Terrorscape: Deadly Hide-and-Seek in the Manor

A game unfolds by alternating a turn for the survivors , then a turn for the killer , until a victory condition is met.

🧍‍♂️ The Survivors’ Tour

Each round begins with:

1. Remove the Noise tokens

2. Check if a victory condition has been met (radio repaired or 5 keys collected at the exit)

Next, each survivor performs one main action , out of six possible options:

1️⃣ Move (1 to 2 spaces)

The survivors move between adjacent locations, unless a door is blocked by an obstacle placed by the killer.

2️⃣ Withdraw your Fear tokens

Accumulating too much fear causes a scream… and therefore noise. This action helps to avoid revealing one’s position.

3️⃣ Use a special action

Each survivor has their own unique ability, and some items also allow for special actions: healing, moving through a secret passage, etc.

4️⃣ Remove an obstacle

Survivors can remove a blockage placed by the killer on a door, by announcing it.

5️⃣ Repairing the radio

Only in the living room can survivors progress along the repair track. Each repair generates noise. Once all 5 repairs are completed, a 5-lap countdown begins before rescue arrives.

6️⃣ Search a place

In certain specific locations, survivors can draw Item cards (weapons, healing items, tools… or keys). But searching can also generate noise.

After all the survivors have played:

• A survivor performs a discovery step (draws 2 cards and possibly keeps 1)

• Survivors must report all locations where noise has been generated

Noise is central: it is the killer’s main source of information.

🔪 The Killer’s Turn

The killer is playing alone against everyone.

His turn unfolds as follows:

1️⃣ Reappear (if it was in stealth mode)
2️⃣ Use Quick Ability cards (detection, movement, fear…)
3️⃣ Choose between:

• Use a Special Ability card
  OR

• Perform two actions from the following:

  • Move

  • Search (check if a survivor is in the same location)

4️⃣ Optionally use a Slow Ability card.
5️⃣ Draw 3 cards (and potentially level up).

When the killer performs a Search action and a survivor is present, an encounter is triggered:

• The survivor rolls defense dice (modified by fear and objects).

• If his defense is sufficient, he repels the killer.

• Otherwise, he suffers an injury.

• Two injuries eliminate one survivor.

• If a survivor is eliminated, the killer wins immediately.
