Evaluation

True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 1 is a self-contained episode that launched on October 19, 2016 as a complete, finished game. The store description explicitly identifies it as "Episode 1, the first in a trilogy," and the subsequent entries in the series — Part 2 (released November 2, 2018) and Part 3 (released April 21, 2025) — are separate standalone titles on Steam, not DLC or expansions added to this game. Part 1 itself has received only maintenance updates since launch (bug fixes, language additions, engine updates), with no new story content or DLC added to the game itself. The developer's post-launch communications about Part 1 specifically are all patch notes and minor fixes. The trilogy is now complete as of April 2025, and all three entries in the Hidden Object Fest 2026 promotion (April 9, 2026) are described as a complete collection. There is no announced or unreleased content attached to this specific Part 1 listing.

Evidence

True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3 released as a separate Steam title, completing the trilogy. No new content announced for Part 1.

About this game

You are walking down a street you don't recognize, the fog slowing your pace to a crawl as darkness blinds you. You pause and look up to see a house; candles flicker in every window, like a beacon. Climbing the few steps to the front door, you realize many years have passed since it was last opened – it has been sealed with rust and purpose. Inexplicably, just as you know the candles are for you, you know someone waits inside. Someone who has remained in that house since before the iron began to rust. They have been patient. Waiting for over two decades. Waiting for you.

True Fear: Forsaken Souls takes the best of the psychological thriller, blending in fun and intuitive gameplay mechanics. The cinematics, puzzles and hidden object phases have been carefully developed and are steeped in a unique and oppressive atmosphere. Episode 1, the first in a trilogy, will long be remembered.
