Fear Academy

Actual real review. others are clearly fake. The positive is, creepy atmosphere. but there is no story, no reason to even to even find what you came to the school to look for, and the ending made no sense. the camera mechanic is used once and its the easiest puzzle ever. what a waste. the ending doesnt make any sense. booooooo

Bare boned.. theres nothing to this at all. 0 Story its literally just walk around. Theres no way these other reviews are real.

Creepy and well made atmosphere, great sound design, and solid puzzles that kept me on edge. I got jump scared multiple times and held emotional support objects throughout the game, highly recommend!

This game really had no substance and a weak story. Just walking around a school with no markings or anything, very confusing in the beginning just to find the right "office". Would not recommend unless it was half the price at least.

Well, I'd like to say there's a lot of ambition with Fear Academy, but I'd be lying to majority of the playerbase on Steam that genuinely wants the next gen horror experience. Let me summarize the gameplay, but keep in mind that I have absolutely no ill-feelings towards the dev. I can respect wanting to make an inspired video game that stands out, but this ain't it - lemme explain. Fear Academy is nothing more than a first person asset flip. The only objective is, essentially, to 'get to one area and trigger the jumpscare, then puzzle', rinse and repeat. This is yet another dime-a-dozen horror game that tries nothing new, with the exception of a useless mechanic where the player has to use a 'cameroid' to take pictures and reveal codes. The puzzles are so weak and simple minded, they feel more like a time waster. The supposed threat of the game, the Janitor, isn't elaborated on and no further context is given as to why we're even trapped in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ school. The writing for the game is heavily AI generated as well as its art. I cannot prove this, but any sensible human being with a brain can figure it out right away. One of the opening captions says verbatim; "in shadowed halls, a heartless hand strikes, unaware of the silent sorrows left behind. Unseen echoes fill the air, within walls where young hearts roam." This statement wasn't written by a human being, and it doesn't even correlate to the main game. There's no mention of any victims, it's literally a massive nothing sandwich. Please, I urge you, stop promoting these types of games and start asking for better. The developer of this game is probably an amateur and really young, and there's nothing wrong with giving it your best shot - but this game is going to get lost in the dumpster bin of Steam if it comes out in the state it is today. Don't bother.

🕯️ Fear Academy es un horror psicológico en primera persona donde, como director de una escuela secundaria, te adentras en un entorno perturbador que gira entre lo cotidiano y lo surrealista, atrapado por una presencia ancestral que ha invadido el lugar y desencadenado un terror que debes descifrar para sobrevivir. 🌌 FEAR ACADEMY | ESCUELA EMBRUJADA, MENTES SOBREVIVIENTES - https://youtu.be/6LWCQtFCX2M DESARROLLADOR / EDITOR – @LostInputGames LANZAMIENTO – 27 de agosto de 2025 (ya disponible) GÉNERO – Horror psicológico, Survival Horror, Aventura, Puzles en primera persona PLATAFORMAS – PC (Steam) con textos y voces en español Después de regresar a Hillcrest High para recuperar un objeto olvidado, te encuentras atrapado en una pesadilla viva: los pasillos están llenos de ambientación inquietante, y cada sombra y sonido amplifica el suspense.

20-30 mins of nothing . should make this game for free . not worth it.

评分：3/10----速通流程10分钟就能通关，通过不断的闪光来吓人，比较低级。故事也讲得不好，云里雾里的，最后就这？原价22元，这个质量太贵，完全不值。唯一的优点：没有用烂大街的场景素材。

Game was too short. No story. No chases for such a big school. Game has great potential and gameplay didn't match the trailer. Too bad.

I can say that the horror theme is quite well done in the game, along with the atmosphere and sounds, but I was looking forward to a few more jump scares.I was expecting the game to start with a story, but there is no story narration at all. The objectives are written in the TAB menu, but it would have been better if there was at least some subtitles or a guiding narration (either voice acting or just subtitles). I liked the fact that you can interact with almost every object in the game.One time, a small flowerpot had fallen on the ground, and when I stepped on it, my character started spinning around. After two turns, she stopped and stared at the door. At that moment, I got scared and thought a jumpscare was coming, but it was actually because of the pot. (Be careful with small objects on the floor, they can scare you :D). Overall, the game felt a bit short to me, I was expecting it to be longer.I’m not someone who plays a lot of horror games, but I can say that I enjoyed this one. Overall, I would rate the game 7/10. If it had voice narration and a bit longer gameplay, it would definitely be a 10/10 game.
