In Fear I Trust

Beware - this game makes you feel motion sick real quick, for whatever reason

In Fear I Trust is a first-person psychological horror experience that leans far more heavily on atmosphere, implication, and unease than on traditional survival-horror mechanics. Developed by Black Wing Foundation and published by Fulqrum Publishing, the game places players in the role of Nikolay, known only as Patient #17, who awakens in a bleak, claustrophobic facility with little understanding of who he is, where he is, or why he has been imprisoned. From the very beginning, the game establishes a sense of vulnerability and disorientation, using confined spaces, muted colors, and an oppressive silence to make players feel trapped inside both the environment and the protagonist’s fractured memory. The setting draws strong inspiration from Cold War–era institutions, blending Soviet-style architecture with the unsettling suggestion of unethical medical experimentation. Corridors are narrow, rooms are sparsely furnished, and everything feels worn down by time and neglect, reinforcing the idea that this is a place where human suffering has been normalized and forgotten. Rather than relying on overt scares, the game cultivates tension through its environments, letting flickering lig…

Aggressively mediocre. With puzzles pulled from the 'Baby's first video game' textbook. A story that's been told to death, and with an atmosphere that's about as frightening as a coffee shop.

The graphics are terrible, the puzzles are illogical or just annoying, and the story is boring. It seems like it's a mobile port, so unsurprisingly it also has tons of technical issues. Not worth playing at any price.

Length for all chapters: <3hr 30min I want to hit this off from the start, buy this game only for the gameplay the narrative is not finished and will most likely never be finished. The story of In Fear I Trust at the minute is very disjointed and I am not sure what is even going on, maybe supernatural, maybe the story is filled with metaphors who knows, we are NEVER getting an ending. In Fear I Trust the player is effectively going through events in the main character's life, each adding to the mystery of what has happened to him. The game's narrative is really interesting as so much of the game feels supernatural and mysterious. A lot of the narrative of the game is given to the player through notes, or audio recordings of the past. While the player can just watch the animations and ghosts, I really recommend in this game to look for the collectables as the main game won't fully tell you what is going on. The puzzles are mostly simple, while you can go straight into them, there is usually a useful hint hidden in the game. There are a range of puzzles throughout the game, and a lot of unique differences between each other. While there is a bit of item collection in the game, mo…

IDisclaimer: I did enjoy this game, but objectively - it's just not so good. So that ended up as a thumbs down. If I had to put it on a scale I'd say this is a 5\10 game. Short review: + That's a puzzles-only game, if that's your cup of tea. Personally, it reminded me a bit of the 7th Guest & 11th Hour, although it does not live up to the same quality of puzzles, and has a much more serious vibe. + Somewhat ok stories for each chapters separately. + Collectibles +/- Very short, around 2-4 hours to complete all episodes. +/- No action sequences whatsoever - no fighting, no running, no one is chasing you. +/- Story is rather vague and gets increasingly hard to follow +/- Graphics&Sounds are usually meh - Incomplete (episode 5 would probably never release) - Puzzles quality and difficulty is very inconsistent. Some portion of the puzzles is extermely difficult and illogical, on others you're practically fed with the solutions. A small remaining portions is actually good ones. Longer Review: STORY By this point you probably have notices the game is split into 5 episodes (with the final one never released). Withtout spolering away too much (this would be a difficult thing to do, an…
