About

A tranquil summer camp deep in the woods turns into a blood-soaked nightmare. Shadows stretch long under the moonlight, and somewhere out there, a killer is stalking the cabins with a crimson blade. You and your companion must gather your courage and supplies to escape this slasher’s hunt. Your only chance is to work together, outsmart the darkness, and survive the night. The Slasher is a cooperative trick-taking game for two players that blends deduction, tension, and cardplay. Players face off against the game’s system by playing tricks under restrictive and evolving conditions, attempting to collect sets of cards that represent survival items. Each trick is both an opportunity and a risk—players must navigate limited communication and mounting pressure as they explore locations, avoid deadly encounters, and gather what's needed to escape. The killer's unseen presence looms throughout, forcing tight cooperation and tough choices with every hand.
