Phobia

I was on the fence on whether to get this game or not. I quite like a good indie game, having said that; most of my library consists of indie games. I understand the limitations of indie game devlopment as well as that quite often devlopers overcharge for games such as this. This looked alright from the description etc, jumpscares and things make for alright indie horror games even where budget is low so I was quite hopefull going into it. Gameplay; So it plays as your box standard arcade horror game, you can walk, run, use your flashlight etc. At the beginning you have to avoid the monster, then later on you get a gun and the monsters have to avoid you, pretty simple. My recommendation is based on the price being reduced at £2.87, I don't think, in my opinion, that it is worth almost £5 (But then I guess price is subjective). I'd recommend based on that it is a working game, the inital few levels looks like the devloper put some thought into the design and built up quite an atmo...

This game I played for long time. I enjoy at first, very bad, but funny good way. Soon, I get to room. Very big, hurt my computer so frames so bad. While frames bad I need secret key passage to find 3 of them. I look all over room with bad frames but keys hard to find with shaking. I find 2, BIG SUCCESS. But other key, where to find do I? I do not find. I give up. Cry tears, many. Mom asks why I cry, I say this game. We both cry. I miss dad.

If you're looking for the game that TBFP played, this isn't it. You're looking for Phobia 1.5 Don't make the same mistake I did.

A crime against humanity!!!

Good Indie Horror Game

2/10 looks cooler than it is

(This review contains Spoilers if that is what you want to call them, also it NEEDS a Warning for Flashing Lights/Epilepsy Warning - please implement this) Phobia makes me scared of games. Not in that sense of being spooked, but by not playing another game again. The game features, someone, that needs to "Penetrate a house". There's some massive text wall before that but let's ignore that. You then traverse through some extremely dark woods until you find a house and next minute, you are warped from one location to the next. And thus, Phobia becomes a nightmare. You go from these locations and you have a couple of things to do. First, you will probably get some monsters start charging at you (or run into a wall, depends really) and you can shoot them with the ONLY gun you get in the game which doesn't work at close range. You can insta-kill some monsters and some don't take any damage and the game doesn't explain that. If you get cornered by a monster, they just kill you and you are...
