Fear the Dark Unknown Reviews

Unfortunately it is full of bugs, the character sometimes disappears from the scene while being attacked by some zombie and it is impossible to defend yourself or recover the scene. Every now and then the game crashes with the "FATAL ERROR" window (tested both on desktop and laptop). What a pity, because the game seems well made.

I guess you could call this a survival horror experience, but it's a boring one. Just a very boring puzzle box with some uninteresting enemies. The amount of content and a functional game is good work for such a small developer, but not a fun game, sadly.

Okay i just got this game on sale yesterday for $1.49 and was excited to try this game out as i am a big fan of The Zombie/Survival/Horror genre. Resident Evil is still my #1 favorite Of this genre. Here is a list of my likes about this game. 1) I like the visuals. The graphics are nice and done very well. 2) The sounds and the musical score are done very well also. The musical score is very creepy and matches the games environment very well. 3) The game runs well on the Steam Deck and should be listed as Steam Deck Verified. Now here are my dislikes about the game so far. 1) There's no camera control. The game just has that one fixed position and only changes as your character changes direction. This is a good game so far but would be a whole lot better with camera control. 2) So far the few puzzles i've solved makes no sense and i only figured them out by randomly messing around with items found. Here's one example. After finding a bucket, your immediate thought is to use that bucket to scoop up water from the tub with the broken water pump so you can put out the fire in the fireplace but you cannot. Later on i discovered simply by messing around with the bucket by the fireplace that the bucket is already full of sand upon finding it. It would be wise to list things as they are. so instead of just telling players that they found a bucket, it would be better to say that they found a bucket of sand. This would let players know exactly what they have found and eliminate a lot of the frustration trying to figure out why things cannot be used as they normally be used. I will not post any more about puzzles here as i do not want to spoil the game for other players. I will give this game a like as i am enjoying the game so far but those are a few of my peeves about the game thus far.
