Our take on Phobia
The horror framing foregrounds fear, monsters, and madness, while the premise also depends on detective work, house exploration, hidden routes, keys, notes, and questions about the protagonist’s identity. The setup is focused on investigation and escape as well as creature encounters.
What is Phobia?
A private detective enters a secret laboratory hidden inside a satanist sect’s house while investigating a wealthy family’s missing relative.
The facility contains the results of terrible genetic experiments and creatures from hell. The investigation becomes an attempt to escape. Gameplay involves exploring the house, searching for notes, locating hidden passages in its walls, finding keys for secret doors, and confronting or avoiding monsters. The story also examines the main character’s mind and identity as the mystery develops.
