The 80s and 90s were the perfect breeding ground for psychokiller<\/a> movies. With the culmination of the cold war and a boom state in the United States, filmmakers knew that a mutant or monster wasn’t scary enough. They had to strike where they could do the most damage to American society<\/strong>: the welfare state. Freddy Krueger was born from the dream, Jason Voorhees from summer camps, Michael Myers from children’s celebration\u2026 and Chucky from capitalism itself turned against you.<\/p>\n\n\n

Want to play a game?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Child’s Play was released in 1988 and grossed 44 million at the time (about 115 million with inflation), kicking off a new slasher saga that, by now, has six sequels, a reboot and a TV series that continues the movies<\/strong>. It was to be expected, then, that sooner or later a video game would arrive that would do justice to Chucky. After all, this killer doll<\/a> is always profitable, isn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May 2011. TikGames, an indie games company that has published versions of Monopoly<\/a>, dominoes or Mahjong for computers and consoles, announces a crowdfunding with the conviction that they will succeed. ‘Chucky: Wanna Play?’ was a playable version of ‘Child’s Play’ for which they needed an extra $925,000<\/strong>. They already had $500,000 and the rights, but they needed more to make a game that was really worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
