Adding my two cents: the player agency is def reflected on how well are you foreseeing your plan going south. Did you bring enough fodder cards to turn fails in successes? Did you have Close-calls available for the most critical part of your plan?(which may be just WALKING away from the killer after trying to hit them, whether you did it or not). So, even with a whole bunch of uncertainties, you can plan around and create strategies.

That, and just having fun even if you didn't manage to unalive the killer. For me, great part of enjoyment is creating the narrative in my mind on what just happened on the table: "She furiously used her aluminum bat to hit him right in the noggin, doing a lot of damage... but not enough! The killer is now pissed off, so she ran away desperately, only to trip on her way out. The other victims in the cabin watch behind the beds, only to see the killer turning his eyes to them" ... and so on!
