Celebrate Spooky Season With These Upcoming Netflix Games Titles

Netflix, a CNET Editors’ Choice Award pick, is virtually synonymous with streaming TV shows and movies. On top of letting you stream shows like Black Mirror and Stranger Things, your subscription gives you access to a library of mobile games you can play on your iOS or Android device. 

In October, Netflix Games is adding two spooky games for you to play in time for Halloween. Both will be added to Netflix’s gaming library throughout the month, but exact dates aren’t yet known. 

Here are the titles Netflix Games is adding in October.

Dead Cells: Netflix Edition

Dead Cells, the award winning roguelike platformer, is bringing its action to Netflix. You might object that it isn’t really a horror or Halloween-themed game, but it does have “dead” in the title (and you’ll die… a lot). In this game, your character has to fight through creatures and dungeons to slay the king. And if your character dies, no worries, it’s all part of the experience. Death unlocks more powers for your character and allows you to learn the right pattern to defeat your enemies. There’s a reason the game’s tagline is “Kill, die, learn, repeat.”

Slayaway Camp: Netflix and Kill

This Netflix Games exclusive is a puzzle title where you take control of a killer named Skullface — naturally. Skullface is loose at a summer camp, and like any good killer at a summer camp, he kills camp counselors in myriad ways, like squishing and decapitating them. It’s your job to slide Skullface around the stage to get rid of the camp counselors in as few moves as possible. 

Here’s how you can access games in Netflix’s library.
