Sciophobia: The fear of Shadows is a single-player, point and click, survival horror game that leads player into a dark, desolate, and all but abandoned property. Your purpose is to discover the truth about the mysteries surrounding the Greer Property and find the lost son, Jeffrey Greer.
Players take on the roll of a reporter who is namely a laughing stock in the city of Maire. The dark and the paranormal shake you to your core, but that intrigues you. Loyal to a small fan-base of believers, you write about the truth that people need to hear. The shadows aren't always just shadows, and you never know what could suck you into it, never to be seen again. Set out tonight on this journey and uncover the truth about an old legend.
PUZZLES
Players will be faced with numerous puzzles where the answers aren't always clear. Sciophobia challenges you to use your wits and will to progress through the game.
HIDDEN OBJECTS
You're here to uncover the truth! Important objects and story revealing elements will be hidden, requiring the player to search their screens.
SURVIVAL
Sciophobia is a relentless environment. Players must monitor their anxiety levels as they could very well be your death. You will find several anxiety relieving items hidden all throughout the property. Additionally, you will have the ability to take a deep breath, which will relieve only a small amount of anxiety. The Reporter will also be faced with anxiety attacks, where they must act accordingly or die.
DARK, REALISTIC, ATMOSPHERE
The Greer Property is a dreadful place, and the game will reflect that. Spirits are never far from the reporter and can be faintly heard at any moment. The forest is a dark and gloomy place, where visibility is never far ahead of you. The Reporter never knows what could be lurking in the shadows just to the right of you.
POINT AND CLICK
Sometimes, it's a nice change of pace to let the game take you on a journey rather than moving through that journey yourself. Sciophobia relies on point and click to give you a broader immersion into a world of the paranormal. The Player will need to search for items and use arrows to navigate The Greer Property.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
In the world, things are never set in stone. In the world of Sciophobia, your choices will matter as they take you through your journey. Players will be faced with hard decisions and will need to save often as they will lead you to one of four possible endings.

수많은 스팀 게임을 구매해 오면서 한국인은 커녕 외국인들 평가 마저도 없는 게임은 난생 처음이라 놀랐다. 정가도 싼데 세일가가 260원이라 부담이 없어서 똥밝았다 치더라도 날도 쌀쌀한데 걍 발바닥에 뜨듯한 온기 느껴본셈 치자싶은 마음으로 그냥 호기심에 질러봤다. 결논부터 말하자면 스팀에 널리고 널려있는 툭하면 90%세일해서 1000원이나 550원 하는 그런 똥포겜은 아니다. 스샷만 보면 3D 게임 같지만 그건 아니고 3D로 랜더링된 CG 사진을 마우스 클릭해서 조사하는 숨은그림 찾기 방식의 전형적인 포인트 앤 클릭 고전 어드벤쳐 스타일의 게임이다. 여타 다른 포클 게임과는 다른 특징으로 사운드 효과가 엄청나게 강조되어 있다. 아예 게임 처음 시작할때 부터도 헤드셋 착용하고 플레이하라고 권장하는 문구가 나온다. 제작자가 나름 근거 없는 부심을 부리는게 아닌게 사운드 효과는 1260원대 게임이라고는 생각할수 없을정도로 탄탄하다. 사운드 효과 만으로도 음산하게 공포 분위기를 제법 잘 잡는다. 다만 깜놀 요소중 고막 테러 수준의 귀갱이 다수 포함되어 있다는 점은 대단히 호불호가 갈릴 부분이다. 개인적으로는 이런 귀갱 스타일의 깜놀 요소를 저급 점프스케어의 전형이라 생각하는지라 그닥 좋아하질 않는데다 게임의 분위기가 그 자체로도 충분히 음산하니 준수하기에 굳이 1차원적인 이런 귀갱 요소까지 집어넣을 필요가 있을까 싶어 다소 아쉽다. 귀갱 요소가 생각보다 많다보니 나중엔 헤드셋을 그냥 빼버리고 플레이하고 싶을정도로 스트레스다. 결논은 엄청나게 저렴한 가격대에 분위기가 제법 잘 잡혀있는 가성비 매우 준수한 고전 포클 어드벤쳐 게임이라 추천한다. 이 가격에 이정도 퀄이면 사실 충분히 괜찮다고 본다. %그건 그렇고 설마설마 해서 아무리 싹 뒤져봐도 한국인 최초가 아니라 내가 이 게임 전세계 최초 첫 리뷰를 작성하는거 같은데 .... 그렇게 나쁜 게임이 아닌데 왜 외국인 리뷰 조차도 하나 없는걸까....(그나마 게임 공략 가이드 게시물은 한사람이 쓴게 있긴 하다)
