Speaking about Dark Fear, the developer has said:
“For Dark Fear, my aim was to design it in such a way that even the most casual gamer could pick it up and start playing. This was made even more difficult by the fact that Dark Fear isn’t just an RPG; it’s an adventure game, too, which means you have to talk to people, pick up objects, solve puzzles, etc. The key to bringing all this together was simplicity. Dark Fear’s game mechanics are extremely simplified and easy to understand. The player begins the game with absolutely nothing. Just a blank screen. No instructions, no menus, no interfaces. As the player figures out what to do and each game mechanic is gently introduced, they begin to get a sense of what the game is all about. Before they know it, they’re fully immersed in a role-playing game.”
