About Phobia

✦ AI summary

Phobia puts you in the shoes of a detective investigating a missing person case that spirals into a nightmarish descent through a secret laboratory run by a satanic cult performing horrific experiments. Navigate the hellish mansion by fighting or hiding from grotesque monsters, uncovering dark secrets through exploration and puzzle-solving, while confronting both external terrors and the psychological demons of the protagonist's fractured mind.

A private detective, who was tasked with finding a missing relative of a wealthy family, enters the den of the Satanist sect, which turned out to be a secret laboratory in which terrible genetic experiments were performed. Gradually, the attempt to unravel the mystery of disappearance turns into a desperate attempt to escape from this hellish place.

- find out if you can overcome your fear and enter a house that is teeming with infernal creatures;
- fight with terrible monsters, creatures of hell or hide from them;
- Uncover a secret of the missing relative and understand what is really going on in this place;
- Look for secret passages in the walls of the house and the keys to the secret doors, find notes;
- and finally, you have to look into the deepest corners of the mind of the main character, to understand who he really is.

Horror. Nightmare. Fear. Monsters. Madness. And again ... And again ....

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Phobia is widely considered one of the worst games on Steam, with players consistently complaining about poor controls that feel unresponsive, rough translations from Russian with awkward phrasing, frequent crashes, and a confusing menu interface that doesn't even align properly. The gameplay itself is criticized as repetitive and tedious, with players describing long walks through forests interrupted by sudden enemy encounters that end the game abruptly, and the overall experience is described as a waste of time and money. Players unanimously recommend avoiding this game entirely.

"Fight or hide," it says, but the only thing you'll be fighting is the urge to uninstall, as your character moves like a shopping trolley with a seized wheel. With a 37% approval rating and reviews drier than a mummy's cough, Phobia isn't a game - it's literally a disaster. Final verdict: The real horror is realising you paid money for this 💀

The worst reviewed game of my entire steam library. And let me just say, it has earned each and every negative review. All the text in this game is a poor translation of Russian with phrases such as, “penetrate the house”. The game tended to crash on me within 2 minutes of launching. It also has a menu straight out of design hell. Honestly the scariest part of this game is that these menus don’t even align. Apparently other people were able to play the game and it looks like there are some actual monsters and a house to “penetrate.” I would not recommend anybody play this game and I am going to be removing it from my library.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
