How it feels

Playing The Creepy Syndrome feels like being subjected to a unnerving therapy session through a series of eerie, retro-styled video games that probe your psyche.

What players say

Players describe The Creepy Syndrome as a mixed anthology of four short horror games framed by a therapy session. Some find the pixel art charming but the stories uneven, with one chapter clearly the best. A few call the jump scares cheap and the gameplay minimal, while others enjoy the multiple endings and short playtime.
