King's Quest and Quest for Glory, as well as most modern 'hidden object' games have reinvigorated this genre of gaming for those of us who want more substance and story, using our powers of creativity, intelligence, and observation over quick reflexes and hand eye coodination. The graphics are nice, great puzzles, nice instructions/training for players new to this genre of gaming. I loved the first chapter and can't wait for more. If you want a really good Adventure series try one of the best: The Longest Journey, or it's sequel TLJ: Dreamfall, or it's continuation Dreamfall: Chapters. All three are masterpieces of the genre and really will give your brain a workout.… Expand

The puzzles are good, intuitive and satisfying with adjustable levels of difficulty. The music is okay, and there's a fair amount of recorded spoken dialog that is also pretty good. I didn't think I'd like the game at first, but I have to admit, I was sucked in by the challenging and rewarding puzzles and spent 4 hours in the game and am still only half way through.

While they have never been my cup of tea, the premise of this title intrigued me. You’re tasked with finding your missing sister after receiving a strange letter from her requesting you meet her at a place from their childhood. Despite the building appearing vacant, there are signs that someone was there recently, which later proves that you are not alone in the house.
   
   The gameplay is fairly basic, as you would expect from this type of game. You’ll explore the decrepit locations solving minor puzzles and collecting items to progress. Unlike most of my attempts at this genre, I found the navigation as well as the interactions with the world to be intuitive. While similar titles make moving from scene to scene a chore, you’re given multiple options for traversal here. My personal favorite is the option to quick travel throughout the area using a map, which highlights areas that still have actions or items remaining. In addition to this option, you may use the D pad or use the icon to highlight the direction you wish to move to, much like selecting an item to interact with. I found this option to be the least appealing, as it will tend to open your inventory or cause you to move in the wrong direction. With the exception of this, the game controls extremely well, with the cursor moving as quickly as you would like throughout the scenes.
   
   While the puzzles are frequent, few of them require much brain power, as most are common sense based. The only portions I struggled with were the puzzles that required multiple steps to complete, meaning you need to be thorough in exploration. If you do get stuck, there is a hint system which is completely optional. In addition to the hints, you can turn on the option to have items that can be picked up or interacted with to be highlighted. This limits any frustration, which was a big draw back for me in previous attempts at the genre.
   
   The visuals offered are on par with similar games in this style coupled with some full motion cut scenes that would have been awe inspiring if added to the original Resident Evil or Silent Hill entries. While they are not going to win any awards, they do keep the player immersed in the game world; its biggest draw will be the story which clocks in around 3 hours, depending in how quickly you can solve the puzzles. The story kept me engaged throughout my time with it, which is the first entry in a planned trilogy.
   
   For fans of point-and-click or horror games, True Fear: Forsaken Souls is a pretty enjoyable experience, albeit a bit unpolished at times.… Expand

I had puzzles lock up, forcing me to restart. I had one puzzle do it right at the very end of the game, and I ended up losing 7 trophies that are tied to being able to finish the game. A cursory glance at their Steam page and Big Fish Games page shows horrible bugs-and it's obvious these carried through into the PS4 version. Very disappointing.… Expand
