Following the success of the original ''VideoGame/LakeviewCabin'', ''[[http://www.lakeviewcabingame.com/ Lakeview Cabin Collection]]'' presents a loving tribute to the horror movies of the 70's and 80's, through the guise of a Horrorfest playing a collection of movies from the ''Lakeview Cabin'' series.
This time around, the player has four characters at their command, and may guide them through the coming terrors however they wish... Will you manage to keep everyone alive?
Four episodes ''Lakeview Cabin Collection'' are planned. The most recent installment, Episode 2/''Lakeview Cabin IV'' was released on July 15th, 2015.
----
!!''Lakeview Cabin Collection'' generally presents the following tropes:
* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** ''IV'' is about fighting cannibals in a mansion, ala ''Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'', loosely tied into the other films aside from being near said lake.
** Beating each of the main movies unlocks access to an alternate movie mode featuring a different sort of threat and [[EndlessGame a shift in priorities]].
* AnArmAndALeg: Characters can lose a limb if they aren't careful. These severed limbs can then be picked up and carried around.
* AnyoneCanDie: Depending, of course, upon your gameplay.
** EverybodyLives: Tricky, but possible. Also counts as EarnYourHappyEnding.
* BoobyTrap:
** You can attempt to lure your enemies into traps in ''III'', such as getting them to step on a bear trap.
** The bear traps return in ''IV''; the mansion and slaughterhouse also feature traps that can screw over your protagonists if you bumble into them.
* ClothingCombat: Socks and underwear are some of the items whose only real function is to throw at the bad guys, which does deal a small amount of damage.
* DaylightHorror: The monsters can come at any time, even during daylight. In ''III'', you can invoke this by ringing the bell.
* DisgustingPublicToilet:
** One of the toilets at the movie theater obviously hasn't been cleaned for a long, ''long'' time, and is backed up to the point of being completely unusable. There's also spiderwebs overhead.
** One of the public restrooms in ''III'' has been completely boarded up and left to rot.
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:"The sewers SCREAM at me"...]]
* EndlessGame:
** ''Lake of the Dead'' is effectively a LastStand scenario: see how many zombies you and your friends can take down before you're completely overwhelmed.
** ''Treasure of the Vampire Rednecks'' has you raiding their mansion trying to collect as much gold as possible before you're all killed.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: A variation with motorcycles. If you drive the motorcycle into the large weight, the water, or either of the killers, it will cause a massive explosion, likely killing the rider, but certainly damaging whoever or whatever it runs into.
** The gas cans in ''IV'' are just as volatile, [[MadeOfExplodium exploding into massive fireballs]] if they hit anyone.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Episode 2, ''Lakeview Cabin IV: Curse of the Lake'' is set in a mansion. The same mansion you can see on the other side of the lake in ''III'' the whole time.
** The HubLevel has a locked room you can peek into. Peeking becomes a major gameplay mechanic in ''IV'' for navigating the mansion and slaughterhouse.
* FullFrontalAssault
** In ''III'', each character can strip nude, while still being able to fight and attack the killers.
** In ''IV'', the family members in the bathroom, the statue hall, and one of the ones in the showers, are nude and still try to kill you as normal. In addition, Piggy is completely nude aside from the pig head.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Originally, only the player characters could be damaged by corpses and body parts. The enemies in ''IV'' can be damaged this way, as well. This allows the player to fight and kill enemies with their own severed leg, or the corpses of their companions.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Can happen in several variations. The simplest version is knocking down an enemy, and using the weapon they drop against them.
** The explosives in ''IV'' have a radius roughly the size of most of the rooms, making it difficult to kill anyone with them without also blowing the user up.
** On a deeper level, player characters killed in ''III'' can return as zombies if their bodies end up in the lake, and will attack anyone else, including the person who killed them. Similarly, since [[GrievousHarmWithABody thrown corpses deal damage]] in ''IV'', it's possible to kill someone by hitting them with their victims.
* HubLevel: Presented as a movie theater holding a Horrorfest, where you can switch between multiple characters and fool around a bit before heading into the main game by selecting which movie to see. [[spoiler:There is, of course, a twist to this as well, with a zombie-like monster with a machete stalking the sewers.]]
* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: It's entirely possible to accidentally ([[VideogameCrueltyPotential or not...]]) hit your companions with friendly fire.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Cardboard boxes, backpacks, flyswatters, guitars, chickens... [[GrievousHarmWithABody your companions]]... if you can pick it up, you can throw it.
* InterfaceScrew: Drinking and taking hits from a bong will shake and blur the screen respectively. You'll be back to normal if you take a swig of coffee.
