These days, horror fans into video games have been having a lot of fun with online multiplayer games. Friday the 13th: The Game and Dead by Daylight have both proven to be popular with fans, with each offering their own style of asymmetrical gameplay. With one player controlling the killer and the rest playing as survivors, the goal is to either kill everyone alive or manage to survive the night.
Elastic Games’ upcoming title Last Year: The Nightmare will be the next multiplayer survival horror game to hit the market. In this six-player game, one person will play as the killer, while five others must work together to attempt to survive. The game will be set in the ’90s at an empty high school, which looks like a horrifying location, judging from the early screenshots.
Due to first release on Discord this fall, an official trailer for the game has been revealed. Take a look at it below.
Synopsis: Halloween night. 1996. A group of teenagers awake to find themselves trapped in a dark, twisted reflection of their sleepy hometown of Forest Hills. As they make their way across the East Side High School campus, they realize they are being hunted by a supernatural force taking the forms of fearsome killers. Relentlessly pursued, the teens must band together to fight back, survive, and escape the terrifying anomaly they have come to know as The Nightmare.
If you ask me, I think this game looks awesome. In the same way you can’t have too many slasher movies, I don’t believe we can get enough slasher games. The trailer looks intense, teasing just how many ways the killer can sneak up on his victims. Last Year: The Nightmare looks freaky as hell yet tons of fun, which is really all you can ask for.
Last Year: The Nightmare will be available this fall on Discord as a “First on Discord” title. The game will then be further distributed in 2019. Find out more info about the game on Facebook or at the official website.
