About

Forbidden Terror is an episodic psychological horror game where each episode unravels a different horror tale.
In the first episode of Forbidden Terror, you take the role of Jonah, an 18 year old living with his parents. Jonah and his parents moved into a new house that they acquired for a very low price after a family was brutally murdered there and no one else was willing to live in it. Jonah and his best friend Emily, who is a huge fan of horror films, discover an Ouija Board at their local convenience store and bring it home for fun. They had no idea it was more than a simple board game.
The game is designed to fully immerse you in the story of the narrator. It is primarily an atmospheric, psychological horror, first-person narrative walking simulator with exploration and conversation mechanics. It features photo-realistic graphics, immersive environmental design and a cinematic aesthetic.

This is an amazing indie horror game, amazing episode 1 (i see it's a antology game) so i just hope devs of this will continue with a new stories/episodes because it could be huge! Man i LOVE horror antology stories. Movies /series/games ... i just love it! 10/10 for this little art.
Terrible.
It's free and creepy. Just go out and download it, dangus.

Really great first chapter cannot wait for the next episode
At first, it immediately reminded me of Fears to Fathom, but the genre and atmosphere quickly shift into something far more uncomfortable — in a good way. The tension is intense and definitely not relaxing, which works really well. The first episode could have been longer, as it ends just when things get really gripping. Please keep this going — I’d love to see more episodes in the future.
Muito Bom! jogo bem feito e bem executado
Overall pretty good game. A little buggy at times, but that's to be expected with indie games. Plus it's free so you really can't complain much. I would've wished for more of the story though. Like the murder that took place in the house? I give it a 6/10 on the Pear Scale. I would play another series by them.
I know indie horror will recover from the damage Fears to Fathom has done, I just wish it wasn't taking so long.
Straszne to było, szkoda że takie krótkie. Nie mogę się doczekać kolejnej części, bo ta była świetna. Aż jestem w szoku, że darmowa.
Недуже працює як хорор, тупі скрімери й якийсь обірваний кінець, вже краще зіграти в оригінальні Fears to fathom
