Don't Be Afraid - The First Toy is a low-budget survival horror show where the main goal isn't fighting monsters but surviving your own panic. The atmosphere is dark and tense, and it managed to make me suspicious even at the sound of a door opening slightly. The horror atmosphere is quite creepy, and the puzzles are quite brain-teasing. The gameplay feels stiff at times, and there are moments that are more confusing than scary. It feels like watching a horror movie that's half serious, half forgetting what it's supposed to be about. Relating this game to the real world, it's akin to life at the end of the month, where the lights are dim, the atmosphere is tense, and every notification makes your heart race with fear of the bill coming. In conclusion, this isn't the best horror game of all time, but it's quite fun for those who enjoy a tense atmosphere without having to think too hard. At the very least, after playing this, you'll realize that running away from problems is the most universal sport.
Kısa ama etkileyici bir korku deneyimi. Atmosferi gayet başarılı, gerilim hissi sürekli yüksek ve sizi oyunun içinde tutmayı başarıyor. Bulmaca ve keşif dengesi güzel ayarlanmış, sıkmadan ilerliyor. Süre olarak kısa olsa da verdiği his ve kurduğu ortam oldukça tatmin edici. Korku türünü sevenler için kesinlikle şans verilmeye değer bir yapım. 8/10

Good atmosphere and walking horror story telling. Well played.
Простий хоррор, цікаві загадки, але й в одночас нічого такого особливого, просто цікава гра, для того аби вбити час та отримати +4 досягнення (яке 1 з них рідке), гра саме те.
good introduction to the main game
Pretty basic, but a little different with the style. It was pretty short. I'm not sure if the game is free now but I don't know how much id be willing to pay for a game that's this short.
Игра "Don't Be Afraid - The First Toy" - это мрачное и жуткое приключение, которое не оставит равнодушным. История маленького мальчика, похищенного садистом, отчаянно борющегося за выживание, цепляет с первых минут. Атмосфера гнетущего ужаса ощущается в каждом уголке дома, а визуальный стиль и звуковое оформление усиливают эффект. Головоломки достаточно сложные и заставляют поломать голову, но при этом они логичны и интегрированы в сюжет. История подается через воспоминания и окружение, что создает ощущение постоянного напряжения и непредсказуемости. Особенно впечатляют персонажи, каждый со своей трагедией и мотивацией. Несмотря на мрачность и общую депрессивность, игра оставляет после себя след. Это не просто хоррор, а скорее психологический триллер, исследующий темы травмы, насилия и надежды. Любителям жанра однозначно рекомендую, но стоит помнить, что игра содержит жестокие сцены и может быть неприятной для некоторых. Однозначно strong контент.
The First Toy was such a spooky and fun horror game! You play as Jamie, a young boy trapped in a dark, creepy cellar, and from the start it had me on edge. The atmosphere is eerie, the sounds are chilling, and the story is surprisingly deep and emotional. I loved uncovering notes and figuring out what really happened — it made the game feel mysterious and personal. The puzzles were just right too, keeping me thinking without taking away from the scares. Overall, it’s creepy, exciting, and totally worth playing in the dark. ⭐ 9/10 – Loved the story and the scares!
Um sinal me foi dado. Peguei a chave da trap, comecei a correr em direção a saída e o jogo travou. 10/10
