True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 2

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. :)

Part 2 of the “True Fear: Forsaken Souls” trilogy has exploded my expectations for the hidden object adventure game subgenre. It's now one of my favorites I've played. I recognized the complexity of the gameplay and story in Part 1, but the second game takes this even further - much further!
It's to the point where I wondered why these developers didn't go ahead and make a fully-fledged adventure game. They accomplished so much in TF Pt.2, that they're already 70% of the way there!
To illustrate how different and epic this game is compared to other HOAGs, I'll tell you that I received an item in the first 30 minutes of the game, which remained in my inventory and was only used seven hours later.
Also at the beginning of the game, there's an inaccessible area that has an obvious solution for how to get to it. It intrigued me for the next five or six hours until I finally found the item needed to pass through. I love that the game's design has these kinds of "teases," and it made me motivated to keep moving forward.
Like Part 1, TF Pt.2 is structured around exploring a single large location. The Dark Falls Asylum opens up as you make progress. You will learn the meaning of "backtracking" like never before. The expanse of the playable area is huge, so it's a lot to remember. Fortunately, there's plenty of flavor text that often provides subtle or direct hints about what to do.
Even so, there were moments where I got legitimately stuck and looked at a video walkthrough. The game definitely has some obscure interactions that I didn't expect.
While going through this stylized art deco insane asylum, there are creepy events, and even some jump scares, to keep the feelings of horror and tension. Many cutscenes play through the game, which are surprisingly effective despite their PS3-level graphics.
This game even has real-time 3D rendering for some scenes! I haven't seen that in a HOAG since Melissa K. and the Heart of Gold. (Which I DO NOT recommend!)
When I finished the game, I got about six achievements blowing me up at once, which was kind of satisfying heheh. I noticed I was missing just two achievements, one of which was for finding all hidden collectibles. As I considered this, I got a funny idea... and I was right that the final collectible I needed was in a very clever location that you wouldn't expect.
The last achievement is just leaving the game running for three hours. It's dumb, but whatever. I'll leave it overnight and "earn" myself another Perfect Game on Steam.
I have it on good authority that “True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3” is nearing completion. You better believe I'll buy it on launch and see what these amazing developers come up with next!

The best HOG I have ever played, hands down. Music, story, voice acting, atmosphere, puzzles... all of it was so well done! Highly, highly recommended. (Only negative is it doesn't actually have any true hidden object screens. But the game shines without them.)

This game is way above average on the Mountain Crime Requital scale.

This takes all that was good in part 1, and makes it even better, I think that the devs have capture atmostphere even moreso in this game than in the previous! I definitely recommend this to any HOG enjoyer out there. ONE BIG NOTE, however, is that this game DOES NOT have the traditional "look for item" section. While I do miss it, I think the new mini game mechanic that replaced it is a lot more immersive story-wise and way more interesting on the downside, if you stream it, you won't be able to have the chat members be active participants in the game.

Still, it is a lot of fun. I can't wait for the third installment to this game!!!

I have replayed both part 1 and 2 multiple times and I feel like it is one of those games that it gets better with replays because you pick up on more than you previously did. The story is so captivating and I think about it all the time, the graphics and art design for this game is stunning, and overall the eerie atmosphere and creepy moments scare me half to death and I love it every. Single. Time. I was so excited to hear about the official timeline for part 3's release! It's bittersweet because this game has kept me up late at night for a couple of years, but I can't wait to see how this incredible story finally ends.

brilliaant graphics...eerie and scary in parts, but captivating x

Part 2 is just as good as part 1. I enjoy spooky atmospheric games that aren't survival horror. I can chill and get into the story.
