If you’re looking for something spooky to play on your Windows PC or laptop this Halloween, you’re in luck. Super Rare Games today unveiled a brand new Super Rare Mixtape featuring a wide range of horror-themed indie titles.
For those unfamiliar, a Super Rare Mixtape is essentially a limited edition USB drive that comes with a carefully curated selection of 30 of the best indie games and some short demos. A handful of small bonus features, including developer audio diaries and concept art, are also included in the package.
Each Super Rare Mixtape is released in extremely limited quantities (only 1,500 copies of each version are available to the public via the Super rare website) and retails for $35.99 / £34.80. As the name suggests, the drive’s physical design imitates the look of a classic cassette tape, making it the perfect gaming gift or collectible.
The selection of games included varies dramatically between the different editions, all of which are intended to be a “showcase of pure originality and creativity, both in content and design”. However, this latest iteration follows a broad horror theme and includes a range of spine-chilling titles such as PortaBoy+, Mysteries Under Lake OpheliaAnd Digidrome.
As a fan of all kinds of whimsical flying creatures, I’m personally most looking forward to playing MOTH HOUSE – a short adventure in which you try to catch moths in a pitch-black abandoned house. There are 25 different species of moths to discover and while I’m not even afraid of the insects myself, the VHS-inspired monochrome visuals give everything a suitably sinister feel.
Diving into one of these 30 games, releasing on October 19, could be the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit.
