Not even puzzle game characters are safe from slashers this Halloween season, as Digerati Distribution and Blue Wizard Digital have announced the new video game Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut, which features the voices of Mark Meer as the serial killer Skullface and Jason Voorhees himself, Derek Mears, as Jessica:
Press Release: 29 September, 2017 – Killer news everyone! Digerati Distribution and Blue Wizard Digital are thrilled to announce Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut for the PS4 and Xbox One. The meatiest version of the most violentest puzzle game ever made, Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut will be released for both consoles next month – i.e. October – so just in time for Halloween!
Slayaway Camp is the debut game from Blue Wizard Digital, the indie studio formed by PopCap co-founder Jason Kapalka. Between them, the Blue Wizard team has previously worked on such awesome titles as Bejeweled, Peggle, Cosmochoria, and Cardinal Quest.
In addition to that already star-studded roll-call, Slayaway Camp features the incredible voice-over talents of Mark Meer, better known to gamers as Mass Effect’s Commander Shepard, and Derek Mears, who played legendary killer Jason Voorhees in the 2009 reboot of Friday the 13th.
About the game
Already an award-winning hit on PC and mobile – Slayaway Camp is a killer puzzle game where you control Skullface, a psychotic slasher hell-bent on revenge. Slide this adorably demented murderer around hundreds of isometric puzzle levels to squash, flay, and decapitate hapless victims in this darkly comic homage to 80s horror movies.
This special console-only Butcher’s Cut edition is the biggest and bloodiest version of Slayaway Camp… EVER! More puzzles. More killers. More gore. It’s the ultimate videogame nasty.
