- The game features double outlanes on the left side
- Voice cast includes Frank Welker, Matthew Lillard, Kate Micucci, and Gray Griffin
Notable quotes
“They're being cute with it.”
“I'm worried about a lot of the choices in this game, not necessarily due to the choices themselves, so much as due to Spooky's quality control issues.”
“I don't personally like to play most wide bodies very much... even people like pat lawler who have made some fairly popular wide bodies like Twilight Zone in particular, who have since commentated saying that it's not a healthy practice to use wide bodies, that it doesn't help the design process.”
“The problem of what to do with the space is solved whether or not it's enjoyable you know remains to be [seen]”
“I think it wasn't necessarily the best of design choices... I also worry, like with the crossbow on Walking Dead. Anything that's up in that area, I always worry about having issues with it breaking and stuff. And like I said before, stuff breaking on a spooky game is the rule.”
