No Trick No Deal with makes use of the Spooktober prompts to create an interactive story, and it even makes use of digital cube rolls for random occasions! My favourite factor is that as a result of every occasion opens in a distinct web page, you by no means know the way shut you might be to the ending—and this makes it much more spooky!
