Mobile App ‘Goosebumps: HorrorTown’ Puts You in Charge of R.L. Stine’s Monsters!
R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps monsters have come to haunt your phone!
Launching May 30, the new mobile app Goosebumps: HorrorTown is essentially the Goosebumps version of The Sims, putting you in charge of your very own town and filling it with your favorite monsters from Stine’s books. Or, if you’d prefer, you can play as humans to defend the town from monsters like Slappy and the Haunted Mask!
Pixowl today announced the opening of pre-registration for the upcoming launch of HorrorTown, a character-driven simulation game where players will build and populate a town with scary monsters, on the App Store and Google Play.
“Based on R.L. Stine’s hit “Goosebumps” horror series and licensed by Scholastic, the game will take players to HorrorTown to build and manage a quirky town, collect iconic monsters, frighten hapless humans, unlock compelling human characters, and undertake scary missions where young townsfolk spy on monsters to try to figure out what’s going on in their town.”
“Players will build a town and fill it with over 50 signature scary monsters from the series, including Slappy the ventriloquist dummy, Curly the skeleton, the Mummy, Murder the Clown, the Phantom, and even the Lawn Gnomes! Players take on dual roles: gathering a scary assortment of sinister creatures to terrify townsfolk and playing as humans to defend against the monsters by investigating monster activity and exploring the map to unlock new areas and adventures. As monsters, players can scare humans to obtain materials and add new creatures, while as humans they can gather resources, craft items, and spy on the monsters.”

During the Future Games Show, Bandai Namco and Supermassive have announced the first DLC for Little Nightmares III in “The Backstage”. Featuring new puzzles and challenges, this additional content will take players to the darkest part of the Carnevale, where they’ll meet a new character and face new perils. You won’t have to wait long to get it, either, as Little Nightmares III – The Backstage DLC will release on June 12.
In this new adventure, Low will meet Dime, a new child who wears a torch hat, which turns out to be a very helpful tool for finding their way in what lies beneath the curtains of The Carnevale. The two children will have to face new threats and use their light to find a way to save Alone from the hands of the Puppeteer.
In the original game, players meet Low and Alone, who are trapped within the Spiral, a cluster of disturbing places. The two will have to work together to survive in a dangerous world full of delusions. As they scamper and shelter on their journey to escape the grasp of an even greater threat, their senses may also lead them astray into the shadows.
Little Nightmares III is currently available for PC via Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
