What players say
The game is really fun, unfortunately there are a couple of bugs probably because its such an old game. I do suggest playing at 60/59Hz because the bugs can cause your game to crash and you can lose your progress if any higher. Also make sure to run the game in windowed mode if you get stuck in the main menu

Such a cute and fun game for anyone who loves Halloween and just wants a game to play while you zone out and relax.
The perfect nostalgic game for Halloween! I played this game back in 2010 and never finished it and always regretted it. The gameplay was just as fun as I had remembered. It has a rhythm to it with combining the right cards and costumes together, so it can make it a nice challenge. Highly recommend it if you want some spooky gameplay this October.
