For almost fifty years, viewers of John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween have argued about scenes the film never shows. IllFonic now plans to show some of those missing pieces. The studio states that Halloween - The Game will contain a long single player story that supplies parts of the plot the movie skipped.

IllFonic built asymmetrical multiplayer titles like Friday the 13th - The Game; for the new project the team switches focus to solo play. The developers promise the story will answer old questions - how Myers left Smith's Grove Sanitarium, what occurred inside Phelps Garage before the truck was discovered empty and similar points. Players will witness the events instead of hearing about them later.

The campaign is not a straight prequel - it keeps the 1978 timeline but adds new places plus new townspeople - those same characters later appear as survivor options in the multiplayer section. Dr. Samuel J. Loomis delivers voice over between chapters and each chapter contains choices that steer the plot toward different conclusions - the mode invites more than one play through.

IllFonic adds that the single player portion doubles as practice - after completing it, a user should know how to control Myers effectively in online matches. Film fans receive background lore, while new players receive a detailed lesson in the killer's abilities.

The approach ties story detail to direct gameplay training. If the plan succeeds, the link between the two halves of the product will let users feel more attached to Haddonfield but also its residents and the multiplayer chases should feel sharper as a result.
