Slasher Flick "A Long Way Down" Chapter 1: First to the Summit

High above the treeline, at the base of the infamous K8, a strange mix of competitors gathers for a brutal three-day race to the peak and a $75,000 prize. There’s the relentlessly driven athlete, the smug social-media daredevil, the zen mountain mystic, the overly relaxed hiker with her loyal St. Bernard, the beleaguered medic hauling far too much gear, and a stern coach who expects nothing less than perfection. Cameras roll, interviews are given, and even the motivational songs of Brian Brulee drift through the cold air as everyone jostles for an edge. But K8 is not just another mountain, and the contest is not as simple as “fastest to the top.” Strange signs appear in the woods, odd traps lie hidden just off the trail, and something—or someone—seems to have prepared the climb for more than just sport. As the first day’s ascent begins, rivalries flare, egos collide, and the line between “extreme competition” and “deadly setup” starts to blur. In this opening episode, Twin Cities by Night sets the stage for a slasher-style survival race where the only thing more dangerous than the mountain might be the people climbing it. About the Chronicle Slasher Flick – “A Long Way Down” is a high-altitude horror story using the Slasher Flick rules, where players juggle multiple characters in a fast, cinematic, and darkly humorous bloodbath. The premise is simple: reach the summit of K8 in under three days and claim the prize. The reality is anything but. Across the chronicle, expect deadly “accidents,” suspicious sabotage, and over-the-top set pieces that feel equal parts reality show, wilderness disaster movie, and classic slasher flick. As the contestants push higher into thin air and bad decisions, the question shifts from who will win to who will make it back down alive—if anyone does at all. 🗨️ Hop into our Discord!
