What this companion helps with

After an update

Understand what each patch changes

Each verified patch gets its own dated page with platform scope and official source, and older versions are never folded into the newest one.

Diagnose a problem you are hitting

Known issues are tracked by platform and patch, with official status and community reports labeled separately, so you can check your setup before troubleshooting.

Your checklists

Pick up challenges and collectibles where you stopped

Challenge and collectible checklists save on this device, and every listed item passed field-level verification for its stated patch — unconfirmed details say Not yet verified.

Loadouts from what you own

Plan a Civilian loadout from what you own

The Civilian advisor works only from the characters and perks you mark as owned and their verified official names — compatibility rules are not yet verified, so partial and no-match results are labeled honestly.

Plan a Michael loadout from what you own

The Michael advisor works from the abilities you own and their verified official names — slot rules are not yet verified, unknown numbers are never treated as zero, and no result is a meta claim.

Standards // Rigor

How information on this site is verified

Not all information carries the same weight. A Verified fact comes from a dated first-party source, scoped to a platform and patch. Community-reported entries are player leads, never presented as official. An Editorial recommendation is our suggestion, separated from facts. User-entered content is state you saved on this device. Unknown fields say Not yet verified, outdated ones are marked Stale, and conflicting sources are shown side by side — nothing is silently filled in.

Common questions

What is Haddonfield Companion?

A patch-aware companion for Halloween: The Game (2026). It routes you to verified patch history, platform-scoped known issues, device-saved checklists, and loadout planning based on items you own — with evidence labels on patch-sensitive claims.

Which platforms does the companion cover?

The companion covers the launch platforms of Halloween: The Game: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Coverage is per fact — an issue, patch, or item can carry a narrower platform scope or a Not yet verified mark.

How do patch and platform labels work?

Every patch-sensitive claim is scoped to the version and platform its evidence covers. When a newer patch ships, affected fields are marked Stale — never silently updated. Older patches keep their own pages, so historical information stays readable in its original context.

Where is my progress and owned-item information stored?

On this device. Your platform, patch, owned items, checklist progress, saved builds, and notes are stored locally — no account is required and nothing syncs from a game or platform account. You can export, import, or delete your data at any time.

How are known-issue statuses sourced?

Official status comes from dated first-party sources; player reports are labeled Community-reported and never presented as official. Each entry shows its platform, patch, evidence state, and last-checked date. An unlisted issue is not the same as a nonexistent one.

What happens when information is unknown, stale, or conflicting?

Unknown stays Not yet verified — never rendered as zero, none, or unaffected. Stale content keeps its original scope and date until re-verified, and conflicting credible sources are shown side by side without declaring a winner. Corrections create new revisions, not silent overwrites.

Haddonfield Companion stays honest about what it does not know. If something looks wrong, the correction channel is open.
