Fear Academy

This game really had no substance and a weak story. Just walking around a school with no markings or anything, very confusing in the beginning just to find the right "office". Would not recommend unless it was half the price at least.

Well, I'd like to say there's a lot of ambition with Fear Academy, but I'd be lying to majority of the playerbase on Steam that genuinely wants the next gen horror experience. Let me summarize the gameplay, but keep in mind that I have absolutely no ill-feelings towards the dev. I can respect wanting to make an inspired video game that stands out, but this ain't it - lemme explain. Fear Academy is nothing more than a first person asset flip. The only objective is, essentially, to 'get to one area and trigger the jumpscare, then puzzle', rinse and repeat. This is yet another dime-a-dozen horror game that tries nothing new, with the exception of a useless mechanic where the player has to use a 'cameroid' to take pictures and reveal codes. The puzzles are so weak and simple minded, they feel more like a time waster. The supposed threat of the game, the Janitor, isn't elaborated on and no further context is given as to why we're even trapped in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ school. The writing for the game is heavily AI generated as well as its art. I cannot prove this, but any sensible human being with a brain can figure it out right away. One of the opening captions says verbatim; "in shadowe…

20-30 mins of nothing . should make this game for free . not worth it.

I cannot recommend this terrible game. The gamebreaking bugs broke the immerson and horror. During my 30-35 minutes playthrough I experienced nothing but frustration rather than horror. Oh there was only 4 horror parts. We saw the creepy janitor once. I didn't get end game either. What was it about? What happened? I'd ratehr not ruin the end game by putting it here. My first issue was you can softlock yourself out of the game so you have to reload the checkpoint like I had to because there is no inventory system. I was in the bathroom, and Instoad of the developers adding in an invenotry where you pick things up like electic knobs to put in the electric box you have to carry them in front of you 1 by 1 and if you press left click insterad of right click you throw them aross the room or throw them behind the dresser so your then locked out and can't progress as they are stuck. I had to reload the bathroom part 4 times. There is a scary janitor but no chase and you see him for 2-3 seconds all game and that's it. Not very scary. There is another 3-4 jump scares where the lights flash and your protagonist gasps and another where a dead body changes 3-4 times. That's it,, apart …

I fun game in Unreal Engine 5.4. Could use more content. here's a video, so you can decide for yourself https://youtu.be/tE7ZNpQCY38 P.S. if you're streaming this the game is just chalked full of copy written music

Game was too short. No story. No chases for such a big school. Game has great potential and gameplay didn't match the trailer. Too bad.
