Now that the game is up and running and I've been able to play it, I feel that I can leave a more acurate review.

In short: This game is fun for a group of friends, gets right what most games in the genre get wrong, a treat for fans of the films, and actually scary.

I have played similar games to this one, or at least ones similar in theory, but this is the only style of game like this that has polished gameplay for both the victims and the killer.

Esentially, as the victims, you scrounge around looking for tools to escape. These can be items to that will help start a car or boat or a way to contact the police. Here is what sets it apart from other games: the maps to each level are huge. You have allot of territory to cover and just as many hiding places from the killer.

Similar games have made me feel clostrophobic while playing, and not in a good way that ramps up the tension. Rather, they just frustrated me and made me feel like my characters death was inevitable and cheap. With this game, you can frantically run through the woods despertley trying to lose Jason, stumbling around or running out of breath. There is a thrill when you escape him, but if/when you get caught it dosen't seem unfair.

This game gets it right. I hear people screaming "OH NO STAY BACK!" or "NO NO NO NO NO" frequently while Jason breaks the door down to a cabin many players are in. I've seen players give up their own lives to distract Jason so other players can make a run for it and potentially escape. I've seen players shoot at Jason only to accidently miss and kill a fellow camper Jason was stangling. I've frantically tried to get a wrecked car to start as Jason creeped behind us while ominous music swelled, only to have it start at the last second and drive away.

All in all, if you like the films, or want a fun game to play with friends with genuine scares that come from the frantic nature of the gameplay rather than a jumpscare in a cutscene, this is a good purchase.

Especially now that it's working.
