Bad Summer Chills and Thrills with an Exciting, Ethereal Demo
Browsing through the games showcased during Next Fest is always a great time. Getting an idea for interesting indie games coming soon, trying out a few demos, and really lengthening my wishlist is a favorite pastime of mine. I’m also a sucker for classic slasher horror films akin to Friday the 13th and Halloween. So, when Bad Summer from S&J Games crossed my path this month, I jumped at the chance to check it out.

Scary Moments: Hair-Raising Stories Guaranteed to Give You Goosebumps
Welcome to scary moments. If you're a fan of spine-tingling tales that will keep you up at night, then you're in for a treat. Prepare yourself for a journey into the unknown as we explore some of the most bone-chilling stories that will make your hair stand on end.
Our first stop is the infamous Haunted House on Maple Street. Legend has it that this house has been abandoned for decades, with no one daring to set foot inside. Locals whisper about strange lights flickering in the windows at night and eerie sounds emanating from within. Those who have braved entering the house speak of cold spots, unexplained shadows, and a feeling of dread that lingers long after they leave. Could it be that the spirits of the past still roam the halls of this forsaken home?
Next, we delve into the heart of darkness with The Chilling Encounter in the Woods. Deep in the forest, where ancient trees loom like silent sentinels, there lies a place shrouded in mystery and fear. Hikers tell tales of hearing unearthly cries echoing through the trees, of seeing shadowy figures darting between the trunks, and feeling an oppressive presence watching their every move. Some claim to have glimpsed eyes glowing in the darkness, filled with malice and hunger. Is there something sinister lurking in the depths of those woods, waiting to ensnare unsuspecting travelers?
As we venture further into the realm of terror, we come face to face with The Terrifying Urban Legend of the Black-Eyed Children. This chilling tale speaks of pale-faced children with jet-black eyes who appear out of nowhere, seeking entry into unsuspecting homes or vehicles. Their whispered requests are said to chill even the bravest souls to their core, sending shivers down their spines. Those who have encountered these otherworldly beings speak of overwhelming feelings of dread and an unshakeable sense that they are not dealing with human children but something far more sinister. Are these black-eyed children harbingers of doom or simply figments of overactive imaginations?
Our final destination takes us to the Ghostly Presence at the Abandoned Asylum. Once a place of healing and hope, this asylum now stands as a decaying monument to suffering and despair. Visitors report feeling watched by unseen eyes as they wander through its dilapidated corridors, hearing disembodied whispers carried on icy drafts and witnessing flickering lights where there should be none. Some claim to have seen apparitions dressed in tattered hospital gowns wandering aimlessly through empty rooms or felt cold fingers brush against their skin when no one is near. Is it possible that the tormented souls trapped within these walls are reaching out from beyond the grave, seeking release from their eternal torment?
So there you have it – four hair-raising stories guaranteed to send chills down your spine and make your heart race with fear. Whether you believe in ghosts and ghouls or dismiss them as mere superstition, one thing is certain – these tales will linger in your mind long after you've turned out the lights for the night.
Are you ready to brave "Creepy Corner" and explore these dark mysteries for yourself? Just remember – once you enter this world of shadows and secrets, there's no telling what horrors may await you...
