“Crossing Souls”: A Childhood RPG by Fourattic
Amazing Cartoon Art Sold Separately!
The moment I laid eyes on this trailer I knew I had to have it. The beginning evokes the same feeling I got the first time I saw "Dragon’s Lair" being played.

“Five Nights at Freddy’s 2”
The Bear Is out for Blood ... Again!
“Five Nights at Freddy’s,” the first game in the series, was a pleasant surprise for the horror genre. The Chuck E.
