Solo developer Niklas Hallin is serving up a Halloween surprise with the release of October Panic, a wacky, fast-paced arcade platformer, available on Steam from October 22nd, 2024. This indie drop comes hot off the heels of Alruna and the Necro-Industrialists. With its pixel art style, electro-swing tunes, and nods to classic horror films, October Panic promises a fun scare fest.
“Think The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown meets Monster Mash,” says Hallin. It’s a Halloween party packed into an hour-long, arcade-style adventure for just 3 bucks!
In October Panic, players take on the role of young trick-or-treater October, battling through waves of spooky enemies – from witches and werewolves to slasher killers and undead newlyweds – all in a quest to stop Rita the Re-animator’s sinister experiments. With no save points, players must complete the game in one go, facing over 30 unique enemies across 5 haunting levels. Panic!!
October Panic Features:
No saving or loading. Play through the game in one go!
5 Halloween Monster Masks to pick up and wear, unlocking unique abilities.
