In Final Girl, you play as a woman in a horror movie, desperately trying to survive and/or take down the boss. Along the way, you’ll need to manage your own health while searching the grounds for weapons and clues necessary to beat the big bad that’s chasing you.
You’ll also be dealing with other survivors. You’ll level up your character if you can manage to help these survivors escape (get to the edge of the map) but frankly, sometimes people die, and there are definitely times you’ll happily throw them in front of a chainsaw wielding maniac to buy yourself some time and distance.
Final Girl is kind of the Cadillac of solo gaming. To play, you’ll need to choose a heroine, a villain and a location. The villains are all cheap knocko– sorry, lovely HOMAGES to horror movies you know and love, as are the locations and most of the heroines. Each represents a unique set of challenges and offers unique tools to deal with your problem. You’ll only need a core box and one scenario box to play, but once you get a taste, you’ll almost certainly want more.
