    A greedy price tag, poor performance and an incredibly short campaign make Goosebumps: Dead of Night more likely to be dead on arrival. It's a shame, because it's a well-constructed and entertaining lite survival horror adventure that's probably perfect for kids. Even then, we'd recommend either waiting for a deep, deep sale, or simply renting the excellent 2015 movie. There's a lot to like here, but unfortunately, it's buried under a lot of ugliness. Much like, say... a scary ghoul! Wooooo! Or something.

    I wasn’t ready for this.
    This game is actually good..
    Goosebumps Dead of Night is a 2 and a half hour long babys first survival horror game and I cant believe Im saying this, but this is one of the most enjoyable horror games I’ve played this year.
    The game is based loosly on the 2015 goosebumps movie staring jack black, here youre tasked with at first running around this mansion in searh of 10 pages to put slappy back inside, youre told to look everywhere, cuppboards, closets, bookshelves.. and you do just that.. at first dodging a mummy, but as you get closer and closer to finishing the book more monster are introduced like these annoying gnomes that steal your pages and run, a clown that attacks you if youre in the dark for too long.. this section of the game makes up the majority.. and it is a thrill.. so many jumpscares and goofy yet terrifying moments… I felt the joy of walking through a haunted house… I was enjoying every moment. .and then I got to the basement..
    one of the most annoying sections in a game ive every played… im going to save you the pain, throw the gnomes at him.. I don’t care if thats spoiling the puzzle of this section, alternate univers you is thanking me for that… and then its onto a section of gathering engredients, laser puzzles, a maze in a lab…
    the game is so perfectly paced, you get excited to solve problems because of the pacing… it does a great job at narrating as you play so you know what to do or what to be looking for.. even what room to look for the item in.. my only complaint other than the basement is running, you get to run for 2 sections and youre out of breath.. 1 making the gnomes annoying, and 2 making the final 2 sections feel annoying as youre dealing with gummy bears and flying witches..
    I would love to see a series of games based off of individual goosebumps books..
    Dead of Night is a pleasant surprise and worth picking up.
