What people are saying

A strong, puzzle-heavy horror sequel that divides on length and jumpscares.

Most players praise True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 2 as a worthy, often superior follow-up to the first game, highlighting its expanded scope, tougher puzzles, and creepy atmosphere. Many express eagerness for the third part. [4][5][9][13][15][18][20][21][23][24][26][28][29][31][33]

However, some criticize the game for being overly long, convoluted, and reliant on cheap jumpscares, with a few noting the lack of hidden-object scenes and a frustrating map/hint button placement. A minority feel the story stalls as filler for the third part. [8][11][35][36][22][34][12]

    True Fear is MY NEW FEAR I don't review the HOG games i play in a critical manner but this one is truly one of a kind and worth a mention. This is a continuation from part 1 of the Trilogy, did it explain most of the stuff in part 1 in the second installment yes it did. So I played the 1st time off the expert mode and man it was tough as hell. Brace yourselves for these puzzles There were minor bugs where the magnifying glass would not work and that had me run in circles. I liked the fact…

    Enjoyed this one very much, except for the end... :D But yeah. I will say, just like the first one I was doing just fine and then, just one time when i was trying to get back to the demon statues, I clicked the darned hint thing instead of the map.... I hate that. But anyway... Very fun. Really enjoyed. :)

    It's a solid and decent sequel. I really enjoyed it! The puzzles were significantly more complex than in the first game, although I skipped a few, which made me feel a bit guilty. The ending completely surprised me! I can't wait to pick up the third game soon!

    Terrible. Just terrible. I'm honestly baffled at how badly designed this game is. How in the world did anyone think this was a good idea? Was it play tested at all? Did every play tester not tell them how fundamentally broken the whole design of the game is? The basic problem here is that at any given time there are WAY too many areas open, WAY too many items in your inventory, NO JOURNAL telling you your objectives, WAY too many obscure pixel hunts in various scenes with critical things…

    An average point and click game (no, it is not a hidden object game). This game is very different compared to the first part. It is way too long and way too convoluted, you have to carry way too many objects at once, there are no hidden object scenes. The biggest mistake is that the suspense horror, the one thing that made the first part memorable, was replaced by cheap jumpscares. All these things combined make this game a forgettable one.

    Well, what do we have here? Sequel that managed to outdo the original in most aspects. Very big game. Really big. With lots of puzzles and stuff to do. But I would not call it a hidden object game, because there is little to no HOG scenes. So, it's more a point and click and puzzle game. We still have cool visuals and spooky atmosphere. Locations became bigger and more variable. And the story is even more intriguing than before. I'd say, we get more more questions than answers. Fun fact. There…

    Some big issues: * story makes no sense whatsoever, it's convoluted af, and even with 2 games it's not even close to any conclusion * clickable areas are really poorly shaped - you might know what to, you might click that, but game just says no - this occasionally happens in other games, but in this one it happens all the time * a lot of things are really illogical, like you can't use pickaxe to do something that would be an obvious pickaxe job - all games do that a bit, but this one to a much…

    It's tough to review this one, the game feels like filler until part 3. Puzzles are pretty easy except the shower puzzle which didn't make any sense to me since I got the right combo but it didn't work the first couple of times. The story doesn't progress much from the 1st episode. It doesn't have the traditional hidden object scenes where you gotta find a dozen miscellaneous objects in a scene, instead it has puzzle scenes which to be fair make more sense, but I like the basic find stuff…

    Eh. Alright well... While this isn't bad... This isn't like the first one. It's also rather not well optimized (I forgot to check if the first game was running at 800 - 1.6k FPS) and the Mini-Games in this one are more to drive you annoyed/insane versus for you to have fun/challenge. I would say it's appropriate for the setting, but... I don't know why they derived from the 1st game's formula. It was creepy. Unsettling. You WANTED to know wth is going on and lalalal, the rest.

    Best in the series IMO. More cohesive, unique, and interesting than Part 1, but narrative kinda feels wasted by the 3rd entry. Great architecture, great imagery, very interesting puzzles and narrative exploration. No more hidden object cutaways, which makes sense for the world, but I think loses a little something for me personally. The puzzles are good, usually interesting and well reasoned. The limited real-time 3D elements lose a little of that hand-painted charm for me, but they're…

    An excellent followup to the first True Fear and better in almost every way. The puzzle difficulty hits the nail on the head most of the time and the atmosphere is very strong for this type of game. As in the first game, True Fear 2 has a ton of unnecessary shock moments and "jumpscares" that get funnier the further you get into the game, but are never really scary; personally I think they almost detract from the nice atmosphere these games have. Just like the first game, the soundtrack is…

    True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 2, developed by Goblinz Enterprises Ltd and published by The Digital Lounge, is a rare example of a sequel that manages to deepen its world and strengthen its emotional and psychological grip without losing sight of what made its predecessor memorable. Continuing the journey of Holly Stonehouse, the game picks up the threads of mystery left dangling in the first part and carries the player into the ominous ruins of the Dark Falls Asylum, a place that serves as…

    Part 2 is a direct continuation of the story from part 1. Same style of gameplay: point 'n click detective-like story with puzzles and hidden object mechanics. It's a bit more spooky than the first one. Overall, it's a lot bigger and somewhat better. Liked the puzzles. Although at times the 'logic' to some solutions is far fetched. Like in part 1, the protagonist is very picky at what items to use for a particular situation. A bit real-life brute force is hardly ever the correct option. The…

    While the story was good from both 1 and 2, this one is MUCH better. It doesn't feel like we're being stared into our soul by a character who can't even blink. Thank you for adding that mechanic, no matter how small it is. As for gameplay, wow is this ever difficult. It's also quite satisfying upon solving things. I did have to try and get some help with some puzzles, but that goes to show you that the game doesn't hold your hand. It's a thumbs up from me.

I started playing this series with my wife on other platforms and it just hit us as a great game we could play together. It is not advertised as a multiplayer game, but it is really easy to have your friend/family member sitting with you as you play to help you along with some of the puzzles and where you should go. The creep factor is great for this game as well. It is not "overly"…

    This game is a masterpiece of horror and adventure. If you are an avid horror and/or adventure game fan, you should totally check this out. Definitely the best "hog" game I've played, although it can barely be called that, since it is actually much, much more of an adventure, point & click game (and, actually, there aren't any real hog scenes here, they are all puzzles). The story might be a bit cliched, and the actions of the protagonist may be a bit unreasonable (ok, the very last one is…
