Ouija Sleepover
is an RPG Maker Explorer Horror game by Hatoge, the creator of Misfiction and Sofia?.
You play as a university student, Aiden, who has invited his friend and crush Dan to his apartment for a movie night, hoping to confess his love. In the process of getting ready, he finds an Ouija Board in the dumpster outside the apartment building and decides to scare the superstitious Dan a little with it. After a fun-filled and spooktacular night, things go wrong when the two find the sky turning blood red and the apartment warping in bizarre ways. Soon Dan disappears and Aiden has to go find him.
This game contains examples of:
- All Just a Dream: The in-universe horror film Aiden and Dan watch ends with this reveal. In addition, during a quiz in the good ending path, Aiden can suggest that the horrifying events they find themselves in are a bad dream, though this is obviously incorrect and Dan is not amused.
- Big Bad: Linda Simons is the Vengeful Ghost who trapped Aiden and Dan inside the alternate dimension and is trying to kill them.
- The Big Damn Kiss: Two of them:
- When Dan finally finds Aiden after he vanishes in the last quarter of the game, Dan plants a big kiss on Aiden, who is confused because he never confessed his love (he actually did make a move, but while drunk).
- In the True End, Aiden returns the favor.
- Did Not Get The Guy: In the first Bad End path, the movie that Aiden and Dan watch, 'love, stuart', ends with the titular Stuart rejecting his gay Love Interest because he feels they can't be together. This, in turn, depresses Dan so much that he leaves before Aiden can confess his love to him.
- Homophobic Hate Crime: Linda, the Big Bad, attempts this when trying to kill Dan and Aiden specifically due to seeing homosexual men as "a waste".
- Ouija Board: As the name suggests, the game centers around one of these that Aiden finds in the trash. He decides to prank his friend/crush Dan with it, moving it while pretending a ghost is making him do it, and he has a good laugh. Then they get in contact with a real ghost. Next thing they know, Aiden and Dan are dropped into a pocket dimension with meaty walls and something after them. Though it turns out the spirit, Gary, is a Friendly Ghost trying to help the duo, and the key to escape is just to finish the Ouija session.
- Multiple Endings: Two main endings and two bad ones.
- Bad End 1: Aiden decides to leave the Ouija board in the trash. His date with Dan goes badly, and he is unable to confess his love.
- Alternate End: If Aiden decides to burn the Ouija board, then he and Dan are able to force the Big Bad into the afterlife, but remain trapped in the other world, evenutally forced to eat the strange meat of the other world and going insane.
- True End: If Aiden decides to not burn the Ouija board, then after he and Dan are able to force the Big Bad into the afterlife, the spirit of the Ouija board, Gary Hugh, helps them get back to the normal world, and the two resume their relationship.
- Poor Communication Kills: Acknowledged by Aiden when it turns out that for all his freaking out about confessing his feelings to Dan, it turns out that he already did so while drunk, and Dan honestly thought they were already in a relationship but never did anything romantic because he figured that Aiden preferred to make the first move, making Aiden's freak out for nothing.
- Show Within a Show: Two of the movies that Aiden and Dan watch. One of them is 'love, stuart', a gay romance film which has a Downer Ending in which Stuart Did Not Get The Guy featured in the first bad end, while the other featured in the main path is a stereotypical horror film.
