HALLOWEEN: THE GAME / 13 guides
Survival & roles
Start with your objective, then learn the interaction that keeps blocking your team.
New Civilian: begin with the first-match guide, then follow resident rescue into escape planning. Repeated chase problems belong in the stamina guide; repeated uncertainty about character choice belongs in the stat guide. These paths let you improve one decision at a time instead of changing everything after a loss.
Playing Michael: learn the documented movement conditions before comparing a loadout. Understanding the other side’s objectives also helps you interpret a match. When a strategy depends on a current value, check the patch notes rather than treating a memorable clip as permanent evidence.
