Griefville: Survive the Nightmare is launching today as an adult-focused horror game debuting on Roblox. It features the horror character Chucky.
The developers at RocketRide Games promise a spine-chilling interactive horror experience that invites players to relive nostalgic horror films from the ’80s and ’90s. Developed in collaboration with Roblox and NBCUniversal’s Universal Products & Experiences, this game brings the infamous killer doll Chucky to life in a rotating format that offers a diverse array of familiar horror characters.
Although not R-rated compared to films, the game’s adult nature and nostalgia focus highlight the aging up of the Roblox audience into multi-generational gamers.
