Okay, look, yes, this game is utterly ridiculous. It's the kind of early 90s time capsule that feels like a weird fever dream to look back on. Its reception upon its release was mixed and highly controversial due to its perceived violence. However, if you want a home invasion horror game that'll give you one hell of a memorable time, then you want Night Trap!

This interactive movie tells the story of five girls who spend the weekend at a getaway house which, unbeknownst to them, is infested with vampires. As their sleepover turns into a cavalcade of chaos, you (as a member of the Special Control Attack Team) attempt to save them by setting off traps around the house and observing the events through live surveillance cameras.

The game is a delightfully wacky and goofy experience that throws all the campy goodness of B-movie horror right into your face. The acting, costumes, humour and violence all have a cheap charm that makes the game a ton of fun. Additionally, the use of live-action actors provides a unique edge that gives you a direct line into the innovation of 90s entertainment.
