Halloween: The Game is an asymmetric horror game. One player can take the role of Michael Myers, while up to four players cooperate as Heroes of Haddonfield in multiplayer. The Steam store also describes a standalone single-player story played through Michael Myers' perspective.
Hero objectives
As a Hero of Haddonfield, help residents respond to the threat, use household items and weapons, alert authorities, and create time to escape. The official description emphasizes a changing sandbox with NPCs and player abilities, so a single scripted route is not guaranteed for every match.
Michael Myers objectives
As Michael, use shadows, stealth, and his abilities to stalk residents while avoiding a coordinated response. The official store description says residents can call authorities and fight back, making detection part of the match's pressure rather than a cosmetic detail.
