Thanatophobia Description
Thanatophobia for PC is an survival horror game featuring an oldschool style known from such series as Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil or Silent Hill. It is the first production by Death Knell Games.
Plot
The game tells the story of a former policeman called Sam Dehaven, who wants to take revenge on a fugitive serial killer of children. The official investigation yielded no results and cost Dehaven his career. Dehaven's private investigation reveals the implication of the supernatural.
Mechanics
The game utilizes the Unreal Engine 3. The visuals are fully 3D, but many parts of the story campaign feature a very stiff angle of the camera, over which you have no control. Like the classic survival horror games, the production focuses on exploration, combat, and solving puzzles. Even the weakest enemies can be a challenge, and fighting them is only made more difficult by the fact that the ammo is sparse.
