Our take on The Boogie Man
Players may bounce off the game when the castle investigation shifts into graphic depictions of murder and violence. Those expecting a single definitive conclusion may also hit a wall when the pursuit branches into multiple endings, including darker outcomes.
What is The Boogie Man?
The Boogie Man is a 2D horror adventure set during Keith and Helena’s visit to a castle.
Keith, a detective sent on a mandatory work vacation, begins pursuing the Boogie Man after murders appear during the castle tour. His motivation is tied to his determination to protect people following his son’s death. Exploration and action elements shape the investigation, while the outcome depends on whether the Boogie Man is caught. The game includes multiple endings, including a successful conclusion and darker outcomes. It also contains graphic depictions of violence. The Steam edition adds achievements and localization in multiple languages. This is the third entry in the Strange Man series.
