Last Year was a game kickstarted … last year … about a group of teenagers trying to escape from a deranged killer. The Kickstarter campaign raised over $114,000 and looked like it’d be a swell time. The game would pit five players against one murderer. To be honest, it sounded (and looked) an awful lot like Friday the 13th, which made it so appealing in the first place.
