Final Girl: Season 4: A Demon in the Shadows Expansion

Step into the stifling gloom of an ancient sanctuary, clutch your flashlight as the shadows begin to writhe, and face a malevolent entity that feeds on your deepest terrors.

Final Girl: Season 4 – A Demon in the Shadows is a standalone Feature Film expansion for the acclaimed solo survival horror system published by Van Ryder Games. Designed to integrate directly with the Final Girl Core Box, this terrifying installment plunges players into the claustrophobic corridors of an abandoned, desecrated monastery where an ancient demonic presence stalks from the dark. Featuring high-stakes hand management, push-your-luck dice rolling, and heart-pounding thematic decision-making, this expansion pushes the franchise's tension to chilling new heights.

In this Feature Film, the killer—a shapeshifting, nocturnal fiend known as The Umbral Fiend—manipulates ambient light, snuffs out torches, and ambushes victims directly from unlit rooms. Players take on the role of two determined new Final Girls, each equipped with bespoke ultimate abilities and signature survival cards, fighting to rescue terrified bystanders before the demon's wrath consumes the grounds. The sprawling monastery location introduces dynamic light-and-shadow mechanics, sanctified relic crafting, and brittle stained-glass escape routes, ensuring that every turn demands careful risk assessment and desperate improvisation.

Killer and Location Mechanics:

• The Umbral Fiend: A lethal, shadow-stalking killer whose speed and damage dramatically increase when moving through unlit spaces, utilizing dynamic terror cards that extinguish room lights.
• Desecrated Monastery Grounds: A modular board layout featuring light and dark zone states, requiring players to maintain lantern fuel or restore holy braziers to strip away the killer's invulnerabilities.
• Sanctified Relic Crafting: Search crumbling altars and relic vaults to assemble blessed artifacts, consecrated weapons, and wards capable of repelling demonic influence.
• New Final Girls: Play as two distinct survivors with custom health pools, unique setup abilities, and game-changing unlocked final powers tailored for navigating the dark.
