You are walking down a street you don't recognize, the fog slowing your pace to a crawl as darkness blinds you. You pause and look up to see a house; candles flicker in every window, like a beacon. Climbing the few steps to the front door, you realize many years have passed since it was last opened – it has been sealed with rust and purpose. Inexplicably, just as you know the candles are for you, you know someone waits inside. Someone who has remained in that house since before the iron began to rust. They have been patient. Waiting for over two decades. Waiting for you.
True Fear: Forsaken Souls takes the best of the psychological thriller, blending in fun and intuitive gameplay mechanics. The cinematics, puzzles and hidden object phases have been carefully developed and are steeped in a unique and oppressive atmosphere. Episode 1, the first in a trilogy, will long be remembered.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Like a hidden object/point and click. Good atmosphere, moody music, engaging story. Puzzles are a little repetitive and easy, but I was only playing on standard difficulty. Some puzzles are a bit vague, and the hint system isn't always helpful.
... that a hidden object game can be more than just pixel hunting?
The amount of interaction and "need duct tape to fix the cable" tasks beats many modern adventure games.
Sadly there are also many hidden things just for the sake of being hidden, on a level of "the stone figure in the forsaken graveyard holds the battery for the TV control" (no spoiler, I just made it up as an example).
Sadly also most items are consumed after first use, the bonus chapter is better, it lets you reuse quite some items a few times.
The biggest downer however is that the story ends right when it's getting interesting. Many questions are unanswered, if you want the whole picture, you also have to buy part 2. That's a big no-no. If not for that, it would have given the game 4 stars.
If you like games like 7th Guest and 11th Hour, then I think you will like this one. It kept me entertained through about 4 hours of play time. So definitely worth the $1.99 on sale price tag. I thought the storyline got pretty ludicrous towards the end, but it was kind of creepy at times and there were some good puzzles throughout.
It's refreshing coming from more action-based horror games. It's got a simple and effective gameplay mechanic coupled with an intriguing plot that leaves you hungry to find out more. There are no scares, the horror bit is more psychological. I was skeptical about point&click at first, but I'm looking forward to playing part two. My only complaint is that the game falls on the short side. Great art too.
Despite 99% of spooks failing to get a reaction out of me, the game is still quite fun. I enjoy the challenge the puzzles bring to the table and the hidden object scenes do make a bit more sense than the usual trope of finding a list of things that have no business being there in the first place, plus the story has me hooked for now, and it's fun to collect all the notes and figurines.
