About FM
FM is a short first-person psychological horror experience with a huge emphasis on narrative and environmentally-based puzzles.
FM takes heavy inspiration from and, in some aspects, is intended to be a low-budget spiritual successor to P.T.
WARNING: THIS GAME CONTAINS FLASHING LIGHTS AND IMAGES THAT MAY MAKE IT UNSUITABLE FOR THOSE WITH PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY OR OTHER SIMILAR CONDITIONS. PLAYER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
A light flickers above you, illuminating the blood seeping onto the bathroom floor from your head. The tile-lined room is empty, devoid of any furniture or accessories. As you get up from the floor, your vision is distorted by TV static.
What just happened? Where am I? Who am i?
You leave the bathroom and enter the living room of a moderately-sized home. Everything seems vaguely familiar. As you explore your surroundings, a radio suddenly begins to broadcast news of a recent murder-suicide before distorting. All lights dissipate in the nearby hallway. Someone or something is standing in the darkness, breathing.

I'm not really sure if "FM" is an asset flip. Some elements of this game certainly make it seem like the developer put some effort into assembling some kind of original here. On the other hand, a lot of the game assets don't seem like they were created by the developer, but they haven't credited any asset creators for supplying assets, which might be a case of plagiarism. There's no evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here is not much better than many asset flips, and that's a problem in itself. This is one of literally hundreds, if not thousands of amateur first person jumpscare horror games on Steam. This one does seem to be mostly genuinely made, the question of plagiarism aside, but that doesn't mean that it's good. The game storyline is completely familiar and often used by Russian asset flippers, you're in a spooky apartment building/house whatever and you have to wander around, look at stuff, do a little lightweight adventure game clicking on environmental stuff, and get the odd jumpscare. Yeah, not much in the way of innovation in these games, but some attempt was made in FM as you need to listen for au…3 found this helpful
Not very compelling horror game but it does give you scares and anxiety to keep it a horror game. Kinda cheesy in some sections following generic tropes but again, still keeps that suspense high. I’d play it again…it wasn’t horrible just mid…get it on sale.2 found this helpful
This was a neat little P.T like game. Cliche, yes, but done in a fun way that kept me interested throughout. Although there are tons of games in this category, this one did a pretty good job. It has taken me ages to actually download and play this game due to some of the reviews but am glad that I finally did.1 found this helpful
My Score: 3/5 This was pretty entertaining, not too scary, but there are adult themes that may be uncomfortable for some individuals. The mechanics were creative, but inconsistent at times so I got stuck on the locker part.
Great Game keep scaring me!!!!!!
[Comment] Really good game! I liked the story a lot and the puzzles were also interesting. One riddle took me about 20 minutes to solve because I had to zoom somewhere in the dark and I couldn't see were I had to zoom. 😂 [Bug] [spoiler]When I solved the second school riddle with the books the bell didn't ring and I had to restart the whole chapter.[/spoiler] [Rating] 9/10
