Final Girl Solo: Don't Sleep Too Much! (Extreme Horror)

SOLO PLAYTHROUGHS' PATREON PAGE: / soloplaythroughs
SOLO PLAYTHROUGHS' MERCHANDISE: www.teespring....
In this episode of Solo Playthroughs, Greg is excited to feature Final Girl*, with a playthrough of Frightmare on Maple Lane*! This Feature Film has us playing as the lone heroin with a chance to take down the maniacal Dr. Fright. Every rest includes the risk of never waking up, with Dr. Fright's' bloodlust growing as the town's death toll mounts. Our Final Girl is Sheila. Will Sheila be able to convince enough of the townsfolk to assist her as she searches for the items she needs to put together a plan to bring an end to Dr. Fright's reign of terror? Or will Dr. Fright add her to his pile of victims? Sleeping has never been so terrifying!

Another new-to-Solo Playthroughs this week, and I have a bunch more coming down the pipe. But look out for a new Mage Knight video to be published in a few days (no live playthrough this week). Happy Gaming! Greg

Can’t wait to get this one on my table!! Nice playthrough, Greg!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks, BGT! I’m looking forward to mixing and matching the different Feature Films. I played a few games against Geppetto and he’s pretty wild!

Greg, just a note to let you know how much I appreciate the amount of work you must put into editing. As someone who's tried to do this myself, I realize how hard it can be to keep the pacing going! But I want you to know there's at least one subscriber who notices and deeply appreciates the post-shooting work you do to keep things moving along. It jumped out at me in particular this time because near the end you had a wonderful, well, *montage* where you're considering different options. Rather than cut that out, you instead edited through it so we could share your thought process. Which is exactly what I most enjoy about your work: how meticulously you include the viewer. Thank you. Also, I know it must have been frustrating when you backed up near the end, but you made it look at painless as possible in the editing. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks for this kind comment, Tom! Editing is definitely still more guesswork than science for me at this point. I do try to put some decision points and backtracks in (even the frustrating ones!), but I also want to be really careful to not be confusing, esp for those less familiar with the game. But, as you know, the editing in general can be really tedious. This is one of the reasons I have started doing more live playthroughs of the longer games I know really well (and can play relatively fast), leaving the edited videos for “new-to-the-channel” games and shorter playthroughs. Running this channel has been a constantly evolving balancing act! 🙂

I LOVE this game! I wish I backed season 1, but I went full in season 2! This is the ultimate use of the Hostage Negotiator system. So glad you are featuring this game on the channel. I hope you play the other scenarios as well.

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Glad to hear this, Brian! Always fun to know find out what games really click with people. I’m for sure planning on getting at least one game of Hans and one of Geppetto on the channel. 🙂

[@WildlyStapled]

Cool game, somehow my friend circles never mentioned it. Thanks for the showcase!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks, Ben! It’s a very cool game. 🙂 I think the pledfe manager of latest Kickstarter is still active. There’s already 10 feature films made with 10 killers and 20 final girls so there’s a ton of content.

[@gwgumby]

Wow! This game is so hard I just assumed no one would ever play the extreme side of the board, and you played through this beautifully. What a great playthrough! Impressive!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks, Greg! That machete really helps on either side of the board. :)

[@synthastro]

I really enjoyed this playthrough, thank you! Looking forward to another episode!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks, David! I should have a playthrough of the Carnival of Blood feature film on the channel soonish. 🙂

[@tomz346]

At some stage the killer and final girl swapped clothes😀

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Ha! I realized I have a tendency to do this with Final Girl and it's super weird. The red/pink is fine in theory but it doesn't work for my brain apparently. At some point, I'll likely sub out the Killer for a different color meeple from a different game. :)

[@peterxu5043]

Final girl. Wow. It is not in my collection, however, it is frequently mentioned in all board gamer social media. Well played, thanks for sharing. Btw, it is happy to find both Mage Knight and Arkham Horror in one channel. Thx!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks, Peter! I try to strike a balance between new games and my established faves, going back to Mage Knight and Arkham regularly. 🙂

[@peterxu5043]

@@SoloPlaythroughs My apologies. There is a project and I have to focus on it and my reply is late. Yeah, your channel quite a lot good board games and very balanced. Quite happy to subscribe your channel and looking forward to your new show!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

@@peterxu5043 Thanks, Peter! :)

[@gregratosh250]

great playthrough. I hate this game, but I love your playing of it! One big mistake though: In 41:10 you take the cost-0 cards that you just used in the previous round. They were not available for you to pick up in this round.

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Hey Groggy! I can see people bouncing off this game quick, esp if they’re looking for something meatier, but it works for me. 🙂 As for the mistake, I appreciate the comment because I should have made this clearer. I actually just decided not to do anything for an action phase and went right to a new planning phase w/ my full 5 time to spend. So no mistake this time!

[@mrmacho333]

I only just now found out about this game. So, I missed all the kickstarters and none of my game stores have the game. Was this just a kickstarter cash grab to never be sold retail?

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Hey Stephen! Not sure how Van Ryder normally works, but I suspect that the game will be available on their website shortly after the Kickstarter fulfills. I know that was the case after the first Kickstarter for Final Girl. I believe they just ended up selling out of all their stock!
