In TCM, a unique 4v3 setup allows each round to play out like an actual horror movie. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (TCM) is every bit as nauseatingly tense as the classic movie, all while cleverly gamifying its scares in ways that are satisfying and built for the long haul.Īsymmetrical horror multiplayer games have been experiencing a golden age for several years now, but TCM is already my favorite of them. Bringing those same qualities to a video game adaptation of the movie milestone would be paramount, which is exactly what Gun Media and Sumo Nottingham have done. It's gritty like no other, unflinching in its brutality, and downright terrifying as often as it wants to be. We look forward to sharing more in the future as we reveal further details on gameplay, metagame, and mechanics in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a horror landmark.

The first question is really important you've got to give them enough personality for players to latch on to while leaving room for them to identify with and inhabit these individuals. Not if you expect your players to attach to them in meaningful ways. But creating such a cast of characters is not simply giving them a name and look. Maria is the catalyst, the search party is the cast. Her younger sister Ana, joined by some of Maria’s friends from college, embark on a search mission to find Maria.
