True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3

I've waited years for this game to arrive and I had to wait even longer for this to arrive here on GOG. After the mind blowing and confusing cliffhanger from part 2 I could not wait to play the conclusion ... I am aware that the production of this game was troubled and development several times almost abandoned - so I was not sure what I would get in the end - but my curiosity could not be tamed so I purchased the game just seconds after its release. Now, after 20 hours playtime (I played the game on expert level, so no hints and no skipping) I can only say that it was well worth the wait. Once again the game is a bit different than part 1 and part 2 and once again the story gets a new layer. The atmosphere and graphics are as nice as they were before and the puzzles were interesting and challenging ... but never frustrating. They picked up quite a few things from the other games making this feel like the conclusion it is supposed to be. These three games are one big story and the story you will get in the end might not be the story you would expect.... For spoiler reasons I won't go too much into detail but if you played part 1 and part 2 you are already aware how great Dimmy is in telling a story in a way you won't be able to tell what's coming next. There were a few WTF moments I had when I played the game and when the final explanation was given I did not feel disappinted at all - only surprised. Yes, what they did was working but I was sure that not everybody would see it this way. So be aware that it could be (50/50 chance) that you won't like the ending. However the game is still great - even if you dislike the ending. So many ideas, such a great atmosphere, soundtrack, puzzles, cinematics ... Imo the game is worth more than the 10 bucks that are demanded here. So if you like these games chances are good that you will love this final part as well.

... only if you love the gameplay which consists of finding objects to solve puzzles. I like such gamplay but the entire trilogy took me 30+ hours to complete. Which for me was way too long. You do get value for money though :-)

The writing is a bit goofy/cheesy but otherwise it's a solid point and click adventuer game. It's not really scary but it has this creepy and mystery enveloped vibe to it all throughout. If you're into the genre, I recommend this series.

Nice puzzle game, i'm glad to finally get a resolution,

This is the final part of the Forsaken Souls trilogy. The theme and mechanics are identical to the first two games, so I won't spend time talking about them. Again, the puzzles don't disappoint: their variety and breadth of challenge continued to impress. As far as the story is concerned, it takes a sharp turn midway through the game and enters a realm I truly wasn't expecting. It wasn't quite the finale I was hoping for, but that's personal taste, so I can't fault the developers. While the game is certainly fantastic, I couldn't quite give it five stars. The reason for this is the retreading you do in the final act of the game. Instead of concluding with a new area, you return to a previously explored one. There were some minor environmental tweaks and a few new puzzles, but it wasn't enough to make the final setting, which should have been the apex of your journey, stand out. Furthermore, the protagonist has already solved the overarching mystery at this point, so there are no more surprises waiting for you at completion. Nevertheless, I still highly recommend the series to puzzle fans and anyone who enjoys a good horror/mystery story.
