FROM FEAR

For the longest time, the moment of playing a horror game was made much better by going in solitary. But when you think about it, even watching a horror movie by yourself in the dark has a much stronger effect. But the moment you watch a horror movie in the company it is much more fun, and you get to see everyone jump out of their seats and have fun being scared for a while. And the same thing is true for horror games, they are scarier alone, but more fun in company. FROM FEAR is a game that looks to explore and go deeper into this entire idea of multiplayer horror games. Developed by Gearfall Studios developed a game that could be a hidden gem in this genre, so let’s see what this game is all about!

About the game

In this game it's all about survival, it's a post-apocalyptic world, and you'll need to scavenge if you desire to survive. But beware, for you shouldn't believe even your eyes, in the shadows, the real terrors hide. Not just as in the fear of not surviving, but the real monsters are hiding, and they will be coming for you.

Even though you can choose your fear and have the game adapted to suit your fear in this game, It will go even beyond yourself and infect the other players too. The events, monsters, and experiences are different depending on the fear you go for.

The monster has a very unpredictable and well-developed AI, you won’t be able to know what its next move will be, but you can’t just keep hiding forever. Remember that it is at its core a survival game, and this means you're trying to also gather resources. Use the environment not only to collect the things you need but also to hide from and even lure the monster that’s haunting you.

Work together with your friends to survive this experience, and when things go south choose what you will do. Will you save them, or will you save yourself and abandon them behind?

Multiplayer horror

Multiplayer horror games have been around for quite a while. One of the most popular ones is Left 4 Dead 2. In that game, you can play as a single player or cooperate with a team to go in a group of 4 through different levels fighting the zombies and trying to survive.

But what makes FROM FEAR different from the other horror games that simply imitate Left 4 Dead, is that here you add the well-developed survival elements. Gathering the right resources is key for your survival nearly as much as it is to prevent getting slayed by the monsters.

Pros:

• Fun gameplay
• Really spooky
• Nice visuals

Cons:

• It’s short
• It’s lacking content
