Master the horror simulators with these expert tips and strategies
Mystery Mode is best for suspenseful experiences where you don't know who the killer is. Supervillain Mode works great when you want a classic horror movie feel with a known antagonist. Killer Controller mode gives you direct control for a more strategic experience.
Characters with strong bonds are more likely to protect each other and make dramatic sacrifices. Setting up romantic couples or best friends before starting creates more emotional moments when the killing begins.
Smaller casts (3-8) create intense, fast-paced thrillers. Medium casts (8-15) offer classic slasher movie vibes. Large casts (15+) deliver epic bloodbaths but may feel overwhelming. Match your cast size to the story you want to tell.
Adding character portraits makes the experience much more immersive. You can upload images from your device or paste image URLs. This is especially helpful when tracking who's still alive in larger casts.
Each archetype has distinct strategic tendencies. Strategic Masterminds form alliances early, Challenge Beasts focus on winning safety, Social Butterflies build relationships, and Wildcards are unpredictable. Knowing these patterns helps predict gameplay.
Edgic analysis shows you which counselors are getting the most screen time and positive edits. Characters with CP (Complex Personality) ratings often go far. UTR (Under the Radar) players might be sleeper picks for the finale.
Hidden advantages, tribe swaps, and double eliminations can completely shift the game. Pay attention to who holds advantages and which alliances might be vulnerable to upcoming twists.
The voting history reveals alliance structures. Look for consistent voting blocs and note when someone flips. These patterns often predict future blindsides and betrayals.
For a balanced game, use roughly 1 witch per 5-6 villagers. Too few witches makes the game easy for innocents; too many makes it hopeless. The random witch option creates suspenseful games where even you don't know the odds.
Characters with existing rivalries are more likely to accuse each other. Trusted allies defend each other during trials. Setting up complex relationship webs before starting creates more dramatic accusations and defenses.
Each witch class has unique abilities that affect gameplay. Some focus on eliminations, others on manipulation or protection. Mixing different witch classes in your coven creates varied strategies.
Contestants who consistently fail challenges become easy targets. Those who win safety too often may be seen as threats. The sweet spot is performing well enough to avoid elimination while not appearing too dangerous.
In Cull House, the group votes to eliminate. Being well-liked protects you from the cull. Watch for social outcasts - they're often the first targets regardless of challenge performance.
Pay attention to who votes together. Majority alliances control the game, but being in a minority bloc isn't death - it just means you need challenge wins to survive.
Yes! Slasher, Final Girl Isle, and Cull House all support cloud saves. Look for the save/load buttons in the game interface. Your progress is stored in your browser and can be synced across devices.
Click on the character portrait circle during cast setup. You can either upload an image from your device or paste a URL to an image hosted online (like Imgur). Portraits appear throughout the game.
Absolutely! The cast library includes pre-made casts, but you can customize names, portraits, and stats to recreate any characters you want. Many players simulate seasons with Big Brother houseguests, Survivor contestants, or fictional characters.
Edgic is a portmanteau of "edit" and "logic" - a system for analyzing how characters are portrayed. It originated from Survivor fan communities. In our simulators, it tracks character visibility (how much screen time they get) and tone (positive, negative, or mixed portrayal).
