The WereCleaner

This game is a fun game. It is a top town single player maze game that is very short. This game you basically are trying to clean up the school as a werewolf all while trying not to get caught by the staff.

If you do get caught by the staff you get to eat them and try to hide them and eat them then clean up the body and the mess that was made all while trying not to get caught.

This game is a free to play and in my opinion I would check it out if I were you since you really don’t have to pay anything for it. It reminds me of serial killer and viscera clean up since you never know what kind of messes you are going to run into the next night you work.

You also have to watch out for the security at the end, it becomes a little hectic since he is tracking you and you still end up having to clean up the building quickly and leave all while he is tracking. Other than that, this game is really fun.

Behold, the "Tangled Maze" game! (WIP)

Algorithm:

1. Rapunzel starts from a random position on the board intending to see the lanterns.

2. She faces many obstacles on the way, e.g., Gothel, Stabbington brothers, royal guards, and walls.

3. Gothel, Stabbington brothers, and guards switch positions on the board randomly at the interval of five seconds. Walls stay fixed.

4. Rapunzel can move only one step at a time unless she finds Eugene. Then she can move two steps at a time and hop over a single obstacle.

5. But if she gets caught by Gothel, Stabbington brothers, or guards, then two cases might happen:

i) If she is alone:

Case Gothel: She has to start over.

Case Stabbington brothers: she is assigned in a new random position.

Case guards: I'm not sure what to do!

ii) If she is with Eugene:

Case Gothel: Eugene dies. Rapunzel must heal him and start over.

Case Stabbington brothers: Eugene is hurt. Rapunzel must heal him and be assigned in a new random position.

Case guards: I'm not sure what to do!

6. In case of walls, she just can't move forward.

7. Rapunzel can heal Eugene only three times; if she can't do it anymore due to losing all the chances, game will be over.

8. She must find all the lights. Then, and only then, you will win!

N.B.: It's not that hard as it seems to be!

Simple 1500 Series Vol. 57 - The Maze

This article is part of our Japanese Obscurities feature. We put out a whole book about them, which is available as both a full color hardcover and a Kindle ebook from Amazon! If you’d like to see more of these features, please check out the book and if you enjoyed it, leave a five star review so we can do a follow up with even more interesting, offbeat, or historically important Japanese games!

As the name implies, the 57th volume of the Simple 1500 Series is an original game that takes place entirely within randomized mazes. Consisting entirely of 1v1 battles, each player is tasked with grabbing three keys and making it to the exit before their opponent can. The keys are color-coded and players need to grab the ones that correspond to their color in order to unlock their respective exit. However, one of the keys a player needs is always held by the opposite player at the start, forcing them to interact in every match. To aid in their mission, each player has melee attacks, a bazooka for slow ranged attacks, and an item menu that lets them place traps and use/drop items they’ve found. It’s possible to knock out the other player, especially if you can lure them into an explosive trap, but doing so is only a minor setback, so traps that waste their time like sticky slime puddles generally have more impact.

If Pazuzu Sneezes Do You Still Say Bless You?

Season 6 Featured on: The SiIvaGunner Party Pack 7

Credited to "Anonymous Andy"

Part of Spooktacular Week!

Would you believe me if I said, for all that I've posted this week (and for the two rips still to be posted) - THIS was the one I was the most excited about? And, as you may have noticed - nobody submitted it as a request beforehand either! Somehow this absolute gem of a rip, one I only discovered earlier this month, and partially inspired me to even DO a spooky week, still sits at barely 15K views! Anonymous Andy, whoever you are, it's time I make you proud.

Yesterday, I talked about Sidelined Symphony and mentioned briefly about how it creatively tied itself to Halloween through using a song by YouTuber Chills (who, i forgot to mention anywhere in that post - reads scary stories on his YouTube channel). If Pazuzu Sneezes Do You Still Say Bless You?, then, sits at the complete opposite end of the table - it celebrates everything thats LOUDLY and proudly scary on YouTube, in particular one of the cornerstones of old YouTube - screamer videos.

You've all seen them at one point or another, right? Innocent looking, obscure, weird videos or even flash games that, just as you try to get invested, slam the door on you with a loud jumpscare and some sort of grotesque or scary imagery. These came in all sorts of forms - I remember my first exposure to them came in the form of a fake Mario Kart Wii shortcut video on Daisy Circuit. But there were loads of more popular ones: The "Scary Maze Game", "Ghost Car", the fake game of "Where's Waldo", and so much more. With the internet and many of its users still in its infancy, online horror media had this sense of complete mystery to them, that caught so many young kids off guard. If Pazuzu Sneezes Do You Still Say Bless You? is a YTPMV, or more accurately a 音MAD, that boldly celebrates this culture of online horror screamers - sampling several of the above-mentioned sources and more into a tune I cannot get enough of.

And part of that is just the Yousuke Yasui magic, right? I've covered it already on here with Siiva Lining and 【＝３】e-MUNO Disco (vs. 音MAD AGENT), the latter similarly being a YTPMV/音MAD of another song from the very same game as today's rip. The guy's music is just so infectiously catchy, and has had a long history of being remixed on NicoNico Douga in particular - something I obviously can't quite speak to as someone who hasn't ever really explored the site's history. Althesame, the Japanese-internet roots of If Pazuzu Sneezes Do You Still Say Bless You? are inescapable - one of the pieces of media most prominently featured in its visuals is the Japanese browser-based horror game Lomando.com, a rabbithole I would love to fall into someday, yet one that simple oozes the charm of early-internet horror much like all the screamers of young YouTube.

And really, that charm is what sells me on this rip as a whole. Screamers of this type are a relic of a bygone age, yet one that I was part of - a piece of internet history that I got to see be born and slowly fade away, as the internet became more closely moderated and people learned to watch for warning signs throughout. For as many nightmares as the ones I saw instilled in me, there's something oddly nostalgic about them in hindsight - and that nostalgia just turns to full-on warmth seeing them arranged to such a cheerful tune as Bless You! boy. If Pazuzu Sneezes Do You Still Say Bless You? is, on all fronts, a TOP-tier YTPMV/音MAD, right alongside the best the channel has to offer like those by Robomi and GramBam36.

Game #2: Dreader

Dreader by Donitz is a short point and click style horror game reminiscent of the maze game where all you have to do is move your cursor through a tight maze while something or someone is watching you

Game tags: horror, point and click, cursor game, first person

TW's: Flashing lights, photosensitive imagery, derealization

Platforms: Web exclusive

Notes: easier to play with a mouse but touchscreen isn't impossible

[retrogamingloft]

The game prides itself on being the inaugural Doraemon title for a home system. Yet, truthfully, it feels more like a lackluster Route 16 knock-off. The primary issue lies in the unpredictably lethal passages—no chance to know the safe path, leading to inevitable lives lost in trial and error. This disheartens, making you strive to at least conquer the initial loop to end the gameplay.

It's regrettable because I adore Route 16, and the prospect of essentially playing it with the addition of Doraemon was thrilling. However, the incessant loss of lives due to uncontrollable randomness breeds immense frustration. Sure, the take-copter aids in salvaging some lives and slightly improves looping chances, but that's the extent of it. It's not about competitive play; it's about sheer survival until it's no longer feasible.

On the surface, the game offers three difficulty levels. The hardest (this one) features four fast mice as adversaries, but again, not enough to pose a threat, at least not in the first loop. As mentioned, the core issue lies elsewhere.

In Ms. Pac-Man, if you insert a credit on the marquee attract screen before any ghosts appear, your first maze/life will be purple-walled instead of orange!
