Anthology of Fear

Jun 10, 2024

There are plenty of fine elements to this horror experience. However, I believe the developer has tried to push the envelope too much. Their out-of-the-box thinking muddies the water and the lack of cohesion makes things tough to follow. As such, it doesn’t reach its potential and I cannot recommend it.

Since my experience is limited to the Xbox version of Anthology of Fear I would have to say this game is a pass for me, mostly due to the horrendous teeth extraction and complete inability to finish the game; however, I would recommend picking up the PC version if you have a machine that will run it since it does seem to be in working order. I wouldn’t put it up there with my own short list of indie-horror greats, but it’s worth a weekend viewing. 4 out of 10 Pros - Some Spooky Atmosphere - The Death Animation is a Fun Homage to the VHS Era - Some Effective Jump Scares - Solid Visuals Cons - You Can’t Finish the Game on Xbox as of this writing - The Teeth Extraction - Abrupt Level Transitions - Lack of Cohesion Between Areas/Stories/Mechanics Anthology of Fear was developed by OhDeer Studio in association with 100 GAMES and published by 100 GAMES and Ultimate Games S.A..

Unfortunately, Anthology Of Fear was a miss for me. It didn’t offer anything I hadn’t seen before, nor did it present itself in a way that’d catch my attention. With a lack of enemies, threats, or even jumpscares and creepy events, most of my time within the game felt empty and bland. I felt like I walked from place to place and saw the same corridors and areas. Most unfortunately, I couldn’t even finish the game. On the second videotape, I had to do a mini-game to progress, but the controls stopped working every time I got to it. I tried restarting the level and the game and played the game up until the same point to no avail. Though the price point is low, I wouldn’t recommend Anthology Of Fear until a few months have passed.

Anthology of Fear is one of the most mind-numbing and unremarkable horror games that I’ve played this year. It’s nothing more than a walking simulator, with very few actual moments of tension or effective scares. Not to mention a story that only serves to frustrate and confuse. There are so many better choices out there, so I recommend steering clear of this one.
