Deborah Kim Survival Guide (Updated)
Deborah Kim – The Bookish Girl
About Deborah
Rivaling Eric Lachappa for class valedictorian, Deborah is viewed as a bookworm. When Deborah isn’t studying, she is often found reading books and looking up the latest news on current events. Thanks to her academic pursuits and hobbies Deborah is quite knowledgeable when it comes to repairing vehicles and generators around the camp. While she may not be the most athletic among her fellow counselors, Deborah relies on her brains and light feet to survive. If you prefer a stealthier approach and hope to avoid Jason, then Deborah is the character for you.

How to Stay Alive
Deborah is more of a lone wolf character and is good at avoiding Jason. With a perfect intelligence score of 10, she’s one of the best counselors for repairing vehicles and generators and is difficult to locate unless Jason uses Sense. Even though running isn’t one of Deborah’s strengths, her light feet will reduce her chances of being discovered by Jason and will allow her to run short distances.
Fighting Jason one on one is not one of Deborah’s strengths. Due to her low strength stat, Deborah is not very likely to stun Jason and will do minimal damage. Your best offense against Jason is a good defense by staying out of sight and utilizing range weapons such as flare guns and shotguns.
Running is a viable option as Deborah since Jason is more likely to come across other counselors who are running and making a lot of noise. If Jason is nearby however, it is easy to sneak by Jason by using a crouch walk.
Be warned though, if Jason catches you’re unlikely to break free. To help your team try to stay near objective points and repair the vehicles as parts are brought over. If you can repair the vehicles quickly and keep Jason out of arm’s length from you, you’ll have a good chance of survival.
Extra Tips:
- At the beginning of a match, go for a flare gun as your first weapon. Let Kenny, Adam, Buggzy, and more melee based characters use the bats and heavier weapons.
- Use crouch walk around the vehicles and stay nearby so you can repair them.
- Communicate with other counselors and let them know when you’ve installed an item in an objective point.
- If you’re in a cabin by the two-person vehicle and you happen to find gas, just put it in. Don’t travel all the way across a map just to put the gas or objective item in the 4-person vehicle.
- If you have keys, keep them on you and let everyone know so they can protect you. Or… drop the keys off at the nearest vehicle even if it hasn’t been fully repaired yet. This way you increase the chances of someone picking you up on their way out if you’re cornered in a cabin.
- Whatever you do, do not try to take on Jason alone with a melee weapon.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Has a very easy time fixing vehicles and generators. | Poor luck, so is likely to have her weapons break and get injured climbing over broken windows. |
| Her high stealth skill allows her to sneak across camp and less likely to be sensed by Jason | Not very fast compared to other counselors. Short distance runner. |
| Can tolerate the horrors of Camp Blood, but only for a while. | Not strong. Will do the least amount of physical melee damage to Jason. |
Stalking in Friday The 13th: The Game
Stalking as Jason in Friday The 13th: The Game – Tips and Tricks
I’ll be honest, whenever I play as Jason I almost always never use Stalk. It’s not like I don’t know it’s there, but rather I never really saw the point of using it. There’s one or two counselors left, they know I’m around so why bother? This attitude of mine was a HUGE MISTAKE! Thanks to my friend Rainskull who plays a fantastic Jason, I saw the errors of my way and now realize that Stalk is critical when playing as Jason. It sets up for memorable moments and can really change the atmosphere and flow of the game.
Upcoming One-Year Anniversary & Experimental Editing
1-Year Anniversary for Mad-Eye Yokai
Time just flew by and this week I’ll be celebrating the 1-year anniversary for the YouTube channel. The anniversary is going to be on Sunday July 16th and will feature an update and some gameplay of one of my favorite games before I got into Friday The 13th. Hope you all enjoy it!
Experimental Editing
Lately I’ve been really exploring with experimental editing and have really enjoyed the process. My latest video for Friday The 13th involved a merging of the 1940’s films with modern day editing tips. It was my first real attempt at combining information with entertainment and I’m pleased with the outcome. This is a taste of where I hope the channel goes into the future and as I start to develop a brand. (Cont. below)
What’s Next? My Reflection 4 Months Since Starting My Adventure
4-Month Update
Hello fellow gamers and readers!
Have you ever wanted something, but didn’t really know how to say it? That was me until now. The past few months have been interesting in that I’ve had to ask myself: “Where am I trying to get to?” I quit my job in Japan and returned to the United States to look after family while attempting to break into the video game industry, but it wasn’t until now that I realized how vague that goal was. What exactly is breaking into the video game industry?
At first I thought it was just YouTube. I began my YouTube career while in Tokyo, Japan as a creative outlet to make up for my trapped feelings at work. I also believed it would be a great entry point into the industry, and I’m pleased to say my hunch was correct. Thanks to my identity as a YouTuber and my passion for horror, I had the honor of joining a community surrounding Friday The 13th. Within that community I met YouTubers, livestreamers, voice actors, entertainers, news outlets, and developers each with a particular role to play in the development of Friday The 13th The Game. I had no idea how important communities were and how much of an ecosystem they have. Within this ecosystem there are rules, expectations, customs, and an entirely different world from my days studying to be a translator at graduate school.
