SCRATCHES - THE CURSE OF JERRY (Patreon)

It's October, and that means spooky stuff!

I've wanted to cover this game for the longest time. I've also wanted to do a point-and-click again for less than the longest time but still a while. The last one was Blade Runner which was in January. Of 2020.

Scratches is one of those games I still have a physical copy of. The deformed jewel case in the video is a real picture of it. It feels funny because I'm 90% sure I bought it in the same Target that I bought Evil Dead: Regeneration in.

I feel like last year when doing Death Wish and Evil Dead: Regeneration, there was a lack of actual horror in the game selection. Both games were horror themed, but not exactly scary. Scratches is scary. The game that Senscape is working on now, Asylum, hopefully continues the tradition of scary adventure games. The genre of point-and-click adventure games saw a slight revival in the early-mid 2010's with Telltale's Sam and Max, Wallace and Gromit, and Back to the Future games. Then Telltale leaned hard into making games about sadistic choices after The Walking Dead did super well. I'm sorry Clem I tried so hard but I couldn't... I'm so sorry please forgive me  

Not only that, but next time we're doing a real trash game, a botched 2000's horror shooter, and I feel like I haven't done a real trash game in forever either! Not since Alpha Prime. Unless you count Hexen. Or Redneck Rampage. Or the Hellraiser game. Stay tuned until the end to see some brief thoughts on the Fallen Aces and Postal: Brain Damaged demos. Been considering making short blurbs in each video about demos that come out because everyone asks me to play them and if I dedicated videos only to demos I'd only ever be making videos about demos.
