Ultimately, the game was terrifying, spooky, and – not so surprisingly – chalk-full of jump scares. These aspects, however are never fully explained. There are also large computers which give an overview of the various “specimens” (monsters), and references that Spooky may be in charge of some scientific research facility. Throughout the rooms, a scattering of notes can be found, telling the story of another individual who was once trapped in the house.

There is clearly an attempt at some sort of backstory. The only area where the game lacks is story – not that we need much to enjoy the gameplay. Can you survive 1000 rooms of cute terror Or will you break once the cuteness starts to fade off and your running for your life from the unspeakable hideous beings that shake and writhe in bowels of this house They wait for you, they wait and hunger for meeting you. Trying to figure out the references added another layer of fun to the game. These allow the player to take a break from the tension while playing macabre versions of racing games, PacMan, and fighting games. All Reviews: Positive (24) Release Date: Jul 27, 2015.

Is there other ways to change it < > Showing 1-4 of 4 comments. This is additional content for Spookys Jump Scare Mansion, but does not include the base game.

There are also references to non-horror video games, with mini arcade games randomly appearing in certain rooms. I dislike playing games on fullscreen, but there is no option to change from fullscreen to windowed on spookys house of jumpscares in the options. While delving deeper into the house, you go through areas themed like “Silent Hill”, “Amnesia”, “Alice”, and even more.

The most clever aspect of the game is how the creators weave in references to other iconic horror games.
