The story reminded me of some of Jennifer McMahon
work. On the one hand, it is quite interesting, but on the other hand it is extremely predictable and does not give due interest. As for the puzzles: This is one of the easiest genre games I've played.

True Fear: Forsaken Souls (Part 1) was a point and click HOG consisting of three acts, the aim to uncover a familial mystery. It had the atmospheric surroundings of abandoned, dilapidated houses and a good variety of puzzles—from hidden object scenes to doing the usual busywork of finding the appropriate items to make progress. Cutscenes were decent if a little hilarious due to the protagonist’s utter lack of emotion, the story itself not so great.
As far as the horror themes went, it attempted some cheesy jump scares now and again but was safe (couldn’t be killed) overall. I can't say it was anything other than relaxing for me, but I appreciated its mood.

This is a point-and-click escape-the-room type game. You play as girl-whose-family-is-dead and try and figure out what-is-happening. It's a fine game, actually better made than I assumed it would be, but doesn't really do anything too interesting. They also use this horrible, horrible tree-shaking-in-wind sound effect constantly.
This is a real piece of shit. I can't stand developers who so clearly have no respect for the horror genre and are just trying to make a quick buck thinking its an easy genre to capitalize on
Very interesting game with captivating storyline
