Goosebumps: The Game

Greatest game ever made

I liked the way the puzzles were set up. The nice graphics were good, and the way the characters were animated was creative. However, the game is quite short and gets quite repetitive quickly.

I remember enjoying the goosebumps books as a child but could remember anything about them before playing this game. Enjoyed the game more than I thought.

i love the writing

What a bad game. you pick up so many useless items. It ends abruptly. There were so many places that went nowhere. Some puzzles made no sense. One in particular literally halted the progress of the game.

The art was nice. That's about it.

Peak Fiction

Great game, captures the lore and feel of goosebumps. If only we'd get another one

fun, easy and a nostalgic point-click game. brought back memories from one of my fav childhood book series. will definitely replay to get all achievements!

its good . not worth the 10 dollars tho but i got the game on sale which was 99 cents

Player beware, you're in for a scare! *Dog barking noises in background*

While there's so much going for this game (artwork, storyline, nostalgia), I can't recommend it because of the bonkers puzzles. There is no logic to the majority of them and this is game is impossible to get through without a walkthrough. Frustrating!

Great game. As a Goosebumps fan I was very pleased with how much of the art was reminiscent of the source material. It really felt like walking through a world drawn by Tim Jacobus (because he did draw the world). I was surprised by the sheer amount of options, paths and achievements. For a point and click game that isn't really popular, I was pleasantly surprised by the thought and care that was put into this game.

In conclusion, if you are a fan of Goosebumps or even a fan of point and click games and you've got some money and time to spare, this is not a bad use of that time. I have 100%'d the game after 8.2 hours and it was a very enjoyable experience.

A childhood game of mine! not very long in terms of game play, but definitely a very fun and atmospheric point + click with a killer soundtrack. If you liked reading the books, this is a REALLY cool way to kill a couple of hours

Players Beware, You're In for A Scare!

Fall may not be officially over yet (I would say it is, given how cold it is outside, and it’s now December, but I wanted to end the season on a good note. Scouring through my library, I found a game I have loved ever since it was released, dealing with a franchise so closely tied to my childhood.

It’s a typical day for us; we just got out of school, and we’re ready to make our way home. However, this walk through our sleepy neighborhood is going to turn out more spookier than any other day. Monsters have decided to run amok and take over our town! Werewolves, ghosts, living dummies, gnomes, monster’s blood, and so many more horrors. Although, upon closer inspection, these monsters aren’t any ordinary ones. They are from the Goosebumps books written by R.L. Stine. What are they doing out of their books, and can we put a stop to them before it's too late?

I remember playing this back in 2015 before the new movie's release, which I was really excited about at the time. What I thought was really cool about this game was that it acted as a prequel to the first film, helping give an idea of what Jack Black’s R.L. Stine went through prior. As a Goosebumps fan for years, I adore this game. Growing up, I watched the original TV series more than I read the books, but I am starting to revisit the books. The gameplay is pretty straightforward; it’s a point-and-click adventure game with some puzzle-solving. The game is essentially a video game version of a Give Yourself Goosebumps book where you decide what happens to the character, including a chance of running into the monsters. There are a couple moments that can be seen as intense, like when you are being chased after by Monster Blood, or even moving through dark hallways, full of red-eyed gnomes. One aspect I love about this is that the game is full of references to the various books from over the years, plus the achievements are named after several books, too. In addition to this, the art style is stunning to look at. I even saw someone say it reminded them of the covers for the books, and I have to agree.

I will warn people that some of the puzzles could be tedious and difficult, especially one where you have to develop a photograph. That one requires a good amount of patience. Plus, later on, Cronby the Troll will ask you to solve a riddle and hand him an item matching the description. It can all be a little tricky, but nothing too bad. If you have knowledge of the books, the puzzles can be easier. Other than that, as a lifelong fan, I have and always will love this game!

5 out of 5 ★★★★★!

Classic point and click adventure game. It is good but I find it a bit difficult and can be confusing at some points.

this game gave me goosebumps

A very nostalgic game for me, I went through and got all the achievements. It's definitely worth the $10.

phone died before dicovering mall and game softlocked
otherwise a good experience

upd. big thanks to Karzon for an advice how to fix a problem

Fun little game about Goosebumps books, never read them as a kid but this game made me interested in the series.

Player beware - You're in for a scare!

i love all the goosebumps references with the items and the descriptions. if you're looking for a goosebumps games this one has got it in spades.

This is an amazing game that remains very faithful to the original source material. It is a point and click hidden object puzzle game, that has simple gameplay that doesn't overstay it's welcome. The art in the game is one of it's best aspects and is reminiscent to the 1990's goosebumps book covers. The gameplay is simple but it doesn't need to be too overly complex. I admit, the game isn't scary, but it makes up for it with very clever and rewarding puzzles. The OST of the game is phenomenal and one of the best parts of the game. The game mostly stays faithful to the books, but some of the puzzles don't make sense if you have read the books. There are a couple things wrong with the game, however. One of the examples is a certain puzzle in the game, if you can even call it a puzzle. Basically, the puzzle has you develop a photograph, which is long and tedious, and has you wait 3 real life minutes. Also, the game is piss easy and most of the jumpscares aren't scary. Also, I think there isn't enough content in the game to justify a $10 price tag, but luckily the game is on sale for 99 cents most of the time, which is when I bought the game. Overall, the game is very well made and is perfect to relive the classic goosebumps books.