I’ve only been a part of this gaming scene for four months, and while I’m still learning, I love almost every moment of it. I have seen how a game is developed and the challenges a company faces after launching, I’ve experienced fielding questions from disgruntled customers, I’ve witnessed the marketing strategies between developers and content creators, I’ve seen dozens of strangers gather in a voice chat room to listen to fan fiction surrounding a game, I’ve seen a fan of the game get hired by a game company due to his commitment and love for their upcoming game / product. I have had the privilege to interview a video game executive producer face-to-face and then play with him in the game his company made while being livestreamed to 100 people online.
After experiencing all of this for the past four months I can say that I broke into the industry and have become a part of it. But I had to keep asking myself, “what is my role in this industry and where do I want to go?” “If I walk down a certain path, am I going to be satisfied with it 20 or 30 years from now?” For the past couple of months this has been on my mind. While I kind of knew what I wanted, I couldn’t really put it in words. Three months ago, I used to solely focus on YouTube and I measured my success based on the number of subscribers I had, but now I realize my perspective was off. I was wrong for several reasons because it’s not subscriber numbers that determine success of a video, it’s watch time. Second, and most importantly viewing your subscribers as a number, is kind of rude. Each subscriber is a person with a name, a life and a dream. Long story short, YouTube subscriber numbers is not how I measure success anymore.
What’s Next?
As of now, I hope to take Mad-Eye Games to the point where I can provide marketing and consulting services and eventually make games people love and enjoy. If I could make this a success within 3-5 years, that would be amazing. There are several obstacles in the way. These range from learning game development software, to understanding marketing, mastering SEO, to building a client base, a good reputation, and knowing people in the industry. While I am still learning, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It just means I need to work my butt off, and that’s fine.
I’ve got some goals lined up for myself and hopefully by writing them, it will give me an accountability partner and a track for which I can proceed towards my goals as quickly as possible.
Goals in order to approach my dream of starting a company and making it a success:
- Learn game development software by taking lessons and then expanding upon those lessons by making free games for my subscribers and followers.
- Start a weekly or biweekly podcast
- Improve my video editing and content creation skills by making videos no one else has made on YouTube and separating it through high quality editing and putting a new spin on games old and new.
- Make a community
- Start livestreaming 1x a week and host events with the community
- Learn 3D modeling and coding well enough that I can start selling assets in online stores.
- Get my first client in the Boston area
- Start building my client list and earning a steady income
- Hire Staff
- Mission Accomplished -> Now it’s time to work work work
Wish me luck!
Vanessa Jones Survival Guide
Vanessa Jones – The Athletic Girl
About Vanessa
Vanessa is an All-American track and field star at her school. Leading her team to Nationals since freshman year, Vanessa developed a reputation for being the best sprinter in New Jersey. When it comes to competition, Vanessa is always focused on winning and never letting her team down. Vanessa’s speed allows her to control the pace of the game by using her mobility to find parts for vehicles and lead Jason away from injured counselors. If you prefer speed and actively outpacing and juking Jason, Vanessa is a good choice for you.
Click here to see how Vanessa compares to other counselors.
How To Stay Alive
Vanessa’s speed and stamina enable her to search locations quickly and rush to assist her teammates. You can use her offensively to search for parts and harass Jason. Or you could use her defensively to save counselors and kite Jason away. While stealth and sneaking around may not be Vanessa’s style, it is important to not blow the cover of stealthier characters when using her. She is ideal for a solo player who is willing to communicate with teammates and on occasion stun Jason and lead him away.
When playing as Vanessa, you don’t have to sprint to a cabin in the opening parts of a match. Simply jog to the nearest cabin or even search outside for weapons, or items. Even if Jason were to morph to your location, you can easily outrun him as long as you don’t waste your stamina by sprinting aimlessly across the map. Of course if Jason does teleport next to you, RUN!
Your main goal if you want to escape with your life is to protect counselors who can repair vehicles or the fuse box for the phone. If all of the counselors are dead, you will have a difficult time trying to escape. Your low repair skill causes you to take more time and increases the probability of mistakes.
Playing as Vanessa takes initiative and constant communication on your part. If you want to protect the lives of your fellow counselors, focus on searching areas quickly. If you find an objective item, bring it to the objective point. Do not install it yourself! Instead, drop it right next to the objective point and inform your teammates of the item’s location. This way another character with good repair skill can install the vehicle part while you distract Jason.
Your other objective is to keep Jason’s attention on you and lead him away from the slower counselors. If you can keep Jason on you while you search for parts, you’ll bide time for your teammates to get things fixed and thus increase your overall odds of escape. Oh and did I mention you get a real workout?
Extra Tips
- Contact your teammates when you’ve found other items such as med spray, extra pocket knives (keep one for yourself), firecrackers, or the location of the fuse box.
- The walkie talkie is your greatest asset in this game. Keep providing updates when you can and know where Jason is and whether or not he is attacking a counselor.
- Make sure you search an entire cabin before leaving it. If you say you’ve searched an entire cabin and did not find any parts, you’d better be accurate. It could make or break a game.
- If you hear a counselor getting in trouble, run over and hit Jason to provide them time to hide or escape.
- If you’ve brought all of the items to the objective points, focus on grabbing Jason’s attention and have him chase you.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| The fastest counselor at Camp Blood. Great for kiting Jason and retrieving supplies. | Not stealthy. Most likely to get sensed by Jason. |
| Long distance runner. | Will have difficulty repairing any vehicle or generator. |
| Pretty lucky (6) so she's less likely to have her weapon break and less likely to take damage crawling through broken windows. | More likely to freak out after witnessing too much of the horrors of Camp Blood and Jason. |
