Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • attack — Players can attack Michael Myers with weapons like a handgun (roll three dice, range eight) or a hammer (roll two dice, range one). Michael Myers attacks with three dice.
  • Hidden movement — It is a hidden movement style game. One person is going to be playing Michael Myers right over here, and everyone else is going to be playing the victims or hopefully survivors in this.
  • Line of sight — Line of sight is, of course, blocked by doors. However, you can see through windows just like this, and you can see just straightforward right here up until this door.
  • search — You're going to have to go around and search at these areas and go through that deck and eventually find those cards.
  • Staggered (Michael Myers) — When Michael Myers is staggered, his stalk moves from five spaces to three, he can still move through a window, but pursue cannot be done. His attack rolls two dice.

Quotes (from this video)
  • If you haven't played the first game, you're going to get pretty much the same experience from either one of the two that you you play with.
  • It is. There's so many little thematic things that you kind of laugh at like the pursue, you know, like when you run after you have to run behind them. So line of sight matters.
  • If you're looking for a deeper hidden movement game this isn't it.
  • This one is just kind of a fun atmospheric thematic game.
  • This just happens to already be another game that I like more with this exact same, you know, pairing.
  • And I think that this game works on a level where if you are the Michael Myers, if you're the one hidden person trying to trying to find everyone, I think if you play this game too seriously, you'll probably just kind of wipe the floor with everyone.
