The highly-praised Hollow Knight has a mysterious atmosphere that sets the perfect eerie tone for Halloween. 

You play as a nameless insect knight as he uncovers ancient secrets and mysteries of the kingdom Hallownest. Because it is a Metroidvania, one of the highlights of the game is its sense of exploration and environment, and its areas are full of strange caverns and creatures.

The dark themes of the game, both physically and thematically, give it a strong association with Halloween (not to mention the fact that there are bugs everywhere in the game…creepy!). 

If you end up enjoying Hollow Knight, you might be interested in knowing that the developers have announced that a sequel is in the works
