We haven’t gotten into a lot of scary games this spooky season on Indie-licious, but that’s to not say there aren’t some frightfully good indie titles out there this season, including The Fabulous Fear Machine. Fear is in the mind, isn’t it? Well we’re going to help move the hearts and minds along with a device that places urban legends where they will affect the most people. Can we harness the energy of fear and become an unstoppable force?

The Fabulous Fear Machine comes to us from the developers at Fictiorama Games. The game launched on October 4, 2023 and is currently only available on PC. In this game, you stumble upon the titular fear machine, a fortune teller arcade machine with the power to incite fear as you command it to. By placing spooky legends where they will most flourish in the world, you power up the machine with the fear of the masses. Just beware: other forces are at work that are looking to thwart you.

Join us as we play The Fabulous Fear Machine on today’s spooky episode of the Indie-licious ShackStream, going live at 2:15 p.m. PT / 5:15 p.m. ET on the Shacknews Twitch channel. You  can also watch below.
