Everyone is out to get you ALSO SPECIAL PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Before I post more free video games: AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT THAT CONCERNS ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE

How the hell can I do the SPOOKATHON if I'm getting pushed out by Christmas already?

These have been up for sale since mid-way through September. This is a regular supermarket, not a department store doing a clearance sale or one of those obnoxious holiday stores that sells ornaments 24/7/365 . Christmas sale fever starts earlier and earlier every year, and eventually it will be Christmas shopping season all year round. And unless the robots get us first, that’ll be when society starts to collapses. So you best start preparing for that.

Either civilization explodes before we make robots or the robots do it for us

Now back to your regularly scheduled SPOOKATHON programming. The game I have for you today is another short but sweet scary game, called Hide. It was made by a dude called Andrew Shouldice back in July of 2011 as part of the “Super Friendship Club’s Justice Pageant”.

Its like that Robert Frost poem, but there will be no stopping, only running

The goal of the game is to find five different locations in the game world while running and hiding in a first person perspective from shadowy things with flashlights you cant quite make out, and as you find these locations the search for you intensifies. Between the weird pixilated look, and the awesome sound work, Hide has some style to it if you’re looking for that. If nothing else, this game might help you practice running and hiding from serial killers, so theres that.

You know what this needs? Dueling banjos.

You can snag Hide either here or here
