Scare: Fatal Picture

For a $1.99 game, this one is a LOT of fun. It's not very long. It will take you 30-45 minutes tops to finish, but it's quirky. The thing I like the most about this game is the atmosphere. The developer creates a spooky environment with SOUND. The sound effects, music, and few jump scares are well timed, and well placed. The rest of it is a bit janky, but Indie horror is janky but also FUN. You play as a girl looking for her sister that's been kidnapped/spirited away by ghosts/evil entities. You're armed with a destructive camera and set out through (albeit linear) mazes to find her. The dev clearly had inspiration from Fatal Frame titles, and anyone that's a Fatal Frame fan will get a silly kick out of this game. The story is a bit convoluted and a bit hard to follow, but you're here for just mindless fun, right? I know I have more CONS below than PROS, but honestly that doesn't make this game bad, just super quirky. PROS: * Atmospherically spooky * Great SFX * Well timed jump scares * Camera function easy to use * Easy M&K controls * Decent story (though a bit fragmented) * Linear so can't get lost CONS: * Dialogue autoscrolls and you can't stop/control how fast it goes * Not controller capable (it works...but not well. Go with M&K) * Secret items to shoot with your camera are not lit up in the viewfinder, you just have to guess (items that look out of place) * You can't tell that the game autosaves as there is no icon indication * No manual saves * Only one save slot * No map (not that you really need one) * Rapid fire on the camera seems to work better than charging it up --> monsters run as fast as you do * You'll need to learn how to run/kite enemies backwards while running and avoiding obstacles on the ground https://wwww.seravium.com https://twitch.tv/seravium
