Our take on Slashers
The page gives substantial attention to multiple modes, but also says some are still being developed or will arrive later. The currently described core is a repeatable cooperative loop of searching, assembling fragments, managing visibility and noise, and escaping an escalating enemy.
What is Slashers?
Slashers is a cooperative horror game for 1–4 players set in abandoned, apparently cursed locations.
Players investigate what happened, search for randomly placed objects, and combine fragments to weaken and defeat a pursuing murderer. They can flee, use objects to stun the enemy, or rescue captured teammates. Darkness, limited flashlight batteries, stamina, noise, and changing electricity affect movement and detection. The enemy can alter doors and the generator, while its strength, size, speed, and aggression increase as fragments are placed. Collectibles appear across the map, and higher difficulties require more fragments and introduce additional enemy phases. Map elements and object locations change between sessions. The store page also lists several game modes as under development or planned for later release.
