About the Game

It's another summer at Camp Keepalive, and things are about to get messy.

In this turn-based strategy game set in a camp straight out of an 80's horror movie, you are in control of a group of counselors on a mission to save the campers from the horrors that lurk in the night (and the camp from a series of unfortunate wrongful death lawsuits).

The campers may be dull-witted and the monsters may be relentless, but with each counselor having their own unique abilities, there's always a way to save the day.

Gameplay focuses on strategic decision-making, where player must always think a few turns ahead and where one wrong move can lead to a sudden reduction in staff...

Camp Keepalive: Endless Summer contains all the content of the original game with update graphics and UI, as well as new maps, counselors, and monsters. And with Endless Summer mode, you'll never run out of challenges to face.

Just because they work for cheap doesn't mean they're not talented. Constantly putting their lives on the line just by showing up, our counselors each have a unique skill to help them - and everyone else - survive the night. 

Take Dave, for example - a fearless leader. When he can get his mind off his next romantic liaison, he can turn his talents towards keeping the campers in line. With his Gather ability, Dave can pull all nearby campers to him, making it much easier to guide them to safety.

Ashley, on the other hand, tends to think the best way to keep the campers safe is to erase as many monsters as possible from existence. Fortunately, as the descendent of a long line of hunters, she is able to do this extremely well. With her Hunt ability, she can eliminate most any monster she targets. Unfortunately, if the monsters get the drop on her, she's just as vulnerable as everybody else.

By building a team of four from our staff, you'll have everything you need to get out there, save the campers, and keep our summer camp hopes and dreams alive for one more night.

Is it wrong to call something a monster without truly knowing what dwells within its innermost self? 

Maybe.

But not these guys - they are all extremely monstrous and will happily kill almost anything in their path.

The Wolfmen, for instance, have an insatiable hunger for fresh camper meat. They scour the woods, constantly searching out the nearest camper they can to make a meal of them. And so help you if you let one into the Mess Hall...

The Pleathermasks, on the other hand, clearly have some darker fire driving their malevolent behavior. They pick a single counselor and put all their energy into hunting that one down, ignoring all other victims until they do. It's a single-minded dedication that would be admirable in a lot of careers, but less so for murder.

By learning about the various monsters and how they behave, you'll be able to plan your actions to stay as safe and productive as possible.
