The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Video game based on 1974 horror film is so terrifying and violent some gamers are afraid to even play it

A video game based on the 1974 horror classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been dubbed one of the scariest games of all time.

The online multiplayer game is so brutally violent and terrifying that many players have been too scared to even finish their first match. 

‘The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre game is awesomely terrifying,’ wrote one gamer, while another exclaimed, ‘This s**t scary as f**k!’

In the game, players get the choice of controlling one of four innocent victims, who must work together to escape the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface and his deranged family of redneck serial killers.

Players begin tied up in the family’s maze-like basement, which is strewn with body parts and torture devices.

Leatherface is also down in the basement and is tasked with hunting down the victims before they can find a lockpick to open the door and run upstairs into the main house.

Once inside the house, they must find various tools to to unlock one of four different escape exits on the property before they can flee for good.

Victims are unable to fight back, so they need to rely on stealth, speed, and craftiness to plot their escapes. 

Alternatively, players can choose to step into the role of the murderous family instead.

As either Leatherface or one of his fellow killers, players need to secure the property and hunt down the victims before they’re able to get out.

They have a variety of brutal weapons and devices to help them, from chainsaws and machetes to traps and padlocks.

Some of the kill scenes are horrifyingly gruesome, and include jamming a rolling pin into a victim’s chest or shoving a victim’s face onto the edge of a live chainsaw.

The killers are all based off of characters from the original 1974 film, such as the deranged hitchhiker, as well as family patriarch Drayton Sawyer – also known as ‘The Cook’.

There are also two new original killer characters, including a bloodthirsty female named Sissy who was a member of Charles Manson’s cult before joining Leatherface’s family.

The game developers faithfully recreated the locations featured in the film, from the derelict farmhouse to the eerie gas station, and even recorded sound effects from the same model of chainsaw used in the movie. 

Kim Henkel, who co-wrote the original 1974 film, was involved in the game’s development. 

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is strictly an online multiplayer game, so each character is controlled by another player. 

Despite some fans complaining that the game has been riddled with bugs and issues including framerate drops, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been a huge success since its release last week.

It reached more than one million players in its first 24 hours and clocked over 25million matches in a matter of days.

Despite a few technical issues, its one praise from many critics, with Gamespot calling it ‘one of the scariest games we’ve ever played’.

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre grossed over $30million at the box office off a budget of around $140,000, instantly becoming a huge hit – despite being banned in several countries due to complaints about its brutality.

It has since become known as one of the most influential horror films of all time, and is credited with originating several elements that are now common in the slasher genre.

It led to a massive franchise that continued the story of Leatherface through nine more movies, including prequels, remakes, and spinoffs.
