I’ve been interested in this game since the demo. After playing the full game, it definitely didn't disappoint. There are puzzles throughout the game, but they aren't too difficult. As for the jump scares, it would've been even better if there were more (just a personal preference), but getting chased by the game's demons and ghosts still kept me on the edge of my seat. Highly recommended for everyone to give it a try!
I went into this with low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised to find a well thought out game with no bugs, no repetition, good puzzles and some decent jumpscares scattered about. Absolutely loved the collectables side of the game, nice little addition. Really fun to play and would recommend it, especially for the price. Really well made by just the one person, so kudos to them. Would recommend for a good 60-90 minute little gem in a market full of indie horror games with the same rinse and repeat jumpscares and puzzles

A nifty little horror escape room game with an interesting story to go along with it. Gameplay is varied and the puzzle are not too difficult to decipher. I enjoyed my time with The Box of Fear and had no technical issues. I'm still not sure what is real and what isn't and I like it that way!
故事做的不错,但有些场景真的太黑了,没什么恐怖的压迫感,第一次做已经很厉害了!加油!
Be sure to check out [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/37670120/]"DaRevieweD"[/url], y'know THAT brutally honest yet beloved Steam curator that you haven't followed yet!? [h1]PROS;[/h1] + Gameplay comes off familiar but fresh. Brief yet drawn out... Clunky although it is fully functional! Much like its subject matter, you will walk away feeling conflicted. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3790302063 + The story is a pure walking cliché at this point. That said, I have seen worse attempts and this title knows what it is, it never once veers from the script. It even revels in it! + I'm not ashamed to admit it but I faced the 6(?) stages of horror- that's not a thing, but it is basically the grief equivalent. I was so sure that I was going to be ok, then I wasn't. I told myself I could finish it in one go but alas I had to take a day off. I became fuming when I figured out where it was heading, however it still surprised me in the end... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3790302480 + There were a number of puzzles because of course there are, what with this being a horror game and all. However, they were not the ones that stopped you dead in your tracks, breaking the immersion and ruining the fun! So, huzzah to you, developer~ + I love the playground-esque layout of the game with there being no "proper" loading screens anyhow and you could travel to and from levels with ease. It accentuated the realism, which was very on brand! + And can I just say... the horror? The restraint is bold af! Like, yeah, it's not the first title to ever go for the slow burn approach with minimal jumpscares (unlike what other reviews claim, hmph). But it was pulled off just right! Seriously, it just suits the overall style and solidifies the subliminal messaging all the more. Whatever you are on, whatever it is you are doing- keep at it, creator! [h1]CONS;[/h1] - Certain aspects of the game made it painstakingly obvious that the game was a debut title. Things like the limited animations, gameplay mechanics that were grandly introduced but then quickly removed, and just how some scares trigerred. So, they "take you out" of the game in that sense. But it can also get quite charming! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3790302984 - I thought there having no voiceovers was a sorely missed opportunity because (a) the game's exposition during cutscenes come off quite flat with there just being text boxes to go through and (b) the short runtime is the golden opportunity to have inexpensive voiceovers! The latter would have just added layers to the already-enjoyable experience! [h1]BUGS;[/h1] x One achievement involving a Burned Man did not trigger! [h1]NITPICKS;[/h1] ~ Some of the scares repeated if you interacted with old notes from previous levels after you reload a checkpoint. [h1]VERDICT:[/h1] "The Box of Fear is a flimsy debut and a dated entry to the indie horror sphere or so it would have you think... In fact, you will find that some elements are absolutely timeless. You would be remiss to underestimate the contents of this box! Make no mistakes though, there ain't all that much in here but what it does have will send you packing and covering your eyes. The latter more so due to amateur feats but you can forgive them with ease~" [b]4.25 out of 5[/b] Conspiracies Sincerely, Chen Ying
A pretty solid hour of scares, puzzles, and an interesting story that ties several characters together. There's a bit of murkiness in it that somewhat helps it's case as you never know what's real or not. https://youtu.be/NfxOvbK3czc
Um jogo muito bom, com uma atmosfera envolvente e bastante tensão. Todos os quebra-cabeças são únicos e bem elaborados. Se você está pensando em comprá-lo, vá em frente sem hesitar.
这是一款小体量的第一人称的恐怖游戏,中文应该是机翻的,不过影响不大,游戏的玩法包含了解密和追逐战,不过本游戏的追逐战压力不是很大,在后面拿到武器后更加压力骤减。游戏我个人感觉还是做得很不错的,特别是地下室那一段把我折腾得够呛,还差点破防哈哈哈。整体体验蛮不错的,有一些跳脸惊吓情节但体感惊吓度比较一般,游戏的解密比较简单大部分的提示都在谜题本身的附近。 剧情大致就是那种比较传统的灵异相关的故事都是主角本身的精神疾病、战后综合征、幻觉之类的。剧情简单易通就不作过多的剧透,有两个不同的结局,游戏可以在完成一个结局后继续做第二个结局,大致上就是一个走向释怀一个沉迷过去。 如果是对于这类型游戏感兴趣的,可以蹲一波好价格,还是可以消磨一段时间的。 [quote]关注鉴赏组:[url= https://store.steampowered.com/curator/46104036]鸢尾花[/url] ←"未绽鸢尾存期许,直言游戏长短得失" 加入鉴赏组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/45531088]鸢尾花[/url]←“以未至鸢尾之名,秉本心品评游戏”开始鸢尾捎书,盼所有作品皆圆满![/quote]
