Plot

According to the June 2008 issue of EGM, the plot is as follows:

The story is a retelling of the original's, but with some new twists. Dr West, a character mentioned in the original game, is now the teacher of Rick and Jennifer. West becomes the antagonist and sends monsters (Known as the "Corrupted") to kidnap Jennifer and fatally wound Rick, who finds the Mask and dons it. Whereas Rick became a Jason-inspired creature in the original title, this time he becomes something of a hulking version of himself. The plot also now involves portals that spawn the creatures appearing across the world (these elements being pulled from the 2nd and 3rd game).
