Character roles and abilities
The 1v4 multiplayer roster is divided between Michael Myers, who stalks and kills his targets, and Civilians, who try to save their neighbors and themselves.
Michael starts with Killer Sense and Shape Jump for stalking and slaying, and his loadout can include three selected abilities such as Reality Tear, Blackout, and Detection Pulse.
Civilians find and convince residents, then guide them toward randomized escapes. Each playable Civilian has unique stats, special traits, and a signature personality.
