Last Year is a 5 vs 1 multiplayer survival horror game where 5 players play as a group of classic high school characters and must survive against one player that’s playing as the Killer. As the students, your goal is to escape from East Side Highschool and make it out alive. You’ll need to work together by searching for resources and crafting weapons if you expect to survive in Last Years 80’s kinda environment.
Last Year lets you play as the Killer which is a completely different experience and you’ll be hunting down and ambushing the other players as they try to escape. There are multiple killer types to choose from and each one has its own unique weapons and abilities which lets you choose the playing style you want. You can move quick and light as The Strangler, or go in heavy as The Slasher. All the Killers have predator mode which lets them unspawn and turn invisible. This lets Killers appear from anywhere, ensuring students are never fully safe.

5. Samantha: Samantha is the most unpopular girl at East Side and is secretly in love with Chad who has no clue who she is. She has a picture of him in her locker and dreams of the day when he’ll finally ask her to the prom. She spends her summers at Camp where she learned first aid skills that make her the team’s Medic class.
The 3 killers in LAST YEAR you can choose from are:
1. The Slasher: First we have the Slasher who is the crazed janitor from East Side High. His preferred weapons include machetes, axes, and even chainsaws. He’s the strongest and fastest of the Killers and is able to eliminate his victims with melee attacks and laying deadly traps.
2. The Strangler: Next we have the Strangler who is a deranged hobo that likes to strangle his victims with his bare hands. As the Strangler you’re able to dash and grab a victim. Once grabbed, you can kidnap the player and drag them away to another location, forcing the others to decide whether to come to the rescue or save themselves.
3. The Giant: At last we have the Giant who is an escaped convict with a thirst for teenage blood. This 6’8 monster has abilities which include grabbing players and throwing them across the level or against a wall. He’s strong and able to take a lot of damage, but he’s slower and less agile than the Strangler and Slasher.
