If you please Mrs Voorhees
Note. As of November 2020, the game's servers are no longer live and online play is only available via peer-to-peer matchmaking. Much like the film franchise from which he arose, Jason Voorhees has had a very inconsistent run of quality in video games over the years. He had some okay-ish outings on the NES and the...

About The Game
>Play as Jason Voorhees!
For the first time ever, you will have the opportunity to play as Jason Voorhees, the most famous slasher in horror. Stalk your prey, ambush them whenever you see fit and strike fear in the hearts of many as you become the legend himself! Friday the 13th: The Game will include a variety of kills, new and familiar, that will help you set the tone for the Jason Voorhees that you want to be. You’ll even get to unlock various Jason incarnations from the movies!
Jason will be equipped with a terrifying array of abilities, giving you the control of a hunter at the height of his game. These are his woods, and he knows them all too well. Jason will not only feed off the fear of his victims, but will become stronger as the night progresses. The darker the night, the more terrifying Jason becomes!
Fans of the movies will be able to play as various versions of Jason, including:
- Friday the 13th, Part II
- Friday the 13th, Part III
- Friday the 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives
- Friday the 13th, Part VII: New Blood
- Friday the 13th, Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
- Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
How Will You Survive?
The entire focus of Friday the 13th: The Game is multiplayer. Survival is entirely up to you, the player, as you either stealthily hide from Jason or work together as a team to escape or bring the fight to Jason. Playing as a counselor is all about risk and reward, giving players multiple means of triumph over Jason! Want to hide in the woods as you wait for the police? Perhaps you want to band together and try to take on Jason as a group? Maybe you and a friend decide to fix the boat on the lake and escape while leaving everyone else to their fate? There are endless opportunities to survive the night, but every choice has a consequence.
Friday the 13th: The Game will continually set the pace of change, giving you unfamiliar surroundings while Jason Voorhees looks for his latest victim. No single strategy will ever be reliable, forcing players to adapt and change each time they begin their long night in Camp Blood! Be wary, you never know when or where Jason is going to strike!
Play as the Counselors!
We all remember the various tropes from Friday the 13th, and the game will be no exception! Each counselor type will have strengths and weaknesses, affording players the chance to excel in certain situations. Find the counselor that best suits your play style, or come up with various strategies to win against Jason! Players will have the chance to continually update and improve their characters through unlocks, customization and improvement! The more you play, the more you adapt and become a better all-around counselor!

I’ve been playing this since it came out on the Switch and on PC before that. This is a really good Switch port and so far everyone that I’ve met on Voice Chat has been really cool.
I am loving this game. It's one of my favorite Switch games and I've put over 70 hours into the online alone. It's scary, funny, and fun as hell. You can usually get a full 8 person online match going after a 3-5 minute wait. If anyone from NintendoLife wants to play with me, hit me up.
