"In it, players will take control of one of the young residents living in the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, or the infamous knife-wielding psycho, Michael Myers. From a gameplay standpoint, the premise is fairly simple. As Michael, you're looking to slay as many Haddonfield inhabitants as possible. As a civilian, you're looking to alert as many people as possible to Michael's presence and call the authorities to stop his rampage."
"If this premise sounds familiar, it's because it is. Halloween is an isometric multiplayer game in the same style as Dead by Daylight, or as I clocked right away, Illfonic's ill-fated Friday the 13th game. But rather than going for the pick-up-and-play mass appeal of the former, Illfonic is looking to strike the same vein it did in 2017 with the latter. Unlike last time, however, Illfonic is including a crucial feature Friday the 13th didn't have: a single-player story mode."
Illfonic is developing a Halloween video game based on John Carpenter's 1978 slasher set in Haddonfield, Illinois. Players can play as Michael Myers or as young residents trying to alert others and summon authorities. The game uses an isometric, asymmetrical multiplayer format similar to Dead by Daylight and Illfonic's prior Friday the 13th, but includes a single-player story mode absent from the earlier title. Michael possesses supernatural abilities to stalk victims, while civilians must coordinate to survive. The reveal suggests a faithful recreation of the original atmosphere and aims to avoid previous design mistakes.
