Players search for experiment results, erase evidence like the Buffer named Sally, and confront monsters on the streets. Personal stakes drive the mission: a missing mother whose clue leads here.
Explore lifeless houses to uncover residents' fates and speak with lingering souls. Follow Sally's commands to gain her trust, handle daily chores, and decide her outcome. Indie horror fans who enjoy tense exploration and moral choices will find a gripping loop in avoiding creatures while piecing together the truth.
Born Into Fear is a first person horror game set in an empty suburban neighborhood called North Hollow Heights. Its residents have all been murdered in a single night by an organization lauded as the protectors of humanity. You are Agent Jay, a member of this organization: Aegis. Aegis has asked you to search the lifeless homes, gather the results from their experiment, and eliminate any evidence, including the Buffer they’ve created, “Sally.” However, you have another reason to work with Aegis: your mother has been missing for a year, and the only clue you have points you towards North Hollow Heights. If you ever want to see her again, you’ll have to deal with the monsters lurking there, one way or another.
North Hollow Heights was an ordinary neighborhood before Aegis’ experiment. Its people lived happy lives in their homes filled with love and laughter. Now, those same homes lie dead and silent. While you seek out a way to destroy the Buffer, uncover the truth of the experiment. Earn Sally’s trust by following her commands and rules. Maybe, you’ll even help the deceased pass on.