** ''IV'' uses a horrifying version of this. The enemies are much more plentiful and way easier to defeat than the two killers in ''III'', but killing them (or otherwise being covered in blood) causes the screen to get darker and redder. As the character kills more people, the screen becomes distorted and filtered, horrifying noises can be heard in the background, and jump scares can appear when entering a room. The effect can be reversed by stepping outside the mansion.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The child and the father in ''III'' and [[spoiler:the sewer monster's first and second forms]] in [[spoiler:the hub world]] have their own tense and PsychoStrings filled theme song that appears when they appear and try to kill the main characters. The monster rats in ''IV'' have one, as well.
* ManOnFire: Be careful around campfires, matches, flares, flare guns, or gasoline... They can be used to burn the enemies to a crisp if they don't enter the water first, though.
* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: You and your companions can suffer ''horrific'' injuries, such as snapping a limb clean off or having your chest and/or face torn open, and ''keep going''.
* OffscreenTeleportation: The [[spoiler:sewer monster]] basically acts on the same movement rules as Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers. While on screen, he moves at a snail's pace that a one-legged character could easily outpace. When the camera's not on him, however, he has a tendency to almost instantly close the gap between him and his victims.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:The slasher in the hub area's sewers]] will turn into a [[spoiler:speedy rat monster]] when it's halfway dead.
* PsychoStrings: Each time a character is seriously hurt is accompanied with a shrill violin noise, and each of the songs that accompany the appearance of the monsters feature these in them.
* RakeTake: If you step on a rake, the force of the stick coming up is enough to knock you flat on your back. You can use it against the killers too.
* RasputinianDeath
** Your characters can potentially suffer through these.
** The child in ''III'' takes a ridiculous amount of punishment before he goes down.
* ResourcesManagementGameplay: Same as in the first game, but more pronounced here, as even one poor decision can mean the difference between prevailing and a TotalPartyWipe.
* ScareChord: Plays whenever somebody is injured, whether it's one of your heroes being hurt or them fighting back against the killers.
* SequelEscalation: The original game had only one playable character and a relatively small island. ''Collection'' features four for each scenario you're in, and the island of the previous game is also much bigger. Episode 2 is said to have 25 rooms in the mansion.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:The sewer monster]] is dressed like [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]].
* ShowWithinAShow: The HubLevel presents the various episodes as just fictional horror movies the characters in the hub level can watch. [[spoiler:That doesn't mean that there isn't a ''real'' killer residing in the hub, though.]]
* StoryBreadcrumbs: Once again, players must explore each area and put the pieces together. ''III'' lets you find [[ApocalypticLog scraps of paper]] containing information about the {{Backstory}}. ''IV'''s even stingier about its story, with the single note it gives (The Last Will) requiring you to [[GuideDangIt do some pretty elaborate steps to get it]].
----
!!''Lakeview Cabin III'' also holds examples of:
* TheAlcoholic: There is a lot of booze, in the forms of both cheap 1-use beer and infinite use whiskey, laying around the Cabin in ''III''.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: If you want to summon the monsters in ''III'', all you need to do is ring the bell.
* BagOfHolding: A backpack in ''III'' can hold a seemingly infinite amount of items.
* BoozeBasedBuff: Drinking booze or taking a hit from the bong will cause InterfaceScrew, but will also prevent the character from taking fall damage.
* CarpetOfVirility: Both of the male leads in ''III'' have plenty of chest hair, much like the original protag.
* CameBackWrong: If a corpse is [[spoiler:thrown into the lake]], it will later come back as a ravenous zombie.
* DeathFromAbove: Using the zipline in ''III'' will cause the weather vane on the next house to fall down. If anyone is standing beneath it when it falls, whether enemy or friend, they will take massive damage. [[AwesomeButImpractical This requires such precise timing that it's impractical to use in actual gameplay, though]].
* TheLoad: Nearly all of the items have some unique function, or can at the very least be thrown or swung at the killers to deter them. [[https://twitter.com/Hypnohustler/status/608589872572575744 Word of God confirms]] that the dog in ''III'' really only exists to screw everything up and look cute. There's an achievement tied to beating the game with the dog still alive, discouraging the players from [[ShootTheDog shooting it]].
* NemeanSkinning: A somewhat gruesome example, as the child will wear the dog as a hat if he kills it offscreen.
* PapaWolf[=/=]RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The father in ''III'' will burst into tears if he sees that his child has been killed, and promptly becomes faster and tougher to kill.
* PsychopathicManChild: One of the main villains in ''III'' is a serial killer who is about the size of an adult, but with a child-like cry, a mask of a child, and is shown to both be very simple-minded (his tactics mainly include just rushing at anyone he sees, even if it involves going straight into fire), and also seems to have a love for teddy bears, as giving one to him will allow the player to get a free hit in on him.
* RogueProtagonist: [[spoiler:The father in ''III'' appears to be a balding version of the protagonist of the original game, indicating he's joined his wife and children.]]
----
!!''Lakeview Cabin IV'' shows instances of:
* BasedOnAGreatBigLie: ''IV'' opens with a spiel of this nature:
-->''The game you're about to play is an account of the tragedy that befell a group of four youths. Names have been changed to respect what was left of the survivors.''
