R.L. Stine's GOOSEBUMPS Is Getting a Point and Click Video Game
In conjunction with the upcoming Goosebumps movie being released in October, Xbox officially/unofficially announced that there will be a new Goosebumps game released the same month. They haven’t come out and said that the game is on its way; however, the game has appeared in the Xbox Store, complete with screenshots. Here is the description that's listed on the Xbox Store.
"The walk home from school today is going to be a lot spookier than usual… Your sleepy neighborhood’s been overrun by monsters! Werewolves prowl the woods, Gnomes roam underfoot, and scarecrows walk at midnight. But these aren’t ordinary monsters—they’re R.L. Stine’s famous Goosebumps monsters, released from their books and looking to wreak havoc!
"You’ll need to use your wits to investigate the surroundings, puzzle out clues, and outsmart the monsters before it’s too late! Survive a trek through your neighborhood, unravel the mysteries of the Dead House, and sneak through the mall after hours; only then can you confront Slappy and stop his plans for revenge!"
Unfortunately, I was too old for the target demographic of Goosebumps, but my younger cousin would regularly read them to me. It was a great series. I was a particular fan of Slappy the Dummy. For any of you who grew up on these books during the '90s, though, I'm sure this is going to be a real treat for you.
The game is scheduled to come out on October 14th to Xbox and — I am assuming — other platforms.
