Oct 29, 2024All told, The Fear Business is a pretty solid homage to the horror games of yesteryear. It’s not particularly original, but the PS1 aesthetic, sharp design of Solomon Manor, and compelling puzzles work well enough to make up for its annoyances. It’s not a long game (your first playthrough will probably take between 3 and 5 hours), but there are several difficulties to complete and secrets to find, and it seems ripe for speedrunning. I just wish it controlled better and dealing with Goat Face wasn’t so bloody annoying. But if you’re looking for a horror game to spend an evening with, you could do a lot worse. Just… you know, try to be smarter than Sarah the next time you’re investigating mysterious disappearances, yeah? If a dude had offered me a ride to a cult-infested mansion, I would have just gone home.

Nov 8, 2024Slasher inspired with a gratifying nostalgia for tank controls, inventory management and limited saves, The Fear Business is a short and bloody retro horror game. The PS1 era visuals are a treat, and though the save system and voice acting has their befuddling moments, this is a crazed killer that has some legs to keep up the hunt, before inevitably being overcome by those meddling kids... sorry, reporters.
