The Shape

Michael Myers was six years old in 1963 when he killed his sister Judith, and he was locked away at Smith's Grove Sanitarium until the day he walked out of it. Evil Within grows the longer he watches you, which is why Save the Best for Last rewards him for holding back.

The Hillbilly

Max Thompson Jr. grew up bricked into a room of the family farmhouse, fed through a hole in the wall, and killed his parents the day he got out. He still crosses Coldwind Farm at a sprint behind his Chainsaw, with Enduring to shrug off the pallet that stops him.

The Artist

Carmina Mora took a phone call while her brother Matias drowned in a creek, and the crows stopped her at the bridge called DeathLeap. Birds of Torment sends those crows down a line across the map, and Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance takes the loudest generator with it.

Kwon Tae-young

Kwon Tae-young built MiNA, a virtual idol running on a personality matrix he wrote himself, and was thrown from a balcony over his phone by a man in a bright yellow coat. Five Moves Ahead and Flow State are a developer's answer to being hunted.

Alan Wake

Alan Wake disappeared from Bright Falls thirteen years ago into the Dark Place, and kept typing there, rebuilding a Dead of Night script from memory to write himself a way out. Champion of Light turns his flashlight into a weapon, and Deadline puts the pressure back on the skill checks.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizza

Freddy Fazbear's Pizza brings the animatronics, the arcade and the stage into the Withered Isle. Finishing the generator at the stage wakes the band up, and the endoskeleton in Parts and Service is the one from the Animatronic's mori.
