If there is one thing I love about a good asymmetrical horror game, it is when the developers give survivors more to worry about than simply running from the killer. Halloween: The Game takes that idea and pushes it into a much more interesting direction by filling Haddonfield with AI-controlled civilians who can become victims,…
