I am super excited for the next update and can’t wait to play it and share the story with all of you!
Gameplay
Fear The Unknown offers a first-person narrative experience, blending walking simulation with elements of exploration, driving, drinking, and interactive conversations.
What caught my eye once I started playing the game was the atmosphere. The whole vibe that the graphics offer and the music serve a moody, heavy atmosphere, which for this game was TOP!
In this episode, you will play as Dave who was sent to a remote location to clean a house. Weird things start to occur there with the most extreme being an encounter with aliens! Now, try to imagine this story with the heavy atmosphere and the music on top, it is superb!
As for the game controls, this is super basic and that is also a plus since you can focus 100% on the story without having to worry about complex game control.
