, and the announcement of ConcernedApe’s Haunted Chocolatier: the brand new project from the creator of one of our all time faves- Stardew Valley!

And there’s so much more! This episode is jam-packed full of Halloween haunts and frights (not really, but we’ve got lots of spicy spooky takes to share!) Hope you enjoy the episode and have a wonderful happy Halloween!!
