Camp Keepalive is what happens when turn-based strategy meets an 80s slasher movie g21

Friday the 13th gave us so many things: a much better sequel, the first of many on-screen deaths for Kevin 'I just wanna dance/turn invisible/sell mobile phones' Bacon, and an abiding fear of going anywhere near teenagers, lest Jason Voorhees turns up to get creative with his machete. However, it's also indirectly responsible – along with the tremendous Sleepaway Camp – for the upcoming turn-based splattery game (see what I did there?) Camp Keepalive, so I guess it's not all bad. (I replaced the word 'strategy' with 'splattery', is what I'm saying.) Your job is to "save the helpless and dull-witted campers from an onslaught of monsters with a team of counsellors, each with a special power." I have been waiting for this game my whole life.

The following video doesn't quite live up to the initial pitch, but I feel this is a game you need to play to really appreciate. Thankfully you can, as there's a demo available just here. As the trailer makes clear, it's not just immortal serial killers that are on the campers' trails; it's werewolves, dudes with chainsaws, and things that look a bit like Swamp Thing. The full version of Camp Keepalive will feature "more monster types and counselors, as well as a Camp Mode, a multi-map gameplay mode where your every decision could come back to haunt you…"

Many thanks to RPS.
