In this darkly comic slasher-themed puzzle game, you control a killer moving through colorful, isometric camp levels. Clear each level by eliminating its victims and reaching the exit.
Movement is the central puzzle: the killer slides in a straight line until stopped by a wall, obstacle, or victim. Work out the order of your moves, use victims’ reactions to steer them into hazards, and navigate traps, switches, and other level mechanics.
Levels are grouped into horror-movie-style chapters that introduce additional mechanics and grow more challenging. Completing them unlocks further chapters and killer appearances; coins can also be used for cosmetic unlocks, hints, or level skips.
Players often enjoy the game as a challenging, thoughtfully structured sliding puzzle, with new mechanics adding variety as levels progress. Reviews also praise its playful slasher-film theme, voxel presentation, and unlockable killers. Some find the puzzles repetitive or frustrating over longer sessions, and several criticize the time needed to earn coins for optional unlocks.
Experience a new dimension of gut-blasting terror as an unspeakable killing force of skull-faced killing maims and kills his way through smart-mouthed, over-sexed, substance-abusing young adults. No victim is safe… no law enforcement enforces the law enough… and no animals are harmed… in the summer horror blockbuster smash hit of 1984.
Slayaway Camp is a killer puzzle where you control Skullface, a psychotic slasher bent on slaughtering camp counselors at the title campground.
