Sometimes, we just want to gather our good friends around a table and give them a good scare. While it’s possible to do that with any game, it’s easier when a game is designed with horror vibes in mind. If you’re on the hunt for those games, you’re in luck.
To celebrate the scariest month of all, Humble Bundle has been running some special deals for some truly haunting gaming experiences. Firstly, there is theCall of Cthulhubundle. The bundle offers every possible shape and option for you to encounter some Great Old Ones and suffer greatly for doing so. Alongside all the books you need to play CoC 7th Edition, there is a litany of supplemental books to boost your campaigns, includingCthulhu Dark Agesand, my beloved,Pulp Cthulhu. Maybe you’re into unique period pieces and wanna run something likeReign of TerrororBerlin The Wicked City. My suggestion? They’ve got a handful of adventures designed for one-on-one play, in case you really wanna traumatize just one friend in particular. If you’re looking for an excuse to dive into cosmic horror, this is a good way to start.
If you are looking to inflict a kind of horror that is slower burning, there’s also a deal on the 5th EditionWorld of Darknessgames. The core books you can pick up here areWerewolf: The Apocalypse,Hunter: The Reckoning, and, of course,Vampire: The Masquerade.Most of the bundle bolstersVampire, but there’s more than enough for all three, especially if you’re diving into this strange world for the first time. Have you been curious to explore the dangerous and horrific political world of Vampire clans? Want to combat against creatures far stranger than yourself to delay the end of the world? Maybe you just want to fight against creatures that are as deadly as they are killable? If you’ve ever been curious to see what all the talk is about, here’s your chance.
TheCall of Cthulhubundleis $25 for everything on offer.TheWorld of Darknessbundleruns $40 for its collection. Both bundles run until the end of October.
