The family house in the Texas Chain Saw Massacre is widely regarded as the most recognizable location in the original film. It has been faithfully replicated in the game version, fulfilling fans' expectations. As the house materializes in the game, fans of the 1974 horror masterpiece are deeply affected, particularly when illuminated by the sun.
Set in April 1973, months prior to the events in the movie, the game portrays a group of young victims who become entangled in the sinister actions of Leatherface and his unhinged family members. This asymmetrical horror game immerses players directly into the perspective of the victims, who find themselves bound and must escape the family house before falling prey to their captors. Follow these tips to avoid a gruesome demise at the hands of these innovative killers.
6 Basement
The family portion of the Texas Chain Saw Massacre commences with the captive confined to the basement cells. An unsettling prelude to an endeavor for freedom ensues as the victims must liberate themselves from their restraints with minimal noise. Should the noise meter reach its peak, the family would become aware of the escape attempt, halting their preparations for their peculiar feast and seeking additional victims for their main course.
Once released from the oppressive chains, the subsequent step will entail acquainting oneself with the surroundings and locating a suitable route to flee. With five potential exit doors to choose from, procure a lock pick, select a maximum of two tools, and hastily make a desperate sprint to the ground level.
5 Family House
The iconic family house is now in view, so ignore the temptation to admire one of the most renowned locations in horror history and prepare to discover an exit route. Each exit will be securely locked and equipped with electric fences.
Specific objects are essential for a successful escape from the family house, but the required items may vary depending on the chosen exit. Beware of Grandpa, who may be present in either the living room or the dining room. The victim might need to courageously ascend the stairs, as this is where the family members' chambers are located. However, it is also where one can locate fuse boxes and other necessary materials for the escape.
4 Car Graveyard
The car graveyard does not provide a pleasant escape route, yet it is an essential progression in the game. To gain access to the graveyard, the victim must navigate to the back porch as the electrified gate prevents entry. The next vital step towards survival entails locating a vehicle that is linked to the gate and then disconnecting its power source by deactivating the battery. It is important to have a specific tool to unlock the gate, but accomplishing this task will bring the players one step closer to their ultimate escape.
3 Fusebox Tunnel Basement
In order to escape, the player must venture into the basement and retrieve a fuse from one of the rooms in the house. To assist them and their friends, they will need to utilize a tool to unlock the fuse box and then solve a puzzle to access its contents. Typically, there are two potential locations where fuses can be found, while the fuse box will be situated in one specific area.
Fuses are located in the Dining, Sitting, Living, and Bone rooms, while the fuse boxes could be found in either the luggage, upper storage, or the Hitchhiker's bedroom, which is unequivocally the most eerie spot to venture into for this escape tactic.
2 Driveway
The rear of the house gives the victim this potential route for escaping via the driveway which leads out of the property. But it's not as straightforward as it sounds.
The clever hunters have installed generators that activate electrified pipes at the driveway's end, requiring the victim to locate these generators and disable them by any means necessary. The generators can be found either in the front field or the barn. Once this objective is accomplished, leave the driveway and experience the sweet taste of freedom.
1 Pressure Valve
The pressure valve exit, located at the back of the house, serves as the potential route for the victim's escape. To successfully navigate this pathway, it will require a certain level of skill in effectively manipulating the pressure valve connected to the gate. Commence the process by removing the handle using a suitable tool, then proceed towards the pump and rotate the handle. A moment of liberation awaits the victim upon their departure through the gate.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is out now and available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
