IllFonic Patches Out Controversial Closet Mini-Game from 'Halloween' | FOX on Games - Video Game News & Industry Analysis Sep 12, 2026

Show notes

Developer IllFonic has officially patched out a controversial "Two-Person Power-Up" closet mini-game from its new asymmetrical 4v1 horror multiplayer title, Halloween: The Game. While intended as a tongue-in-cheek nod to slasher movie tropes, players quickly raised serious concerns when late-game reinforcement characters—specifically Dr. Samuel Loomis, bearing the likeness of the late actor Donald Pleasence—were able to trigger the suggestive audio encounters with teenage survivors. We examine the studio's response, calling the mechanic an unintended oversight, and look at the future of mini-games in the asymmetrical slasher adaptation.
