Licensing is a killer drawback

Final Friday was the thirteenth, and satirically, it was one of many final Fridays that you just’ll ever be capable to purchase Friday the thirteenth: Killer Puzzle. It’s unhappy to see this younger spatial puzzle sport, not even sufficiently old to drink, snuffed out so quickly.

In all seriousness, Killer Puzzle is as loving a tribute to the slasher franchise as you could possibly ask for. For essentially the most half, it follows the foundations of the movie collection (Jason can simply seem behind anybody he sees, is weak towards drowning, and so forth), and options nearly each iteration of the hockey-masked horror icon as you could possibly ask for (together with his inexperienced and purple look from the notorious NES title).

So if you wish to get this slice of the life (and afterlife) of one of the vital liked and feared fictional serial killers in historical past, you’ll should act quick. On account of an incapacity to resume the license, this explicit Friday the thirteenth sport and all of its DLC are being faraway from all out there storefronts ( In order that’s Steam, Apple App Retailer, Google Play Retailer, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Retailer, and Ps Retailer) on January 23.

The one encouraging factor about this flip of occasions is that Killer Puzzle was itself a retooling of an authentic title referred to as Slayaway Camp that will likely be out there indefinitely. So whereas this particular sport within the horror-puzzle components subgenre could also be sinking into the depths of historical past without end, there’s an opportunity that it might come again to the useless sometime, possibly with a complete new outward-facing look.

Perhaps the Killer Klowns are on the lookout for extra work?
