It’s Halloween night, 1978, the unsuspecting families of the quiet suburban town of Haddonfield are making holiday preparations, and evil has made its way home. Take The Shape of Evil as Michael Myers or save your neighbors as a Hero of Haddonfield in Halloween, the ultimate asymmetrical horror sandbox.
As Michael, players wear the mask, become the Boogeyman, and stalk innocent residents with relentless obsession. Utilizing a nightmarish array of abilities, Michael leverages shadows and stealth to satisfy his bloodthirst. This doesn’t mean Haddonfield is going down without a fight. Frightened townsfolk will call the local authorities and even fight back when threatened, incentivizing Michael to avoid detection.

As a Hero of Haddonfield, it’s your job to alert the residents of Haddonfield to the impending evil and help them escape before falling victim to Michael’s unyielding pursuit. In dynamic and ever-changing 1v4 asymmetrical multiplayer matches, hero players must arm themselves with everyday household items, weapons, and knowledge to combat an unpredictable and unkillable enemy. Convincing townsfolk and contacting the police will lead to increasingly powerful and thorough neighborhood patrols. To even the odds, you can command and equip NPCs with weapons to outsmart or even overpower The Shape, providing precious windows for escape.
This immersive horror sandbox is powered by Unreal Engine 5 to deliver engaging and dynamic gameplay systems, life-like NPCs, hauntingly realistic visuals, cinema-quality lighting, and endless scares for you and your friends. Asymmetrical horror comes home in Halloween.

I was so... SO excited for this game. Despite all the flaws, i LOVED Friday the 13th. I went into this game elated believing this would be a massively improved Friday the 13th that would send me back to those days playing a janky albeit fun time surviving by any means against an unstoppable killer... Instead I got to play a broken, janky, mess where I was killed every single time within seconds of seeing Michael, because all it takes is Michael grabbing you waiting 1.5 seconds while you try and fail to break free before he slits your throat and kills you. And as annoying as that can be, what completely took me out of it was seeing broken animation, after broken animation, useless Npcs who if they aren't just running straight into Michael to get themselves killed are actively just standing around doing nothing, not helping you break free of Michael, not hiding to save themselves, and not trying to escape to save themselves but just stand there like a dead fish. I wanted this game to be good, I went in believing that even if it would be a bit buggy it would still be worth it, but the second I (by some miracle) broke free of a grab and watched my friend knock Michael down to the ground, and found that i was COMPLETELY stuck in place as if I were a statue, only for Michael to kill me with an animation WHILE HE WAS ON THE GROUND KNOCKED DOWN... I knew that In its current state this game simply should not be released for sale. I hope that In time this game will be worth the 40 dollars it is sold for, but for now this game is simply an absolute mess. I had hoped that after more than a decade of experience and fumbles IllFonic would have learned from their mistakes and not release a buggy mess and do It right for once... But I also hoped I wouldn't be here righting this negative review, I was wrong on both counts.

보통 이런 류의 게임들은 쫓고 쫓기는 맛에 하는거지 너무 대놓고 경찰 NPC는 제대로 싸우지도 않고 말 그대로 주요 NPC 멱살잡고 탈출구로 넣는 게임인데 탈출이라도 재밌게 만들어놓던가 각 무기 처형모션도 몇개는 구현이 안되어있고 난 이 게임이 데바데 정가보다 비싸다는게 신기하다

