About Fear of The Unknown

Experience the horror in reliving the past of mysterious and horrible crime scenes that have taken place in this strange world. Fear of The Unknown targets the fear of the "unexpected" or the "unknown" and uses multiple environments to amplify the fear that this game provides.

Fear of The Unknown's scene one follows the story of Edward Hevaney, particularly the story of his death. His job as a personal doctor to a patient named Marilyn, required him to leave the city and visit her twice-weekly. However; his last visit does not end well...


Fear of The Unknown contains suspenseful events designed to keep the player waiting, not knowing what comes next, but those pauses can also be moments of realization.


Unlike most horror games out there, Fear of The Unknown's environments are unique. They are designed to provide the player with realistic places and the feeling of actually being there. Looking around might just be the right thing to do if you are a story seeker.


Solving some puzzles will allow you to learn the past and the truth behind everything, mainly the past of the dark figure. But be careful not to go too deep, or you might just end up like the rest of them.

I recieved this game for free as part of a giveaway hosted by the developer. Honestly, this was incredibly disappointing. Im aware this is early access, but what is here is not even worth a few bucks. A total of 3 puzzles in the entire game, one of which has serious flaws(looking at you, red room with nearly impossible to see dots), and none of which are particularly difficult(2 of the 3 of them are converting stuff into numbers). There is a fair amount of assets that just look bad(2d sprite scroll, 2d sprite grass come to mind), and pointless mechanics that add nothing to the experience(Why does the flashlight and the Lamp even have limited light if they're only used for 1 short section each, and dont provide any gameplay depth or interest outside of 'OH NO IF YOU DONT HURRY UP YOU WONT SEE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥'. Theres not even any recharging batteries for the flashlight's segment, its just one slow walk down a dark hallway). There was a few clever attempts at scares i liked(and by few, i mean I liked the granophone turning itself back on if you turn it off and walk away), but the vast majority are cheap screamers with a loud stock horror sound(I swear i heard the one used in the R.V mult…

I enjoyed the game very much. However, there were some parts where I got stuck, or there was so much lag i couldn't control anything I was doing. I was able to look past all this, my main concern...there is no save option. When bugs occurs I have to go to the main menu, or even close the game entirely; when that happens the game starts all over again. This makes it very difficult for streaming or recording for YouTube. The bugs are a minor set back that is fixable by starting the game back up, but please, consider putting in a save option where we can pick up on our last save.. Thank you! If you'd like to see some of the bugs i faced you can view the gaming footage I recorded which will be uploaded to YouTube on 9/9/2020 @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtNVGY0swWdVJCwfHEfRRJw?view_as=subscriber

This game is an unoptimized mess the frame rate tanks whenever you turn your head no matter what despite walking being just fine. The graphics settings do not effect the graphics as a whole having no actual settings to change this to avoid the frame rate drop the settings only affect the shadows, anti-alising, and extra assets such as the open and drag icon. The game has no saving except for when you change the graphics quality. I ran into several bugs such as being able to easily pass the reaper at the start of the game on boot, the room for the runes being inaccessible, and the back door being permanently jammed causing me to have to start over from the start. There is a lack of clear clues for any of the puzzles leaving one to bump around for possible hours confused only to end up brute forcing it. As well to top it all off the flashlight is limited while with the lamp you were given many bottles of fuel. This game should be free with the state it is in no one should be paying 13 dollars for this as it is.

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.
