Launch by picking your role as either a survivor or the butcher. As a survivor, step into the haunted dorm and set up economies and barriers to protect yourself from the butcher. Employ the materials collected within the room to fortify your barriers. As the hunter, your goal is to hunt down the survivors before they escape. Navigate through the dorm, destroying barriers to access the defenders. Be aware of the eerie atmosphere and use it to your advantage. The game advances through various stages, each with increasing difficulty. Last as long as possible as a survivor or catch all defenders as the butcher to succeed.
