Warp Door's October 2015 Round-up
October is mostly known for its final day: Halloween. As expected, there was no shortage of small games made for the occasion. Yes, our round-up of the last month includes goofy skeletons, eerie coffins, and lost ghosts.
But it's not all witches and rituals and the like. There's a reverie at the office and a story set inside a recreation of an IM client. Have a browse through our selection below. And if you want to find more convenient collections such as this check out our round-up tag.
