A Creepy Collection for October

Spine-Chilling Horror Awaits

October is synonymous with eerie atmospheres, and two of the upcoming PS Plus games perfectly align with this season’s haunting mood. Among them, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus stands out. Although it initially appears as a whimsical anime dating simulator, those who have delved into its depths since its original 2017 release know it harbors a dark, psychological horror narrative that cleverly manipulates the player.

The game thrusts players into survival horror, confronting them with grotesque creatures known as Necromorphs and Isaac’s deteriorating sanity.
