Critic Reviews for Goosebumps: Terror in Little Creek

Still, with the campaign running for around four or five hours, this is a breezy experience that repurposes many of the main elements from the horror genre for kids. The art direction is a bit bland and it certainly won’t entertain anyone above the age of 15, but as a spooky experience for young’uns there are some scrappy spooks on offer here.

Ultimately, Goosebumps: Terror in Little Creek succeeds as a gateway horror game. It isn't designed to terrify; instead, it captures the feeling of kids pushing past their curfew, sticking their noses where they don't belong, and discovering something just a little too strange. While adults may find the gameplay easy and the scares mild, younger players (and parents looking for something spooky, but safe) will likely find it just right. With its mix of exploration, light puzzle-solving, and approachable scares, this game feels like Goosebumps brought to life in the way it always should have been. If PHL Collective gets a chance to expand on these ideas in a sequel, the future of Goosebumps games looks brighter, and creepier, than ever.

Much like the Halloween horrors Goosebumps: Terror in Little Creek is based on, it’s a mixed goody bag of treats, yet more often than not, tricks. This potential classic is plagued with repetitive gameplay based on a thirty year old ancient foundation, and “puzzles” that rarely take much thought.

Is Goosebumps: Terror in Little Creek as good as Resident Evil or Silent Hill? Of course not, but it's a valiant attempt at bringing the survival horror genre to a younger generation — or the wimps of an older generation. It's a surprisingly enjoyable romp, filled with light scares, tense exploration and some solid puzzles.

Goosebumps: Terror in Little Creek is a kid-friendly adventure with a few weird design choices related to the puzzles and combat, but ultimately, it’s quirky and charming enough to be blasted through, whether you’re a pre-teen or an adult who has fond memories of the iconic book series by R. L. Stine. I certainly had my fun with it, and would recommend it to those seeking a horror game that’s ideal for a younger audience.

Goosebumps: Terror in Little Creek may not reinvent the genre, but it hits the mark. It captures the spirit of R.L. Stine’s books with a solid story and a well-balanced mix of exploration, puzzles, and action. While the technical side isn’t flawless, the experience remains smooth and enjoyable. With full Italian localization and an accessible plot, it’s a great entry point into survival horror for younger players. Faithful to its source and delivering just the right amount of chills, it’s a solid pick for fans or those seeking a lighter horror adventure.
