Scare: Fatal Picture Reviews

Best game from the dev so far. I only wish text was a bit faster, or I could skip to the next line with a key press.

It started with a wonderful introduction to the protagonist, followed by an unforgettable storyline that kept me gripping my chair for more. The rich environment and realistic audio made this an intense experience that any brave person wouldn't dare venture through. I really felt it when they would "urrrrrgh" in my ear, and the shivers down my spine will need a while to relax again. Take this game at your own risk, it is life changing.

This game was well designed well except for maybe the cut scenes and no voice actors but it clearly takes inspiration from Fatal Frame and you have to use your camera to make the ghosts go away by rapid firing the cameras flash at them lol. There were a few good jumpscares but the enemies here just walk at you and I went through the game pretty easily til near the end when two ghosts are thrown at you and you have to go around in circles in a tight area to beat them. The games ending was very sudden though so I guess the dev is going to make another game? but I enjoyed it and for the $1.79 I got it for I guess it was alright https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly-X3nI6YzA

For a $1.99 game, this one is a LOT of fun. It's not very long. It will take you 30-45 minutes tops to finish, but it's quirky. The thing I like the most about this game is the atmosphere. The developer creates a spooky environment with SOUND. The sound effects, music, and few jump scares are well timed, and well placed. The rest of it is a bit janky, but Indie horror is janky but also FUN. You play as a girl looking for her sister that's been kidnapped/spirited away by ghosts/evil entities. You're armed with a destructive camera and set out through (albeit linear) mazes to find her. The dev clearly had inspiration from Fatal Frame titles, and anyone that's a Fatal Frame fan will get a silly kick out of this game. The story is a bit convoluted and a bit hard to follow, but you're here for just mindless fun, right? I know I have more CONS below than PROS, but honestly that doesn't make this game bad, just super quirky. PROS: * Atmospherically spooky * Great SFX * Well timed jump scares * Camera function easy to use * Easy M&K controls * Decent story (though a bit fragmented) * Linear so can't get lost CONS: * Dialogue autoscrolls and you can't stop/control how fast it goes * Not controller capable (it works...but not well. Go with M&K) * Secret items to shoot with your camera are not lit up in the viewfinder, you just have to guess (items that look out of place) * You can't tell that the game autosaves as there is no icon indication * No manual saves * Only one save slot * No map (not that you really need one) * Rapid fire on the camera seems to work better than charging it up --> monsters run as fast as you do * You'll need to learn how to run/kite enemies backwards while running and avoiding obstacles on the ground https://wwww.seravium.com https://twitch.tv/seravium
