Fear Equation

Отличная игра, хороший концепт, неплохая реализация

It doesn't work, which leaves me a bit salty because this looks like a game I'd really like. I started the tutorial twice - first time I got to the front of the engine but everything was pitch dark and I couldn't select anything. Second time the engine was lit up and I got started, but I couldn't forward to the next phase which begs the question who is going to play this in real time and why is that even an option? That would take days. There are other posts in the forum where there were problems like this and this being a 6 year old game, they're never going to get fixed.

Considering it's only the publisher's third game, the skill that's been put into the ambience and core gameplay loop is incredible. The game is small in some aspects, but it features wonderful details and it makes everything work in an entrancing, enjoyable way.

Coup de coeur de cette année pour ma part ! Le concept de ce jeu de survie est juste génial et totalement inédit. Un mélange de Stephen King (The Mist) et de Snwopiercer (vous dirigez un train et ses passagers) pour l'ambiance. Votre objectif : fuir le brouillard tout en récupérant des survivants sur votre route et en planifiant des missions de récupération de vivres, carburant, etc. L'immersion est totale et la durée de vie excellente étant donné l'aléatoire de chaque partie. Déjà 8h de jeu en deux jours, je n'arrive plus à décrocher. Une perle indé' comme on en fait rarement, et hélas totalement méconnue. Si l'anglais ne vous rebute pas, foncez les yeux fermés !

Another weird game from Screwfly Studios. I just finished my first game (restarted 2 times while learning) and I got a Poor score, so I have a good reason to try again! I had a great time with this game. I really like the quirky settings and sounds, their strange way of approaching game designs, ... (I hated the win music at the end of the game, what terrible sound quality on a terrible short loop) Game is good, stable, runs on Linux. Paid around 1 euro/hour now... Worth it! For some reason, the tutorial never got started on my laptop, but it did start on my desktop PC (both Arch Linux), but if you watch a bit of youtube and/or read the in-game manuals, you don't really need a tutorial imo. One thing I really don't like is that you can only save the game after the night. Once you initiate a new day, you need to completely finish that day to be able to save your day. Days aren't that long, but still... Can't wait to see what their next project will be.... I'm a great fan of both the 'Zafehouse Diaries', but not a fan of their 'Deadnaut' series. Maybe a quirky space sim?

Game does not progress for me, posted about it, not response.

I like the basic concept of the game, but the game has basically been hung out to dry by the developer and has not recieved any updates in years. Nit-Picks I have with the game: -Faction disputes are rarely a factor at all in the game, they only serve to determine whether train carriages will accept certain new passengers or not; as far as loyalty goes most factions will be satisifed as long as you feed them and don't let the fog kick their asses. Faction disputes/politics are a non-factor. -Once your carriages have enough defences against fog attacks, these also become a non-factor, and the only concern you will have in the long-run is food and fuel, so the game boils down to basically travelling to different settlements to obtain food. -No option to bar new passengers from joining the train, thus sacrificing food stability. -No option to issue new work orders during the middle of the day EVEN WHEN YOUR PASSENGERS HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO AND ARE SITTING AROUND DOING NOTHING. -For the Blockade scenario specifically, you have absolutely no way of knowing what day of the week it is even though you are supposed to ascertain on what day the military plans to drop their nukes, the calendar only has numbers. -Minimal consequences (if any) of picking the exact same people for the lottery (i.e. scavenging missions) despite that supposedly being important. Overall, once you've played a single game of Fear Equation, you've basically seen all the game has to offer, no need to replay it.
