And Michael Has a Very Interesting Trick
One of the game's most intriguing mechanics is called Shape Jump.
Michael can use darkness to essentially disappear and reposition himself around Haddonfield.
There are some restrictions. Michael can't enter or exit Shape Jump while standing in direct light or while being observed by a civilian.
But if there's a dark area outside someone's field of view?
Michael can potentially appear there.
Suddenly, every dark corner becomes terrifying.
And that's exactly what the developers are going for. The original Halloween famously made Michael frightening because he could simply be standing somewhere in the background, barely noticed by the characters.
The game is turning that cinematic trick into an actual gameplay mechanic.
So remember:
If you're playing multiplayer and you see a dark corner, don't go there.
Actually, don't go anywhere.
Michael probably went there first.
