So, this is a Dead By Daylight-like right? Personally I never really got the appeal of that but I can appreciate what they've done with their game and the amount of success its garnered.
If this is similar but less, I dunno, chaotic? obtrusive? and more streamlined then I'd be interested in giving it a go.
EDIT: Oh IGN has a review up.

Anyone think the recommended specs are a bit steep for what the game is doing visually and mechanically?

Digital copies activated last night. The servers were up prior to that before the discord complained and they shut it down.

Played one game, tried my best to be stealthy, someone got killed far away from me, tried opening a door and escape, but as soon as I did leathetface was on me and then the others showed up and I died; it felt like they were camping the exits or something?
Also you really have no idea of where to go as a victim, which in a say is kinda cool I guess, since it mimics the source material? But it's also supposed to be a videogame and you don't want your players to feel completely lost.
The map layout should have some more things that feel more obvious for players; as it is now, the matchups feel completely lopsided, until victim players memorise the map.
Evil dead completely stomps this imo (and any other in the genre tbh), but I'm still a bit intrigued, there might be something good here.

Already a 5 minute wait time to find a match.

There are loads of tutorial videos in the main menu. I think most people will get the hang of it pretty quickly, the maps just take getting used to. People caught on super quick in the tech tests.
I only had time for one match this morning, played as Sissy and got three kills

So the game has been available to play the last 4 hours or so…DownloadEd it and started playing (or trying to).
Got into my first game in 3 minutes. Was the only survivor to escape. Then spent over 15 minutes waiting in the Quick match search. Hopefully, the match times improve as the day goes on.
Haven’t even been able to try the family yet. Got lost in the basement more often than expected. So far….Good Atmosphere, Sound, decent controls.
Bad match finding times (10+ minutes is a bit long). Can usually jump into FT13th within 2-3 minutes even now.
Key Phrase of the day would be: “WTF am I supposed to go?!”

Playing as the killer has always been boring in these kinds of games to me, but I absolutely love playing the victim - if only to see how long I can personally survive.
I haven't played Texas Chainsaw yet, but it's from the same developers of Friday the 13th and while that was at a very surface level the same genre, I felt like the approached it from opposite directions. While I haven't played DBD in years, I tried it around the same time I was really into Friday the 13th and I felt like DBD was closer to a "Final Destination - No Items" approach in the sense that it (and it's community) were a lot more serious, while Friday (and it's community) was more than happy with just having fun. Friday was chaotic, but not in a way that stressed me out and more in a way that just really embraced the franchise itself.

Yeah, Dbd is more of an arena sport with a horror theme while stuff like Friday, F13, Ghostbusters, Evil Dead, dbz, or predator, are more about living out your very own experience. Doesn't mean people don't turn it into a sweat fest but the experiences are far more thematic and casual for the most part. Some games manage it better than others though.

While I'm not the biggest fan of the series (the only ones I really enjoy are 1 and New Nightmare), I think Nightmare on Elm Street could be an excellent choice. The template is already there with Dream Warriors.

Lots of viewers on Twitch streams right now. I'll wait to try it later tonight when my wife is asleep 
Edit: 166k. Probably due to launch title curiosity and will be interesting to see if it has longevity.
