About Fear the Timeloop - Prologue
Fear the Timeloop - Prologue is a third-person survival horror set within a time loop. Play the first hour of the game in this prologue to the main story.
You play as Sheriff James Cooper, who wakes up in an unfamiliar room, severely wounded and bleeding. If he doesn’t tend to his injury, he will bleed out within fifteen minutes — and the cycle will begin again.
However, despite his critical condition, James must face an even greater threat: bloodthirsty monsters. The building he’s trying to escape from is surrounded by unknown individuals, ready to kill anyone who attempts to step outside.
Key Features:

We have Resident Evil at home. No, really! Out in the shed in the backyard...13 found this helpful
i wanted to like this game but didnt enjoy it, there are a couple of things made the game unpleasent. - the control is very clunky - there is no full support for controller - saving the game is very hard and rare - there is no checkpoints to save your progress, so if you die in the middle of the chapter you have te replay the whole chapter again from beginning5 found this helpful
hardpass. Uninstalled after 2 attempts. Can't get anywhere/ Doors are locked or combo codes which I can't find. Terrible demo. Needs improvement but hope its a dead game s it's not that great. Character walks backwards too.
One of the best survival horror games/prologues I have ever played. I am buying the game this afternoon. Right when I was 100% hooked; prologue ended. Very well done. This means you know your game well and that alone impressed me. The game does a great job at moving the player forward and with good reason. Everything just works! The suspense was fantastic for a game priced so low. It is sort of like a rogue-like, which is my favorite genre next to survival and survival horror. Notice I said "sort of like," we should coin that into a genre! Anyway, I played RE a lot as a child in the 90s and this scratched that old itch along with the map layout. Great puzzles! Loved being able to type codes in myself. Big plus! Some people are complaining about ammo being scarce, but I finished with 7 shotgun shells and 32 handgun bullets. I didn't leave 1 zombie alive. I guess I didn't forget to shoot 1 shot to the head and pop went the weasel (head.) Very cool! Cool scavenger hunt styled game! I had to leave this review to try and push people to play your game, as some reviewers just seemed quite off and short of skill. Shame on them for leaving a bad review because they can't aim. Great prologue…
Game looks great. I had a hard time getting the demo to let me out of the hospital rooms and doors were stuck. Great concept. and Graphics pulled me in.
Short and to the point, enjoyable as a long-time RE fan. Will likely get the full game at some point, wish-listed for now.
