About this game
Join the three skelebros -Lefti, Midi, and Righti- on a grand road trip through the cutesy world of the dead. After realizing they wasted their lives watching horror movies, they decide to embark on a big adventure.
Spanning across 4 episodes released separately, each containing 3 chapters with their own area, microgames, mechanics, and story!
Meet all sorts of boney folk and get into heaps of trouble. Before you know it, you'll be well on your way to solving a murder mystery on a cruise ship or starting a high school band to skip out on class.
Challenge yourself with a wide collection of blazing-fast microgames themed around horror tropes. Featuring over a hundred microgames you're sure to get shaken to your bones!
Each game takes only a few seconds, so you'll have to use your wits to survive the onslaught of wildly different blood-curling games. From frantically decapitating some poor guy's head to filing your taxes, the horror never ends!
The very first episode of SPOOKWARE features 60+ microgames scattered over 3 chapters and a prologue. Each chapter features new mechanics, its own story, and an area to explore littered with skele-folk to throw awful jokes at. Episode 1 has an estimated playtime of 5 to 6 hours.
If you're feeling up to the challenge, try and beat every microgame at least once to add them to your collection. You can even remix them together in an ultimate endless mode that just keeps getting faster! Spooky!
Each microgame is carefully interwoven within the story. Each area features completely new gameplay mechanics to test your microgame skills. Even going as far as changing up control schemes!
One moment you'll be puzzling away at brain-teasing microgames with your mouse, another you'll be mashing your keys to the beat of rhythm-based microgames. Don't worry, the game has full controller support as well.
Features to Expect from All 4 Episodes:
- 200+ hand-crafted, blood-pumping, horror-inspired microgames.
- 4 episodes featuring over a dozen beautiful areas to explore in the land of the dead.
- Play as 3 adorable skeleton brothers Lefti, Midi, and Righti.
- Unique mechanics for every area, from rhythm to puzzle games.
- Remix all your unlocked microgames for the ultimate challenge.
- At least 7 skeleton puns.

Very cute but nearly impossible to complete on a steam deck without connecting a keyboard.

I think you can reduce this game to a word: "Charm". Charming characters, charming music, charming microgames. Of course there's a lot of inspiration from WarioWare but even the non-microgames bits are funny enough because the game is made in such a way that it makes you appreciate the characters and the mundane things they do. The neverending parodies of horror movies and such are also pretty fun. So this games makes a love letter to both WarioWare AND the horror genre. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Warioware for PC (but better)

Sppokware is a Warioware style game where you are presented with minigames and no real instructions. Very enjoyable and a bit more edgier than Nintendo's family friendly version.

Spookware is an awesome horror game that mixes scary and funny stuff. It looks cute and the gameplay is fun. Fun to play and fun to watch. There are lots of different spooky challenges. If you want a leisurely game for game nights, Spookware is a good choice.

Spookware is a collection of mini games with story and exploring, where you playing as 3 skeleton brothers, who watched lot of movies throughout their time and they want to explore the world and experience new things with the help of their movie knowledge.
Spookware looks unique: it's like a 3D cartoon, where the characters and the world made from papier mache. Most of the mini games looks all right and simple, but there are a few which look "crowded" a bit, but nothing too bad. The sound and music part is also pretty good, you can vibe to it and every chapter has it's own selection of tracks. Controls are pretty easy, you only need directional keys and one or two action buttons. Best way to play this game is with keyboard and mouse, but only keyboard or controller is also supported. The story is bit interesting, for me it felt rapid and oversimplified, but I think there are lot of hidden meanings in it. The characters are likable and distinguishable. Spookware (for now) is not a long game either, you can play it through under 5 hours. Gameplay is also an unique part of the game, because you will do exploration and searching in the world, following the flow of the story, which sound boring, but there are the mentioned minigames... they are fun and also some are challenging. Most of them are pretty clever and fun, some are not so much, but they are all great. You can also replay these.
At every aspect Spookware flies for me, however there is one thing which you should definitely know, which is the game is unfinished. As I said, you can playthrough the game under 5 hours, because the developers only made the game's first episode, which they divided in 4 chapters (3 if I don't count the prologue). What I heard, is these episodes are still under development, so they would come eventually, but I was quite surprised about this fact, which makes the length really shorten.
All in all, Spookware is a really fun game, has some interesting story parts, challenging mini games and unique look. I can definitely recommend the game, however because of the unreleased episodes, you should get this game on sale, under 6€ atleast.

Good parts, bad parts

So here's the thing. I bought this game because I read it was in the same veins as WarioWare, where you play lots of small, quick minigames. Now, while this is true to an extend, the story and pacing between those minigames is not so great in my opinion. The whole death theme allows for some fun puns and scenarios but it wears out quickly
I didn't bought the bundle because of it so I'm not mad about it as I didn't pay full price for it
I will say, look some videos of this game before buying it. Don't go blind into it just thinking it's another WarioWare, because it doesn't has the charm of it
