TLDR; As the game stands, this game is not worth getting into it as a newer player who hasn't tried the game out prior. You will be thrown into hard lobbies of experienced players who will show no mercy. If you're the type to keep a cool head, definitely check the game out!

So here is the problem from a day 1 Discord launch vet of Last Year on this current version.

The game you're playing is from the update of Last Year: The Nightmare. This version of the game condenses the maps to be linear and less free to roam around and split the killer's attention. Why is this important? Because newer players are stuck in tiny rooms to try and learn while Killers can trap up the entire hallway leading to kills insanely quickly.

The discord Last Year had big open maps which let students and killers be creative. You could split the attention of the killer by doing the objective or running off and getting some scrap. Letting the students not only build effectively but learn the game at a nice pace. The killers definitely need a little bit more to them in the discord version so they aren't super kiteable. BUT MAN does Last Year: The Nightmare OVER DO IT. I'm talking the slasher guy has this matrix dash that let's him EASILY catch up to any student he's chasing and destroy you. This guy normally have more stamina than the students. If anything give him a short speed buff, but an instant gap closer.

If you are someone looking to test the waters of the game, wait and see what this new team does with Last Year. It's a great game but I believe they brought back the wrong version of the game. The old developers made mistakes of getting to this point with the game and it immediately died. It will unfortunately happen again unless some quick changes happen.
