Welcome to the inaugural Horror Treats, Release Roundup – serving you a cauldron of terrifying digital titles for your purchasing pleasure.
As much as I love publishing horror content, I enjoy consuming it even more. And why not spread the results of some of my grim pickings?
February 2020 was filled with some delightfully creepy content certain to send shivers down your game-loving spine. Across a variety of systems, titans of horror like Chaosium and Onyx Path as well as Indie and first time publishers delivered quite a few terrifying products meant to unravel the mind. If you’re up for a bit of sanity loss, by all means take a gander at some of these Horror Titles released last month – if you dare!
(I love high production quality releases, but I also love small and indie creators, especially first time pubbies, so here are 10 big time (professional publishers), indie (fairly established 3rd party/’best-seller’ shops) and solo (new or ‘home’ press) titles, by no means the only horror titles that got released in February, but ones that I had a particular fondness for)
