History:

In 1989, a computer game called "Halloween Hypertales" appeared on one of the Apple Macintosh computers at the Technology Center of Dupage, Illinois. 

Where it originated  from is unknown. 

It only appeared on one computer on Halloween, and all trace of it was mysteriously absent  the next day.

Some tried to correlate the sudden disappearance of students every Halloween night to the game,  but this idea was dismissed by authorities as coincidence.

Over the next decade, the game appeared across many Universities, and many states, but always only on Halloween night, and always, coincidentally, when a student would go missing.

The game itself largely disappeared in the 21st Century, but now has resurfaced thanks to  scholar Nicholas Deville, who gave Quantum Sheep Archives possibly the only known copy of the game so as to make the game available to a wider audience.

So here is our archived version of *part of* the horror compilation game 'Halloween Hypertales'

We hope to port more of the game in subsequent years. Though to be honest, it's given us all huge headaches over the last couple of weeks while archiving it... we're really not feeling well over here...

Welcome, to Halloween HyperTales...

It started with the music pulling me in, and the stories were compelling, although linear and in the same direction. I liked reading them. I also enjoyed the visuals to go along with them. Good work on this.

Hey, thanks for giving this a go, and for a fun video to watch! Also, showed me some spelling/sentence mistakes that need fixing!

The hope is to add more stories every Halloween, so *eventually* it'll be something rather bigger!

Thanks again for playing it!
