Pocast: Licensed Horror Games
Horror video games are definitely abundant, but in the grand scheme they can be seen as somewhat niche. As a child we used to think licenses would enhance games, which most of the time didn’t work out. Fortunately it’s not all bad news for licensed horror games so Fred and Jam tackle the different titles that came out.

What are you supposed to do?
Survive three day/night cycles while attempting to kill Jason. You are given six camp counselors, three boys and three girls, each with one of three template play styles. At random moments throughout the game Jason will attack another counselor, a group of the 15 children you are watching, or the counselor you’re currently playing as. If he attacks another counselor or children, you have to find the cabin they are in and fight Jason. If he attacks you, fight him and stay alive. In order to eliminate Jason each day his life must be depleted, which requires the use of either the machete, torch or axe (technically you could probably do it with the rock or the knife, but it would take so long I wouldn’t recommend it). To assist you on all three days you can find Jason’s hidden lair in the cave, fight his mother and receive a crucial item for the day. On the first day you get a machete, on day 2 you get the sweater (which reduces damage from Jason by half) and on day 3 you get the pitchfork, which permanently kills him. You will need to light fireplaces in big cabins with the lighter to move events forward.
