From the twisted mind behind Bejeweled and Peggle (and some other guys) comes a diabolical puzzle game that also happens to be a bloody tribute to the VHS era of videotape horror! No one is safe… no law enforcement enforces the law enough… and no animals or children are harmed… in the summer horror hit of 1984.

• Starring Mark Meer (Cmdr Shepard from Mass Effect) and Derek Mears (Friday the 13th)

• Discover dozens of spectacular “Gorepack” kill scenes featuring wood-chippers, lawn mowers, Sumerian demon incantations, and more!

• All-new DELETED SCENES revealed for each movie, for optional 'extra-challenge' puzzles!

This classic horror movie slasher franchise is nostalgia and cinema

### 5/5 — Slayaway camp

*2024-10-25, version 4.17*

This game is really fun and challenging at the same time, it makes a perfect puzzle game in my opinion. It’s also nice that if you get stuck you can see a walkthrough of the level, I haven’t seen a lot of games that do that. Also the little references like in the scene from Friday The 13th: Jason takes Manhattan where the guy is punching Jason and gets his head knocked off. The little details like that and the gameplay really makes this a good game.
