    • 2024 October 3, CARY, “Spooktober: The Horror that Surrounds”, in VIRTUAL BASTION‎[1]:
      In developing a new theme for this year’s rounds of Spooktober posts, we decided to look beyond the realm of strictly horror games to cover a topic that we hadn’t touched on before, one that encompasses games generally and allows for a little “outside the box” thinking. Our Spooktober theme this year is “The Horror that Surrounds.”
