I'd say that one of the sloppiest efforts I've seen in a while is probably "Kirby's Deadland." To whoever wrote that, keep trying, I'm not saying you should stop, but you need to avoid cliches and hear feedback from others before you go posting.

Yep. Kirby's Deadland tries hard to make itself serious, but it's just not creepy enough. It comes off as laughable when they describe Whispy Woods, an OAK TREE THAT IS INCAPABLE OF BLEEDING BLOOD as bleeding.

One of the main problems with some Haunted Cartridge pastas is the belief that weeping blood is synonymous with being scary. Some of the best gaming pastas barely use blood, if not at all. Look at MaRIo or Ben Drowned or The Theater, they don't use blood and they still scare the crap out of people.

...Plus, I've NEVER been a fan of replacing a word in a game's title with something sinister like 'death,' 'kill,' or 'damned.' It seems far too campy to work.
