This week we talk about the slasher film game Final Girl by A.J. Porfirio of Van Ryder Games. This game is built on the foundation of Hostage Negotiator and expands on that system to make a fun but creepy game about trying to survive in a horror movie while a killer is after you.
This is a modular game series in which you need to buy at least two boxes to play, the core box with rules and a Feature Film box with a killer and location to play in. With multiple Feature Films, you can mix and match killers for more variety in your games.