Im sure its fun multiplayer, but to complete the challenges in Michaels story is such a mtfk tedious bs waste of time. Sometimes its bugged A F
I was really looking forward to this game as a big fan of Friday the 13th and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but ultimately when I started playing problems arose first with the terrible optimization of the game this is by far one of the worst optimized games I've played so far when I first played I was getting around 29 fps which is just unacceptable for this type of game and still after tweaking the settings only getting around 80fps is still less than stellar for the type of GPU that I have, second the game left me more to be desired playing the game I didn't really know what the goal was of this game and while I know over time this will become less of an issue it still impacted my impression of the game unlike Texas and Friday then there's was the issue of cross play in this game doesn't work properly I couldn't cross play with my friends at all and while there currently trying to fix this issue it shouldn't have been one in the first place and lastly me personally I just didn't find this game that exciting or fun but maybe I just need to play more of this game and my opinion might change but for now I cant recommended this game to anyone.
This game scratches an itch that I haven't gotten since F13 the game. There are things that aren't perfect, but I'm certain Illfonic work on balancing and other things as time goes on!
The bots in this game are among the dumbest I've seen in any video game in my life. Otherwise it's pretty fun so far
Super fun game. The story is a really cool slightly stripped down recap of my favorite movie of all time, so that's a major plus. A lot is being said about the story & while I do wish it was longer, it is very clearly intended to give you an idea of game mechanics, little more. However, you also get a cool switched perspective recap of the film as I said earlier, albeit altered for the game's liberties here and there. The multiplayer is very fun & reminiscent of the slapstick, semi-serious nature of their previous title friday the 13th, also one of the games I hold very dear. Granted, there are a few bugs that need to be ironed out, but I'm very confident in this team, and I think every minute detail of which definitely don't take away from the grandiose of the game will be addressed in due time. 10/10, Thank you guys so much for giving us this game <3
if you're having super serious issues with performance (i am even on my beefy system), try turning down "Global Illumination Quality", and "Reflection Quality" to low or medium in the settings. this boosted my frame rate considerably i was getting 23 FPS and just changing those settings boosted me to 64 FPS.
Okay this is fun game is fun I haven't played texas Chainsaw or friday the 13th but I have played other Asyms and i will say the suvivor gameplay loop has aspects that are better thatn dbd I will say that But i will also say I don't know about the longevity of this game if im being honest one cause players are ♥♥♥♥ talking it with to an extent is justifed in terms of the devs behind it not listeing to the players in chainsaw massacar and aspects of what happened in friday but I don't think it will end cause of the same reasons as friday the other reason is this game feels clunky at times in terms of survivors gltiching through cars and one time i ragged doll out the car on low HP and died but I would say that was more funny than anything next thing I will say is I have been seeing people say micheal is weak is isn't a good micheal that understands the game is strong not broken or busted but is strong and at times can be scary lol in my opinion I will say you play this game and you are interacting with your own teamtes and npcs alot and as micheal its way more npcs than players especially depending on the map But i will say i think the devs should up the player count from 4 to 7 or even 6 atleast cause I think that would make interactions on both sides feel more like friday and just more fun for both sides the next thing is you can't bully micheal he has a rage mechanic that activates after 2 downs and some damage when he is getting jumped here damage doesn't matter and he can ruin you which then you should run lol last thing is I think they need to make civilian npcs and cops out of most way more smart and just better at aiming and making decisions they aren't this dumb in horror movies on either side lol that is what I have so far for what this game is it's fun but its not worth the 60 dollar price tag for early access and when the full game releases think about what you want out of this game if your looking for a game similar to dbd you won't find it if you are looking for a game the exact same as friday the 13 to appease yourself and your desires cause you want it back don't get it this game is most enjoyed without comparison to friday and dbd cause it feels very different but the same they def gotta work on some more stuff for the game tho I will say and REMEBER EVERYONE WE DON"T KNOW IF THE DEVS HAVE LEARNED THERE LESSON AND WILL LISTEN TO ACTUAL HELPFUL FEEDBACK FROM THE PLAYER BASE SO EVERYONE GIVE CRITICS OPINIONS THAT CAN HELP THE GAME AND ALL THAT!!! Cause this can be as good as friday the 13 is it yet I don't think so But is see the vision and devs if your seeing this don't make the same damn mistake listen too your player base while also adding things you guys want find a good balance don't be selfish these players are purchasing ur game and most want too enjoy it and have low expectations and that is no ones fault but your own actions speak louder then words! if you guys are passionate and care about this game and its community do it right yall got this! ALSO I don't really deal with performance issues with this game I have NVIDIA stuff so my setting is DLSS and i have my graphics on high with my setting balanced between performance and looking good that is all hope this review helped yall out Ill update it with more play time of the game but it takes about 2 or 3 hours of gameplay to see what this game has to offer on both sides maybe 4 if your on the slower side all cometics so far seem to be free and earnable and there more that just recolors for everyone which is nice
