About SLASHER PARTY

Slasher Party is one solo indie dev's love letter to Slasher Films from across the ages, brought to life as a multiplayer survivor and escape experience.

You and your friends play the victims in the horror genre while a variety of AI killers hunt you down. Each match will randomize escape locations, hazards and all item locations to keep things fresh and provide new experiences each time. As you play you'll unlock more killers as long as you "kill" the previous killer or enough victims escape.

The Killers

Gather 'round your friends and slap in a VHS. Each killer is uniquely tuned and offer different experiences. Dread the dark when you face The Nightman. Collect red balloons for Birthday Barry. Run in terror from a good ol' fashion machete, chainsaw or kitchen knife.

Escaping

Although unlikely, you'll be able to escape from the killer in numerous ways.

•

Gather parts for the truck or boat.

•

Signal the police, who may come by coastguard, patrol car or helicopter.

•

Find a weapon and flip the script yourself.

•

Discover map specific alternate escapes.

Death & Hilarious Misfortune

Slasher Party is about emulating the victim experience in a slasher film. This means you'll have to avoid or lean into all the tropes of the genre.

•

Avoid tripping on that stick while in a chase with the killer.

•

Walk, don't run, when near Ol' Chippy the woodchipper.

•

When near open campfires be sure to exercise fire safety.

In the forests be sure to not disturb our friendly bees and be wary of beartraps left behind by hunters.

Serious Equipment

Surviving a horror film is no easy task. Be sure to outfit yourself with equipment you find during the match to give yourself an edge.

Find beer bottles to drink to give yourself Beer Armor. Just be careful of the burps and alcohol poisoning.

•

Find a flashlight to illuminate the environment when it gets dark.

•

Discover a map to be able to pinpoint your position more easily and potentially uncover other secrets.

•

Kit yourself with some sneakers to be able to run faster, longer and jump higher.

•

Found a boombox? Use it and you and your friends can have a dance party to increase your chances of survival in the film.

•

A radio lets you talk across the map to others who have their radios on.

•

More items and equipment await to support your horror experience.

Optional Killer AI Voice Detection

The host of each match will have the ability to toggle on and off voice detection by the AI. While the tension of the killer being able to hear you is great, it's also fun to be able to talk/scream with your friends freely when you find them. The choice is up to you!

Screentime

I mentioned this was a horror film right? They have to end eventually. Behind the scenes a value called Screentime is being tracked per player. If you participate in actions that would help your chances in a horror movie then your Screentime will go up. If say, you drink and get high the entire time, your Screentime will go down. Screentime manages tension and survival. It determines how long of a day your group has, how long you can run, how likely you are to avoid an attack from the killer because plot.

Retro Graphics Styling

Slasher Party is visually inspired by games of the PSX era to lean into the grit and ugliness of good horror experiences while leaning into modern engine techniques to give it a filmic style.
