<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n Halloween is just around the corner. A classic scary movie<\/a><\/span> or spooky game can be a satisfying October staple. Not everyone is a fan of the horror genre though, and that’s OK. Apple Arcade<\/a><\/span> — Apple’s $5 (\u00a35, AU$8)-a-month mobile gaming subscription service — has multiple titles to check out that pair well with spooky season. <\/p>\n Apple Arcade<\/p>\n See at Apple<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Here’s what to play this month. <\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>Devolver Digital <\/p>\n Bleak Sword is a dark retro fantasy action game full of evil creatures you must slay in order to break a legendary curse. Dodge, roll and parry against randomly generated enemies across nine chapters of swamps, forests and castles. <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Bossa Studios and A Brave Plan <\/p>\n The Bradwell Conspiracy is a narrative-driven first-person game where you have to uncover the truth behind the explosion that destroyed the Bradwell Electronics facility. At the start of the game, you wake up in the rubble with only a computerized voice in your “smart glasses” to guide you. The glasses guide eventually connects you to another person trapped inside the facility, and you must try to escape together.\u00a0 <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>Konami Digital Entertainment\u00a0 <\/p>\n Dracula is quintessentially Halloween. Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls is a side-scrolling action game that features a number of characters from the original gothic fantasy series and its creators, Ayami Kojima and Michiru Yamane. The game is set after Dracula has been sealed away, and you can play as Alucard, Charlotte, Maria, Simon Belmont and more as you battle your way through Dracula’s army. <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>Spry Fox <\/p>\n Cozy Grove is like a haunted version of Animal Crossing<\/a><\/span>, and it’s adorable. You’re a Spirit Scout tasked with bringing peace to the adorably haunted island of Cozy Grove. Explore the island, collect resources and craft items to survive, tend your fire — Flamey — and try to help the lost forest ghosts. The more you help, the more the island heals — the environment becomes colorized and flowers grow. <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>Amanita Design <\/p>\n Creaks<\/a><\/span> is an intricate puzzle platformer game that seeks to solve the mystery of what exactly goes bump in the night. In the game, you’re spending a quiet evening in your room when the light starts flickering and the ground trembles. The wallpaper pulls back to reveal a secret door, and someone, or something, is making noise in there. Grab your flashlight and explore a mysterious subterranean world of bird people. Lurking in the shadows are deadly, shape-shifting monsters. But don’t worry — when you shine a light on them, they transform into harmless furniture. <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>Klei <\/p>\n Don’t Starve: Pocket Edition puts you in the role of Wilson, a scientist, transported to a mysterious, unexplored wilderness full of unidentified creatures, dangers and surprises.

Molly, Salim and Molly’s dog Moses sneak out one night to catch a late showing of the Ghostblasters movie at the local drive-in. Along the way, they have to navigate creepy woods and sneak past the surly cemetery groundskeeper. When Moses goes missing suddenly and suspiciously, Molly and Salim begin an adventure to find out what happened to their canine friend. This narrative-driven game includes puzzles, hidden object searches and more.\u00a0 <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Versus Evil and Mad About Pandas <\/p>\n Hitchhiker<\/a><\/span> is a mystery game where you play as a hitchhiker with no memory of your past or destination. By catching rides with five strangers across a landscape of rolling hills, you must try and figure out who you are as well as find a mysterious missing friend. Everyone has a story to tell, but not everything is what it seems. Search the vehicles for clues and choose your words carefully to bring hidden parts of your identity to light — and prepare for the dangers ahead. The longer you’re on the road, the more your grasp on reality loosens. <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Hidden Layer Games and Chucklefish Games <\/p>\n Inmost, a hidden-object platformer, immediately drops players into a creepy world inside a mysterious house. You’ll play as multiple characters whose storylines are more connected than they might seem at first. Navigate a strange castle and dodge menacing shadows on your path to find answers. <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>Joe Russ and Ben Tillet <\/p>\n Jenny LeClue<\/a><\/span> envelops players in a mystery-adventure-thriller narrative, guided by choices you make.

When your mother is accused of murder, you set out to prove the truth. As you seek out answers, you quickly realize that nothing and no one in Arthurton are what they seem.\u00a0 <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer:<\/strong> Level 5 <\/p>\n Layton’s Mystery Journey sets up a Sherlock Holmes-meets-Studio Ghibli environment to tell the story of Katrielle Layton — a young detective out to unravel the mystery of her father’s disappearance. Visit the crime scene, investigate with your magnifying glass, interview witnesses and suspects, collect clues and solve puzzles to crack the case. The puzzles in the game start off simple, and you can use coins to get clues if you get stuck. The more difficult a puzzle is, the higher its coin value. Earning coins also grants you access to end-game bonuses that help you solve your case.\u00a0 <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>Blazing Griffin <\/p>\n In Murder Mystery Machine, you’re a detective out to prove yourself when a murder case comes across your desk. Explore the crime scene, collect evidence, interview suspects and make deductions to solve the case. You can get hints from your partner if you get stuck, but he’s a bit surly. The game releases mysteries in episodes, and the first one is about a murdered politician. Fans of detective procedurals like Law & Order might like this game. <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>Route 59 <\/p>\n Anime-style supernatural game Necrobarista<\/a><\/span> tells the story of Maddy Xiao — a barista and amateur necromancer — is the new owner of the Terminal, a coffee shop that welcomes the dead to walk among the living for one night.

With his girlfriend nowhere to be found, Peet must navigate the frightening halls of Blackfork Asylum and try to understand the sometimes-violent behavior of adults. The more he explores, the more the secrets of his past unfurl. Neversong has six levels to explore, including Red Wind Field and Blackfork Asylum, which are all packed with bosses to defeat. Armed with a baseball bat, his childhood friends and his pet bird, Peet will set out to learn the truth about his coma. <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>Noodlecake\u00a0 <\/p>\n Nuts is a surveillance mystery game that’s lightheartedly reminiscent of Firewatch.

Pack up your map, cameras, motion sensors, thermal imaging tech and GPS for the weirdest surveillance mission ever. Along the way, you’ll be tasked with missions: Placing cameras, observing footage, tracking the squirrels’ movements and more. The whole time, you’re in communication with Professor Nina Scholz.

When she meets Marcus, another survivor with intel on a diner potentially stocked with supplies, the pair head off on a journey, salvaging and upgrading equipment and battling waves of zombies along the way.\u00a0 <\/p>\n See at Apple Arcade<\/span><\/p>\n Developer: <\/strong>IzanagiGames <\/p>\n World’s End Club<\/a><\/span>\u00a0is perhaps the darkest game on Apple Arcade so far. In the game, a busload of ragtag students known as the Go-Getters Club are on a field trip when a mysterious meteor causes the bus to crash. The kids awaken in a creepy theme park under the sea called World’s End Land, and try to regroup. Suddenly, a floating harlequin named Pielope appears, and commands them to play a Game of Fate. As the stakes get higher, friendships are put to the test.
