THE HISTORY BEHIND YOU

Crystal Lake has a dark history of murders, disappearances and stories best left untold.

It began with Pamela Voorhees. Jason's return turned an old tragedy into a nightmare that would haunt the camp for decades. New killings, false identities and unexplained incidents followed, reaching far beyond the shores of Crystal Lake.

From Forest Green to the events of 2009 and the distant future aboard the Grendel, the nightmare has taken many forms.

Some stories end. Crystal Lake never forgets.

MORE THAN THE KILLER

Crystal Lake contains more than Jason and his victims.

Camp workers have shifts to finish.
Property owners have repairs to arrange.
Local residents have reasons to stay or leave.
Deputies investigate reports and interview witnesses.
Search parties divide the forest into sections.
Medical workers deal with injuries.
Journalists chase leads and publish stories.
Survivors decide whether they can trust one another.

A generator can fail in the middle of the night.
A missing person report can begin as a routine concern.
A road can become impassable after heavy rain.
A damaged radio can delay a call for help.
A rumor can bring curious outsiders into a dangerous area.
A witness can recognize a detail that everyone else overlooked.

Jason can be somewhere else.
The authorities can be occupied with another incident.
A survivor can refuse to speak.
A search team can lose valuable time.
A worker can leave before anyone realizes they are needed.

Even when Jason is nowhere in sight, lives around Crystal Lake continue to collide, unravel, and change.

YOUR LIVING CRYSTAL LAKE

You can investigate the old camp.
You can follow a trail through the forest.
You can search a building.
You can question a witness.
You can repair damaged equipment.
You can organize a search.
You can help a survivor.
You can attempt to escape.

But actions have physical consequences.

Noise can reveal your location.
Bad information can waste precious time.
A failed escape can leave you stranded.
A missed check-in can trigger a search.

You can survive without meeting Jason.
You can fail without the world resetting.
You can change the outcome of an incident.
You can leave consequences for people who arrive later.

Every noise, delay, and damaged escape route can change who makes it out alive.

THIS IS A SIMULATION

This is not a retelling of one Friday the 13th film.

The world provides its established characters, locations, history, incidents, equipment and conflicts.

People continue their routines when you are elsewhere.
Workers finish their shifts.
Authorities investigate new reports.
Search parties follow leads.
Relationships change.
Information spreads through believable channels.
Resources remain limited.

At Crystal Lake, the nightmare keeps unfolding whether you are there to witness it or not.
