Developer Previews Single Player Mode for ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’

early storyboard panel for single-player mode

As much as we’re personally loving Gun Media and Illfonic’s Friday the 13th: The Game, we understand that many players just aren’t digging the fact that it’s exclusively multi-player at the moment. The game can only be played with others (either friends in private matches or strangers in public matches), which is a turn off for gamers who prefer single-player action.

But have no fear, because a single-player mode is coming soon.

Last we heard, Friday the 13th: The Game’s single-player option will be slashing its way into our lives at some point this summer, and Gun Media’s Wes Keltner just previewed the hotly-anticipated mode over on Twitter. What can you expect from it and how will it differ from the multi-player gaming available now?

@weskeltner tweeted today…

Think about the game like a film:

Multi-player starts at reel 4. Eeveryone knows Jason is there.

Single-player starts at reel 1. All victims have no idea.

Those who have been playing the game know that the current multi-player mode begins with a cut-scene of Jason attacking the chosen location and killing off a counselor; from there, players are immediately thrust into a situation where they have to try and survive the night. What Keltner is saying here is that the single-player mode will be different in that the gameplay will start BEFORE Jason has made his presence known.

Keltner also noted on Twitter that more maps are in the works!

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

Published

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
