Scrimmy Bingus and the Newark Horror

Scrimmy Bingus and the Newark Horror is a horror RPG and the 6th installment in the Scrimmy Bingus franchise. It was released on October 29, 1995 for the Sega Saturn, Playstation, Nintendo 64, and PC. It received mixed reviews from critics.
== Plot Overview ==
The game follows Scrimmy, once again a playable character (though not the only option). If the player does not chose Scrimmy as their brongus, Scrimmy instead follows the player around.
The player is called to Newark, New Jersey by Professor Tongus, a teacher at the Rutgers-Newark University Campus. He is asked to investigate the death of Amos Mongus, who supposedly committed suicide just a week prior. Police are ready to close the investigation, but Tongus, a close family friend to the Mongus', is not convinced. 
The player then spends the entirety of the game in Newark, assembling clues in and around Mongus Manor in attempts to uncover the mystery surrounding Tongus' death. One clue is a note Amos Mongus wrote before his death, called "We Can No Longer Afford To Live With Suffering", found in his bedroom as a sort of suicide note. After extensive investigation, the player finds out that the culprit is a poltergeist sent by the Crodon to haunt the Mongus Manor. The player then has to battle the poltergeist in the manor. If the player succeeds, the plotergeist explodes, destroying the manor and seriously injuring Scrimmy. Scrimmy passes out but then wakes up in the Rutgers University medical bay, where they are told the police believe that the house was destroyed because of a gas leak. Scrimmy restores their health and goes to the Deridgivers, hoping to learn more about the Crodon. This directly sets up the events of Scrimmy Bingus 64 and Scrimmy Bingus TEN. 
== Trivia ==
* The game was originally supposed to be an adventure RPG, but was hastily changed due to the positive response to horror footage from the announcement for Scrimmy Bingus and the Dark Descent. 
* The game features extensive crossover material with TimothyPlus, with that game showing some of the events of this one from TimothyPlus' point of view as a student at Rutgers.
