Halloween: The Game Beginner Guide
Learn the basic match flow for both Michael Myers and the Heroes of Haddonfield. These first-match steps focus on the game's confirmed stealth, civilian, police, weapon, and escape systems.
Choose Your Role
A multiplayer match places one player in control of Michael Myers and four players on the Hero team. Your objectives and approach change completely depending on which side you play.
Heroes: Stay Aware and Work Together
Explore Haddonfield carefully, keep track of teammates, and avoid giving Michael easy isolated targets. Cooperation is safer than wandering the neighborhood alone.
Heroes: Protect and Use the Town
Interact with Haddonfield's civilians and use the environment to help manage the threat. Protecting civilians and responding to what happens around town are core parts of the Hero role.
Heroes: Find Help and Defend Yourself
Use available weapons when necessary and look for opportunities to contact the police. Weapons create breathing room, but survival and escape remain the priority.
Michael: Hunt with Stealth
Michael Myers is built around stalking and surprise rather than run-and-gun action. Use the neighborhood and moments when Heroes are distracted to close the distance.
Learn the Match Flow Before Taking Risks
During your first games, focus on learning routes, civilian locations, police objectives, weapon opportunities, and where Heroes and Michael are likely to cross paths.
Quick Tips
- Survival and escape come before confronting Michael directly.
- Stay close enough to teammates to react, but never bunch up in one room.
- Civilians and police are part of the match, not background decoration.
- Michael wins isolated chases, so deny him isolated targets.
One Michael Myers player hunts four Heroes of Haddonfield in an asymmetrical multiplayer match. Heroes must cooperate and use Haddonfield's civilians, weapons, and police systems to survive.
Michael Myers
Michael is controlled by one player and focuses on stealth, stalking, positioning, and catching Heroes when they are vulnerable or separated.
Heroes of Haddonfield
Four Heroes cooperate against Michael. Teammates watch each other's backs, protect civilians, search for resources, and work toward survival and escape objectives.
Haddonfield Civilians
The neighborhood contains civilian NPCs who are part of the unfolding match. Hero players account for their safety while Michael creates chaos around town.
Police Response
Heroes can contact the police as part of their response to Michael's attack, giving the Hero side another objective beyond simply hiding.
Weapons and Defense
Heroes use weapons found during play to defend themselves and respond to Michael. They are tools for survival rather than turning the match into a shooter.
Online Match Structure
The primary online format is one Michael Myers player against four Hero players, available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox with online multiplayer support.
Michael Myers leads the killer side while the Heroes of Haddonfield form the four-player survivor team. The Digital Deluxe Edition expands the roster with confirmed characters including Richard and Alexis.
Michael Myers
The Shape is the game's lone 1v4 hunter. Michael stalks Haddonfield with a stealth-focused playstyle and attempts to eliminate the four-player Hero team.
Heroes of Haddonfield
The Hero team consists of four human-controlled players attempting to survive Michael's attack through cooperation, civilian protection, weapons, and escape objectives.
Richard
Richard is a confirmed additional Hero included with the Digital Deluxe Edition who expands the playable Haddonfield roster.
Alexis
Alexis is a confirmed additional Hero included with the Digital Deluxe Edition and is separate from the ordinary civilian NPC population.
Haddonfield Civilians
Civilian residents populate Haddonfield and are not part of the four-player Hero team. Their presence gives Heroes additional people to protect during matches.
Police
Police are tied to the Heroes' efforts to seek outside help during Michael's attack and are part of the match's civilian-response systems.
Haddonfield is a living horror sandbox filled with homes, streets, NPCs, hiding opportunities, escape paths, and police activity. Map awareness matters whether you hunt as Michael Myers or survive as a Hero.
The standalone single-player mode follows Michael Myers from his escape from Smith's Grove Sanitarium into the events of Halloween night in 1978. It is a cinematic story experience separate from the 1v4 multiplayer matches.
