Skullface Returns in Hilarious Horror Puzzler ‘Slayaway Camp 2’ [Trailer]

Eight years after Blue Wizard Digital scored a hit with Slayaway Camp, like all good slashers, they’re back with a sequel! Slayaway Camp 2, the ‘80s horror-inspired puzzle slasher will arrive on PC via Steam later this year. This time around, Skullface isn’t the only one hunting those unsuspecting campers.

Slayaway Camp 2 has campers summoning the notorious masked slasher Skullface, but this time, Skullface is trapped inside a “totally not Netflix” streaming service known as TERRORTUBE. Skullface must find a way to escape TERRORTUBE and return to the real world, but not before slicing his way through hundreds of new victims splattered across classic movie genres.

Not only that, but Skullface has the ability to transform into a one of 36 horror monsters to further his slashing mayhem. Choose from one of five killer classes, each with customizable skins and distinct abilities. Phase through objects as a Ghost, or paralyze victims as a Beast, or stick to the classics and paint the town red as a Slasher.

Of course, you’ll have to solve environmental puzzles to corner your victims, then torture them in hilariously gory fashion. Scare them to death, set deadly traps, or get creative with the tools available – crush victims with boulders or mulch them with lawnmowers.

Slayaway Camp 2 offers up a bevy of improvements from the original, including a revamped interface, increased graphical performance, and Steam achievements and leaderboards. Bonus content such as an “Endless Mode” take inspiration from classic arcade games, challenging players to creatively reach the ultimate high score, and special Steam Deck enhancements allow you to use the myriad of buttons on the back of the Deck to shake, throttle, and mangle victims in embarrassingly kinetic fashion.

“Horror fans who like the sillier side of scary movies will love Slayaway Camp 2,” said Nate Schmold, Creative Director and Game Designer at Blue Wizard Digital. “If they don’t love it, Skullface will know, and Skullface will be sad. And Skullface gets stabby when he’s sad. Our lawyer’s telling me to clarify that this is not a threat but that we’d like you to buy and enjoy our game.”
