I’m not so much concerned with the gore or being too scary, it’s the slowness of the SH games that I don’t have the patience for right now. I’m not looking for a game I need to spend hours immersing myself into, I’m hoping to find some fun games I can jump into for 20 minutes at a time.
Ghost n Goblins is a good call, although I’m terrible at that game. I’ll definitely need to checkout Rusty, I’ve played all the Castlevania games so Rusty sounds perfect.
MedEvil definitely fits my criteria, although I find that game too clunky. There’s a new(ish) game called Pumpkin Jack which was heavily inspired by MedEvil but uses more modern game mechanics. It’s a fun one.
Luigi’s Mansion leans a bit too far into the cutesy/silly territory for me, but it’s definitely a good choice.
I didn’t realize Dead By Daylight had a bunch of characters from various horror franchises, that’s really cool! I think I’m probably more likely to play Left4Dead if I wanted an action-y spooky multiplayer game but I’ll definitely give Dead By Daylight more attention.
I’ve never heard of Pascal’s Wager and the reviews on steam don’t look great, but I’ll look into it.
