Halloween is a time for remembering and praying for the dead. But it is also a celebration of the dead, with pumpkin carving, costume parties, and trick or treating becoming a way of life.

Sisters
If you can turn your smartphone into a basic virtual reality set (with Google Cardboard), one of the games that you must check out is Sisters. It puts you into the heart of the story where you are alone in a spooky house with a storm knocking out the electricity. Suddenly, things start happening.
Windows open and crows fly in, dolls that were on the mantle mysteriously disappear and you hear spine chilling noises that appear to be coming from some young girls. You suspect someone is just behind you but trust yourself to never look back. Or else…
Sisters is a short game, almost like a demo, but its extremely effective in keeping the suspense alive and finally freaking you out as you face the ghost and the sisters who are haunting the place.
