You know the story. A bunch of college kids go partying on a lake on Halloween night, only to be picked off one by one by something lurking in the woods, until only one girl is left to defeat the silent monstrous killing machine once and for all. Only that’s where this story begins. When Final Girl Vivian Finala misses her shot to kill the supernatural slasher Jack Headed Jill, things quickly spiral into a time-bending, out of control comedy of horrors in this Slasher Movie Satire. Join Vivian as she recounts the horrific (and at times comedic) events that occurred on Lake Shishkabob, using some carefully selected action figures to recreate the scenes, along with snippets of her own memories. Help her uncover the truth and meet a queer and colorful cast of characters like Vivian’s “ best friend ” Joy Rancher, the walking jock stereotype Mark A. Martin, and of course Jill, the pumpkin demon who, despite her best efforts, just can’t seem to kill anyone tonight. Team up with Jill and Vivian to investigate crime scenes that both have and haven’t happened yet, make choices that slightly change the course of events, and find clues about what really happened that night. The more clues you uncover the more options will be available to you during their final showdown with the true puppet master of Shishkabob Lake. Was Vivian really the only survivor? Why do people keep dying before Jill can kill them? And what is up with that cheerleader that keeps following Vivian around? Your choices uncover the truth!

Press reviews: “...like the genre greats such as Ace Attorney, it isn’t afraid to not take itself seriously all the time. It has the time for jokes. Earned and genuinely funny jokes at that.” checkpointgaming “Ton of fun for a comedy and horror fan” TheOutbackAl “I'll be honest, I'm here for the muscle-bound pumpkin-headed serial killer...” retronauts 

Notes: This game includes frequent depictions of violent death using low polygon action figures, and discussed topics of death, murder, domestic abuse, and drug and alcohol use as depicted in various slasher movie tropes. The game also addressed topics of sexuality, gender, and neurodiversity in an informative and optimistic context. If you enjoy or can tolerate slasher movies or true crime podcasts, you'll be emotionally fine playing this game.
