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. And for the first time ever, fans of the transformative original film will have the option to witness the haunting narrative events surrounding "The Night He Came Home" through the eyes of Michael Myers in a standalone singleplayer story mode.
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.

Very poor optimization, but that's honestly one thing I dont like about this game, bots are dumb af but I really don't mind it, it's really fun and I feel immersed in this game and it can lead to funny and scary moments with additional voice chat. I really hope that they will optimize it eventually, because I have to run 30-35 fps on mostly low settings. If you don't mind low fps like I do (for now) this game will be very fun.
Great love letter to the original '78 movie. Graphics are good for what it is. Make sure to play the story-mode before jumping in multiplayer (It's like a fancy 2 hour long tutorial) Obviously there are some bugs, but Illfonic are paying attention to feedback and have already addressed some things.

This game is not bad but it can be frustrating at times, I was a civilian trying to dive into a window and i had no option to do that even though I had enough stamina. It got me killed. Other than that, the game is fun. I believe it needs to be worked on of course but honestly, you should either wait until the game goes on sale or get the game after a few patches to see how it really goes.
Extremely fun game and even more with friends! That being said extreme technical issues and has trouble launching day 1 which is always a bad look but with enough hotfixes has extreme potential. If its not for you its not for you! But absolutely worth a try if you enjoyed f13 or tcm.
It's fun, very much like Friday the 13th. The civilians are kinda dumb and don't like to listen to you, and for some reason shooting michael with all your bullets doesnt always down him. but good fun, nice theres a solo mode too
I didn't like at first, but after giving it some time I think it could be good. Depends on what they do to address initial issues. My cons right now: collisions with civilians/police (hilarious but game breaking at times), Michael locking in to kill animation unless the entire team is attacking him is a bit much, animations in general (i.e. phone use) are extremely weak for a $60 game (or even $40), Michael is OP - don't want killer bullying but at this time he can cruise the map and have everyone dead before you find any meaningful item, and civilians not listening to your commands (watched them not leave out escape by order or when following). I've played 10 hours this early and maybe I'm missing some things, but I hope they are willing to pour some love into the game because I think it could be really fun and definitely needs it. As of now, don't buy unless the devs come out with feedback and how they plan to address issues.
Great atmosphere and a genuinely fun gameplay loop. The foundation is strong, but the game still needs more polish, especially with performance and some rough edges. Definitely worth supporting — just needs more work to reach its full potential.
Game is super fun. Don't listen to people on twitter.
Congratulations on making an unkillable antagonist, and a undefeatable one. The NPC's have minds of a fruit fly and the escape paths glitch like phuk. And congratulations to me to spending $50 extra on a game that should be $10. Fix your game, it doesn't take that much time to play test.
I like it and it definitely has promise, sadly my potato can't handle it.
