Halloween in Walnut Creek.
It's Halloween night in the small town of Walnut Creek. All the other children are dressed up, and playing in the streets, all except one.
A young boy named Charlie sits under his sheets, shaking in his socks at the very thought of what could be outside. See for him, this is the worst night of the year. The night when all ghosts and ghouls and things that go bump in the night come out to play.
"Charlie! Taco has run off down the street again, can you go get him?" wails his mother from down the hall.
"Oh dear..." mumbles Charlie.
Halloween in Walnut Creek is a horror mystery game, with a light-hearted twist.
Played from the perspective of an 8 year old boy, Charlie must wander the terrifying streets of Walnut Creek, avoiding monsters, witches, and spooky scary skeletons. All to find his beloved dog, Taco.
All Charlie has to defend himself from the horrors that wander these frightening streets are his flashlight, a sturdy bicycle helmet, and his never ending love for his dog.
"Taco! Where are you?"
Gameplay:
You must navigate Charlie through the streets of Walnut Creek and interact with other humans in order to figure out where Taco has run off to.
Although Charlie is a brave kid, this is his worst nightmare. Therefore, if Charlie fails to avoid the approaching horrors of the night, he will faint.
After fainting three times, a neighbour will call his mother and he will get picked up, losing the chance to save Taco.
