Notes[ | ]
Although Tommy isn't technically considered a counselor, he can be summoned in the game. All of Tommy's stats are maxed, and he's the only one who can kill Jason if certain criteria are met. Refer to his page for steps on bringing him into the game as well as other special information.
Rob Dier ("The First Victim") also makes an appearance in the game's intro, but he dies immediately. He's currently an unplayable counselor.
The character Victoria Sterling, who is unlocked later in the game, is based on the character Melissa (exact outfit and hair) from Friday the 13th Part 7.
Deborah Kim, "the bookish girl"-- like Victoria Sterling-- is based on a character from Friday the 13th part 7 (Maddy). Deborah's costume is based off the first outfit Maddy wears.
Jason Voorhees[ | ]
At the initial release of the game there where six different playable Jason's to choose from, all based on the film series itself. These being Parts 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9. There was also a Tom-Savini-Jason variant created exclusively for backers of the Kickstarter Campaign, later they added a Jason variant based off of the color scheme from the 1989 Nintendo Entertainment System video game of the same name.

Trivia[ | ]
- Each Jason has their strengths and weakness mostly based on events depicted from the Friday the 13th film series. For instance, Part 6 Jason was the most noticeable one for using throwing knives in the movie, therefore, he starts off with six when the game begins.
- Four of the counselors in this game were based on Kickstarter backers who donated ten-thousand dollars to make an appearance as a counselor in the game. These counselors in particular are Eric, Adam, Brandon, and Kenny.
