The Rules and Mechanics

SOLO, COOPERATIVE, AND MORE!
Don’t Look Back allows players to play solo and cooperatively with up to four players against a sinister A.I. Killer. In the core experience, each player will take on the role of a random Character. Each Character has its strengths and weaknesses, forcing Players to find a way for the Characters to work together and survive the night!

In the advanced rules, players will also find rules for another player to take control of the killer, creating a new and exciting experience for the Characters to navigate.


HUGE VARIETY OF KILLERS
Killers in Don’t Look Back can be created using themed killers from individual Plots or randomly generated when they first appear from the shadows! Killers are represented by their 3 Aspects, Visage, M.O., and Traits. This allows for a huge variety in what the Characters will come face-to-face with. Creating Killers in Don’t Look Back allows players the opportunity to recreate their favorite Killers from any horror genre!

 

PLOTS, PLOTS, AND MORE PLOTS!
The Don’t Look Back core book contains five premade Plots to get players immediately into the action. Players will also find rules for randomly generating Plots to create many opportunities for replayability! In addition, Don’t Look Back is supported by a host of VHS expansions with additional Plots, Killers, and Characters for even more tabletop horror experiences!


LINKED PLAY THROUGH TRILOGIES
Who doesn’t love a good horror trilogy? In Don’t Look Back, players will be able to link 3 or more Plots together and follow both the Killer and the Characters through a series of connected Plots. With the addition of Trilogy play, the story will continue through a series of Pursuits or Returns. Will the next Plot take place mere moments after the previous Plot, or weeks or even months later?
