Demon's Souls, the novel, must-play RPG exclusive to the PlayStation 3 is difficult enough as it is. On Halloween, it's going to get a hell of a lot harder.

In an emailed statement, an Atlus spokesperson said that the company will be tweaking the game's "world tendency" system away from the light to celebrate All Hallow's Eve.

"We've discovered that the nefarious Demon will seek to descend the land in pure blackness," read the statement. "His minions will be more powerful, but the rewards for those who seek to challenge them will be greater as well."

If this makes no sense to you, check out the English Demon's Souls wiki or the official wiki page.

Here's the shorthand: when the world leans pure black, your health goes down while enemy attack power, health and experience go up. More deadly black phantoms appear.

But the loot gets better.

So if you're already frustrated with Demon's Souls, take Halloween off.
