<P> Friday the 13th: The Game is a semi-open world third - person survival horror game set throughout the 1980s in a variety of locations in and around the fictional Camp Crystal Lake from the Friday the 13th franchise . </P> <P> The game is an asymmetrical multiplayer video game, with up to eight people able to play in one game session . One player is randomly selected to control Jason Voorhees whose objective is to kill as many counselors as possible before time runs out . Playing as Jason grants special time restricted abilities including being able to sense nearby counselors and to teleport anywhere on the map . The remaining players control the counselors, who can temporary stun Jason using firecrackers and bear traps as well as the various projectile and melee based weapons that are found throughout the map . The main objective of playing as a counselor is to escape the map alive, which can be done more quickly by completing the map's side objectives (which are easier to complete when coordinating with other players) that will allow counselors to escape or to survive long enough until time runs out on the session, Jason may also be defeated with an "epic win condition" that requires both teamwork and planning, and is difficult to perform . A player may also control Tommy Jarvis, who becomes playable when certain conditions are met . </P> <P> Although the game was originally planned to be multiplayer only, a single player mode via an update was announced for a Summer 2017 release, despite the stretch goal for US $1.625 million to unlock it not being reached . The mode will consist of objective - based missions that will allow the player to take control of Jason against offline camp counselor bots . Some of the missions will be adaptations of the films, while others are original scenarios . </P> <P> On October 27, 2017, Gun released a trailer teasing a new game mode called "Paranoia ." However on February 1, 2018 it was announced that development on Paranoia mode would be put on hold in order to focus on the new dedicated servers feature . </P>
