Final Girl Series 3: The Falconwood Files
***IMPORTANT!*** This Feature Film box is not playable by itself and requires you to also own the Core Box.
Van Ryder Games Overview
Peculiar things are happening in the small town of Falconwood. Government experiments and supernatural occurrences are happening with regularity. You and your friends have begun recording the events in the Falconwood Files (a collective journal your group is keeping). None of the events have involved you or your friends... until now.
How do you stop a monstrosity from a parallel mirror-dimension? Friends, strangers, and everyone in between are disappearing... and they'll never be heard from again unless you willingly enter the mirror dimension to save them.
Horror Movie Classification
Government-Conspiracy / Psychic Sci-Fi Horror
The strongest comparison isn't actually a movie—it's Stranger Things.
Falconwood strongly evokes Hawkins National Laboratory, with secret government experiments, psychic powers, and dangerous supernatural consequences. The Slayer likewise fills the role of the predatory creature unleashed through those experiments, placing it in similar territory to the Demogorgon and the other monsters of the Upside Down.
The Feature Film also draws from the larger tradition of government-conspiracy science fiction and horror that inspired Stranger Things itself, particularly stories involving secret experiments and people developing extraordinary psychic abilities.
That gives it some cinematic kinship with movies such as Firestarter (1984), where a government agency pursues a young woman with powerful psychic abilities.
Closest Screen Comparison: Stranger Things (2016– )
