New blood will spatter the cabins at Camp Crystal Lake this fall when the folks at Gun Media release Friday the 13th: The Game on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. A new gameplay overview video explains how fixing the phone can save you from the wrath of Jason Voorhees.

"This is the 3rd entry in a series of videos that will help explain one of the ways that counselors can survive their night in Camp Crystal Lake for Friday the 13th: The Game. Calling the Police requires fixing the outside call box in the cabin and then successfully completing a call before Jason gets you. At that point you have 10 minutes till the round ends, but you still have to make your way to them at a random entry point.
