Burger & Frights

In Burger & Frights, players find themselves on a nocturnal quest for a burger, necessitating a bike ride through a shadowy forest. This PS1-style horror game taps into a simple premise: you’re hungry and the only thing between you and your late-night snack is a potentially haunted forest. As players pedal deeper into the woods, the game’s atmosphere thickens, crafted with low-poly visuals and eerie soundscapes that pay homage to classic horror settings. Each pedal stroke draws players further from safety and deeper into an unknown darkness that seems to watch their every move.

As the Night Unfolds

The cycling journey becomes increasingly surreal with every loop through the forest. The game employs a repetitive cycle, where each trip down the road reveals subtle changes that escalate the tension. Trees might shift places, or strange figures might appear in the periphery—each cycle designed to unsettle and disturb. The mechanics are straightforward—pedal, steer, and look around—but the challenge lies in maintaining composure as the forest subtly warps around you.

This game, influenced by both vintage games and classic horror films, uses its technical simplicity to its advantage, creating a sense of isolation and vulnerability. With every new loop, the forest grows more aggressive and unpredictable. Players must keep their focus, managing their nerves and their need to reach the burger joint that seems ever just out of reach. The journey tests the player’s resolve to push forward or succumb to the creeping dread that this ride might never end.
