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.
