My son loves the adrenaline rush of getting scared, particularly with jump scares, however, I have a lot of difficulty finding a game or show which is appropriate for him. He is prone to nightmares, and more adult-oriented "kid horror" is too much (Poppy's Playtime, Cartoon Cat?) And others like Siren Head. His peers exposed him to those things and made my own nights pretty sleepless for a while.

It's a tough plate to fill, but surely there's gotta be something. He's played Luigi's Mansion and got a kick out of that. That game would be a good example I suppose.

Thanks for any suggestions!

It’s on the tip of my tongue; there was a whole series of ghost pirate themed “hidden object” point and click puzzle games. I’ll update the post when it comes back.

Edit: Nightmares of the Deep
