PROPNIGHT MONSTERS MOVIE
PROPNIGHT MONSTERS UPDATE

Propnight fills a void that has been neglected thus far in asymmetrical horror and highlights the important fact that horror doesnвЂ™t always have to check the box of being absolutely terrifying to still fit the genre.

PROPNIGHT MONSTERS UPDATE

Not to mention that this doesnвЂ™t mean Propnight isnвЂ™t capable of being a competitive gameвЂ“it had a competitive matchmaking system until a recent update (presumably being buffered out to be reimplemented in the future). PropnightвЂ™s tone can easily be polarizing for those seeking a more вЂњhardcoreвЂќ survival-horror experience, but itвЂ™s a breath of relief in a genre that has otherwise felt intense and potentially alienating for folks who want a more casual experience. Where Dead By Daylight features its survivors screaming in agony as they dangle from bloody meat hooks, PropnightвЂ™s survivors will deliver melodramatic, Scooby-Doo-esque вЂњIвЂ™m being chased!вЂќ quips вЂ“ the game even allows a random fart mechanic for instances when youвЂ™re bored waiting to be rescued or trying to taunt the killer. In addition to the prop mechanic, Propnight feels fresh from the batch of other asymmetrical horror games on the market right now because it doesnвЂ™t take itself very seriously. While there are currently only six killers, players shouldnвЂ™t have any trouble pinpointing one that suits their murderous needs. High-mobility killers like Igor and The Banshee cater to folks who prefer rush-down gameplay to control map objectives. One killer, The Imposter (clearly a spoof on Slenderman) allows you to disguise yourself as a prop or one of the survivors to stealthily ambush your prey. While playing as a survivor is where Propnight truly shines, its diverse range of killers makes the other side fun to play as well. The system is as surprisingly complex as it is hilarious to watch: Propnight is the only asymmetrical horror game where a killer can get hit over the head by a player transformed into a refrigerator while you hide as a garbage bag in the corner and watch. Or in a desperate situation with nowhere to turn, you can transform into a large item like a bale of hay to try and bonk the killer over the head to stun them. If youвЂ™re up against The Granny, a killer with projectile weapons, you can transform into a smaller target like a soda can to avoid being hit.

If youвЂ™re playing as a survivor that was chased into a garage, you can quickly transform into a toolbox to try and blend in with your surroundings. Transforming into a prop has a variety of uses. The maps vary significantly enough that it feels like a unique experience for each match. This works in PropnightвЂ™s favor in alleviating one of the most commonly critiqued aspects of asymmetrical horror: redundancy. The range of potential props to transform into is impressive: almost every single item on the map can be used as a disguise. This means that in one instance, you could be rolling around as a hotdog and in the next, a giant sword. Matches take place on a randomly selected map that can range from a camp to a castle. Where Propnight most significantly diverges is the survivorsвЂ™ ability to transform into propsвЂ“rocks, scarecrows, suits of armor, backpacks, you name it. The objective of the survivors is to repair 5 different Prop Machines to escape, while the killerвЂ™s objective is to knock each survivor down and carry them to a вЂњHypnochairвЂќ (think electric chair, except less scary). The gameplay paradigm can most closely be likened to Behaviour InteractiveвЂ™s Dead By Daylight: Four players control four different teenagers on a survivor team, while one player controls one of (currently six) killers. And it works вЂ“ being chased down by a killer as a trash can is surprisingly fun! Rather than take the venerated IP route, or fully pivot into the survival-horror route, Propnight took the road less takenвЂ“a lighthearted, somewhat comical route with its prop gimmick. As the genre becomes more saturated, developers have acknowledged that itвЂ™s becoming a more difficult space to break into. Propnight is another addition to the asymmetrical multiplayer horror spaceвЂ“a genre currently in its limelight with hits like Dead By Daylight and Friday The 13th: The Game, and highly anticipated titles like Saber InteractiveвЂ™s Evil Dead: The Game. This is the premise of FNTASTICвЂ™s Propnight:В teenagers transforming into mundane, inanimate objects to avoid being sliced and diced by murderers. But a random rubber ducky sits suspiciously in the middle of the hallway before slowly rolling away, later revealed to be the teen in disguise. The killer gains on the teen, lifts, and revs his chainsaw, rounds a corner, andвЂ¦suddenly, the teen is gone. The killer is making a beeline for a seemingly helpless teenager, barreling down hallways as his victim screams out in terror.
