How about adding some asian vibe to Halloween this year ? Indonesian ghosts are creepy, cuddly and may be banished through flash photography - if you can find their weak spots.

Depths Of Fear Double Colon Knossos is a first-person Rogue-like developed by a one-man studio. It's also a true diamond in the rough, with low-poly models and clunky animations that only add to the strong atmosphere of mystery and danger that emanates from its procedurally-generated levels.
