To get you in the Halloween spirit: Yume Nikki - a strange and sometimes scary game (that's free to download) where you play a girl who spends her days in a tiny room, but in her dreams goes exploring. Some rave about it, others find it overwhelming, while others still provide many helpful guidelines. Try it yourself - if you're lucky, maybe you'll see Uboa (3:26).

Currently downloading, but I have a sneaking (spooky?) suspicion that this is gonna be a Windows-only deal. It looks great, tho. I love me some Japanese creepy horror games.

I can play it with Wine in Linux. Don't know what Mac users can do.

From the Overhwelming link -- yes, Freedom is great until you have too much of it, then Freedom sucks. In games at least.

DarWine works pretty well for me.