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: The layout of ''IV'''s mansion and slaughterhouse are randomly generated.
* ChainsawGood: The chainsaw in ''IV'' is probably the deadliest weapon in the game so far. It shreds through targets effortlessly, and because it can be held down, there's no need to time it like most other weapons. Acquiring it requires killing the pig man or reaching the attic, however.
* DeathByMaterialism: In ''Treasure of the Redneck Vampires'', escape isn't an option: the heroes are too busy raiding the manor for as much gold as they can find.
* FourGirlEnsemble: ''IV'' features an all-female band.
* HarmlessVillain: The elderly cannibal in ''IV'' will trigger the alarm like anyone else, but they have very low health, and their attacks will not damage or even knock down the player characters.
* PaperThinDisguise: In ''IV'', you can find a rat mask. Wearing it makes the [[LightningBruiser monster rats]] ignore the player.
* PrecisionFStrike: Used in ''IV'' for [[spoiler:The Last Will]].
* PregnantHostage: You can find a pregnant woman and [[VideogameCaringPotential try to save her]].
* RedAlert: Several rooms in ''IV'''s mansion feature an alarm switch that the cannibals can flip in order to alert their fellow residents that something's up.
* SanitySlippage: Implied by ''IV'''s {{Interface Screw}}age, when your heroines get covered in blood -- whether it's their own or someone else's.
This time around, the player has four characters at their command, and may guide them through the coming terrors however they wish... Will you manage to keep everyone alive?
Four episodes ''Lakeview Cabin Collection'' are planned. The most recent installment, Episode 2/''Lakeview Cabin IV'' was released on July 15th, 2015.
----
!!''Lakeview Cabin Collection'' generally presents the following tropes:
* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** ''IV'' is about fighting cannibals in a mansion, ala ''Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'', loosely tied into the other films aside from being near said lake.
** Beating each of the main movies unlocks access to an alternate movie mode featuring a different sort of threat and [[EndlessGame a shift in priorities]].
* AnArmAndALeg: Characters can lose a limb if they aren't careful. These severed limbs can then be picked up and carried around.
* AnyoneCanDie: Depending, of course, upon your gameplay.
** EverybodyLives: Tricky, but possible. Also counts as EarnYourHappyEnding.
* BoobyTrap:
** You can attempt to lure your enemies into traps in ''III'', such as getting them to step on a bear trap.
** The bear traps return in ''IV''; the mansion and slaughterhouse also feature traps that can screw over your protagonists if you bumble into them.
* ClothingCombat: Socks and underwear are some of the items whose only real function is to throw at the bad guys, which does deal a small amount of damage.
* DaylightHorror: The monsters can come at any time, even during daylight. In ''III'', you can invoke this by ringing the bell.
* DisgustingPublicToilet:
** One of the toilets at the movie theater obviously hasn't been cleaned for a long, ''long'' time, and is backed up to the point of being completely unusable. There's also spiderwebs overhead.
** One of the public restrooms in ''III'' has been completely boarded up and left to rot.
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:"The sewers SCREAM at me"...]]
* EndlessGame:
** ''Lake of the Dead'' is effectively a LastStand scenario: see how many zombies you and your friends can take down before you're completely overwhelmed.
** ''Treasure of the Vampire Rednecks'' has you raiding their mansion trying to collect as much gold as possible before you're all killed.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: A variation with motorcycles. If you drive the motorcycle into the large weight, the water, or either of the killers, it will cause a massive explosion, likely killing the rider, but certainly damaging whoever or whatever it runs into.
** The gas cans in ''IV'' are just as volatile, [[MadeOfExplodium exploding into massive fireballs]] if they hit anyone.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Episode 2, ''Lakeview Cabin IV: Curse of the Lake'' is set in a mansion. The same mansion you can see on the other side of the lake in ''III'' the whole time.
** The HubLevel has a locked room you can peek into. Peeking becomes a major gameplay mechanic in ''IV'' for navigating the mansion and slaughterhouse.
* FullFrontalAssault
** In ''III'', each character can strip nude, while still being able to fight and attack the killers.
** In ''IV'', the family members in the bathroom, the statue hall, and one of the ones in the showers, are nude and still try to kill you as normal. In addition, Piggy is completely nude aside from the pig head.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Originally, only the player characters could be damaged by corpses and body parts. The enemies in ''IV'' can be damaged this way, as well. This allows the player to fight and kill enemies with their own severed leg, or the corpses of their companions.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Can happen in several variations. The simplest version is knocking down an enemy, and using the weapon they drop against them.
** The explosives in ''IV'' have a radius roughly the size of most of the rooms, making it difficult to kill anyone with them without also blowing the user up.
** On a deeper level, player characters killed in ''III'' can return as zombies if their bodies end up in the lake, and will attack anyone else, including the person who killed them.
