The Final Girl
It’s been six years since the horror you experienced while camping with your friends just after college graduation. Six years since a maniac tore through the campground killing everyone they encountered and in the end only you and one other remained. You don’t remember what exactly happened towards the end, your therapist says that you blocked it all out, but when the authorities finally arrived they found you and your girlfriend barricaded in one of the small cabins half starved and huddled together to fight the cold.
It took years of therapy before you managed to finally put the worst of it behind you and move on. Unfortunately your girlfriend was not able to manage the same and was sent to a psychiatric hospital after she attempted to kill her neighbor. Since then you have not heard anything from her being blocked from seeing or speaking to her for both your sakes.
Now, six years later, you have moved to a small town hidden away deep in the mountains after acing the interview of a lifetime. Your new employer has big plans for the small town of Rock Gate and it is up to you as one of the new locations heads of staff to help see it through. For almost four years you have helped to oversee the massive expansion into the area, but it’s starting again. People are dying.
Overnight the town is cut off from the outside world, the murder rate skyrockets, and the town panics. Friends and neighbors turn on each other as they seek someone to blame. The residents see danger in every shadow and everything spirals out of control. While everyone around you panics, something inside you solidifies and you realize that you are not afraid, you have survived before, and you will again.

There's a bit of an issue regarding your character's last name. If you don't choose the first option with Mr. Connor, where you threaten to throw him out yourself, you don't get an option to input your last name. This means that a couple pages later, at the cafe, Amy refers to you as "Miss unknown" in the main text, and "Miss $surname" in the first option. And speaking of that first option with Mr. Connor, there's also a small error there:
Error: <<if>>: bad conditional expression in <<if>> clause: Unexpected token 'if'
<<if $job is "Lawyer", if $job is "R&D">> Despite not being a member of the security staff they all know that if you are around when something hits the fan it makes their job much easier as you are not afraid to get physical and are capable of laying out most people you meet if the need arises. This has earned you an unofficial position on the security team and many employees will ask you for help if they see you when something happens.<</if>>
An interesting idea. A bit barebones right now, but as a proof of concept it is pretty fun to go through. I'll keep my eye on this one. Best of luck Happy succubus.
