The Halloween Babysitter

Diogo posted pictures of The Halloween Babysitter back in October and it looked so cool, I had to grab a copy from Exalted Funeral for myself. The zine is 21 pages of gorgeous and horrific goodness. The art is phenomenal and was created in a few types of media. The zine opens with a comic that does a great job of explaining the game and setting the mood. 

For one reason or another, the the players (who are all playing children) have been taken to a home with a peculiar babysitter. They most complete or her chores or face horrific punishments. The zine gives character creation rules, stats for antagonists the children will face, background on the babysitter, and a map of the home. The game is deadly, but given that it's for a system called Squishy, that's to be expected. This feels like a partial review, because I am not familiar with Squishy so I can't tell you exactly how this game plays out. It seems that the rules are really simple and easy to pick up and it can't be too complex.

If you like Halloween or horror, I highly recommend this zine, even if you never plan on playing it. It's just a cool collector's piece and beautiful. You can grab your own copy here.
