Would like to add that it was a bit frustrating at first since the phone never update for me to leave and I got kinda stuck in the beginning section of the game, should be more clearer what to do during the "view point" section but once I got past that I did really have a blast with it
Thanks for making it, looking forward for more from you
6.1/10 - Game that looks pretty, but falls apart the more you play, (30 mins), this game has a good premise as you visit a home in the middle of nowhere and things get strange the further you get into the game. I thought there was a good setup and the driving mechanic was something you don't see much in indie horror games which was refreshing, I also enjoyed how you can leave the game by just driving away at the start of it and I thought that the mechanics in this game were solid.
Now I will mention the issues that affected my perception of the game. The big thing I wanted to preface is the amount of glitches I came across. Some were game breaking such as: van getting stuck on the side of a road and my character got stuck in trash beside the car when trying to pick it up so had to restart chapter for both instances. And then smaller nitpicks such as: being able to walk into the water where you can see parts of the map seeing untextured, clipping issues, blue glow of grass in the night time, and the resolution on the settings didn't change for me. I also noticed the amount of AI generated art being used which isn't an issue for me but it was slightly obvious.
Now in relation to the game, I thought some of the jump-scares worked and some were downright bad but funny due to how they were presented. I also enjoyed the last main sequence in the game but I wish there was more to it aswell.
Overall, this game is promising and I like how this is a series that hopefully will be interconnected. But I feel like the game needs some tightening up with glitches and slight improvements on the story.
Thank you for the detailed and honest description of the game and the issues. Comments like this really help me as a developer to bring the game to the right level. All the errors that were mentioned will, of course, be fixed in the near future. Some of them I already know about, while others are new. Regarding the narrative, as I noticed from the gameplay videos, people don't always notice all the hidden features in the game that help to reveal the story better. I need to work on that as well, so there’s plenty to do.
Your game starts at 12:38. Excellent first chapter! We like the concept of each chapter being a different person's alien experience. The story was told at a good pace and details like ancient temple pictures and orbs left out in a destroyed living room made us want to hunt for secrets. The big reveal was executed well and the aliens and ufo looked awesome. We encountered two soft locks which are in the video. Having chapters was helpful as it cut down backtracking when we got glitched. We loved figuring out our van was indestructible and giving in to road rage. Lil Biscuit hated Dave for some reason and sided with the aliens. He decided the aliens didn't abduct Dave at the end cause "Dave Sucks". Make of that what you will.
Fear the unknown is a great game! Maybe the next tale can be about a woman who has cancer and decides to do whatever she can but she keeps seeing a black robed man everywhere she goes and i'll let ya do the rest. See ya!
I really enjoyed this game! I love alien horror games, they're few and far in between. It was fun getting drunk by the lake too lol. Can't wait for the future chapters ^^
Yes, thank you for sharing. It's definitely a glitch—the man should walk to the right side out of the house, but sometimes he walks at an incorrect angle.
so this game was really good. just 1 thing. I managed to soft lock myself by cleaning up the scrap outside? it kinda just froze me in place after some kind of animation.
Which level are you referring to? That issue was present in level 2 in the past, but now you can't even pick up the trash. If it's happening in level 3, that's very strange because there's a video above showing it progressing without getting stuck. Please, if you can, describe the exact moment where it gets stuck—it would be very helpful for us to work on a fix.
Yes, I found the trash that can't be removed. It's in the yard, and it's a bug because it shouldn't be there. I picked it up and removed it during the testing phase. So, thank you very much!
Fear The Unknown - Dave Story - Chapter 1: On The Way | UFO Story Series
Not gonna lie, this one I really enjoyed and being chapter 1, I’m ready for more. Few good jumpscares that got me good. Good job and can’t wait to play the next ones.
i might have had my controller plugged in so maybe that was it, but in terms of describing it better i cant really; as soon as the game loads in its an endless car ride with my POV looking up and spinning in circles.
The official game does not support controllers, unfortunately, at least for now. However, I did some testing, and my Xbox One controller works pretty well ,and try the latest version of the game 1.16.
i dont use controllers but i do notice that some games that dont have support for them cause the camera to face up and spin in circles as the OP has that issue
This was fun! Loved the style and how the tone was kept. If you ever need a voice actor for your projects let me know, I'd love to work with you! I do a lot of character work for horror games and animations. Cant wait for the next one!
Great. Nice idea and the graphics aren't bad for a free indie. If you want more resources to draw from in developing future game settings you can check out my profile here:
I'm trying to expand my portfolio in text translation, I'd like to offer translating your game from English to Turkish language so it can reach a wider audience, it has a nice story.
I'm just doing it to expand my portfolio so if you can't pay for it, that's fine!

Really enjoyed this game i think it could of used a little more work in certain areas but overall it was a really fun experience and i enjoyed it alot!
You are absolutely right. I will make note of that, and in future versions of the game, I will add a few more details to enhance the narrative and bring more depth to the entire series ,I know it might feel like, 'Well, damn, we've already played it,' and now it’s different when you play it again. But there’s nothing to be done—that’s just how it’s going to be.

Yes, you’re right; it should be clearer when to leave. I’ll make sure to address this in the next update.

THIS GAME WAS FUN TO PLAY FRFR

hello ! I made a video of your game, I hope you like it.
:(This looks promising so far, and was fun to play. However, I don't think the main character is doing so great at his job lol!
Fear the unknown is a great game! Maybe the next tale can be about a woman who has cancer and decides to do whatever she can but she keeps seeing a black robed man everywhere she goes and i'll let ya do the rest. See ya!
This game was awesome! Check out my gameplay!
BTW, I get a glitch at 15:34. I thought this was suppose to happen that way, and it made for a great reaction, but it may need to be reworked.
Yes, thank you for sharing. It's definitely a glitch—the man should walk to the right side out of the house, but sometimes he walks at an incorrect angle.
No worries. Still enjoyed the game.
Me encantan este tipo de juegos, esperando episodio 2 👍🏼
so this game was really good. just 1 thing. I managed to soft lock myself by cleaning up the scrap outside? it kinda just froze me in place after some kind of animation.
What version do you have? Try the latest one 1.16.
v1.16 is what i have

was going to try and find the video but then real life happened and i got side tracked... my bad lol. but yes that trash. was entertaining though haha

Not gonna lie, this one I really enjoyed and being chapter 1, I’m ready for more. Few good jumpscares that got me good. Good job and can’t wait to play the next ones.keeps pulling my mouse to look up and go in circles, unplayable rn
Please provide more detailed information so we can better understand where the problem lies.
i might have had my controller plugged in so maybe that was it, but in terms of describing it better i cant really; as soon as the game loads in its an endless car ride with my POV looking up and spinning in circles.
do you perhaps have a controller plugged in? that happens whenever i have one plugged in

Looking forward to what comes next!
That's was something new
Gostei muito do jogo
Enjoyed your game very much - just the right amount of scary, I think. Fun game.
I dont know what I just played but I love it! Something different for sure!
fears to fathom vibes
Fear The Unknown? Much more Fear The Bug
I was 100% not expecting that ending.
