Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store all kicked off their Halloween sales yesterday, and they all have really good deals on really good games. But if you're in the mood for something a little off the beaten path, you might also want to take a minute or two to check out the "Halloween Sale Picks" over at Itch.io.
Itch.io leans more toward fringier, "super-indie" games than the other platforms, so there's not a lot to see in the way of big-budget stuff. (Okay, basically nothing at all.) But there's still plenty of goodness to be had, such as:
- Rusty Lake Hotel - $1.50 (25 percent off)
- Catlateral Damage - $2.50 (75 percent off)
- Thumper - $10 (50 percent off)
- Russian Subway Dogs - $12 (20 percent off)
- Spacebase DF-9 - $2.50 (75 percent off)
- Day of the Tentacle Remastered - $6 (60 percent off)
- All Walls Must Fall - $7 (30 percent off)
- Speed Dating for Ghosts - $5 (50 percent off)
There's also a new Itch.io Selects bundle for Halloween on the table, with five games—WitchWay, Helping Hand, The Shrouded Isle, Monolith, and The Darkside Detective—going for $11. Itch.io's Halloween sale runs until 10 am PT on November 1.
