Halloween

Halloween is a cult horror film series, started in 1978 and created by John Carpenter. Illfonic Studio (known for games such as Friday the 13th: The Game and Predator: Hunting Grounds), in collaboration with Gun Media, based their project on it. They have created an open-world survival horror game, simply titled Halloween. Although the pillar of this game is asymmetrical multiplayer, it also offers a story campaign.

Gameplay

Halloween takes us back to the town of Haddonfield in 1978. The gameplay varies, depending on who we embody.

Playing as Michael Myers

As Michael Myers, the masked murderer hunting the residents of Haddonfield on Halloween night, we operate quietly, sneaking in the shadows and attacking our victims by surprise. Avoiding detection is important because our targets may defend themselves against us or call the police.

Playing as a resident of Haddonfield

As one of the residents of Haddonfield, we have to fight for survival, making use of weapons (which can be both real ones and everyday items we find). The key to success is informing others about the looming threat, as well as calling the police for help, which over time engages more forces. In addition to this, we can take control of NPCs and arm them to help us fight the perpetrator.
