But don’t worry, the developers implemented a feature to make sure you couldn’t even put the controller down without getting a new fright.

If you try to give yourself a breather from falling broken neck lady ghosts and tiny twin grudge girl looking ghosts you’ll find yourself thoroughly punished.

Depending on the entry you’re playing you might get horrifying flickering demonic visuals, frantic whispering, or disembodied crying. It’s enough to make your skin crawl while you were innocently trying to refresh your drink.
