“One of the best modern takes on survival horror, The Fear Business takes all that we like about the genre and elegantly presents it in a terrorizing, cleverly satanic way.”

About This Game

Whispers of a shadowy satanic cult connected to dozens of missing people have ignited a firestorm of rumors. Some believe the tales are true, while others dismiss them as a hoax. In the wake of a brutal wave of journalist layoffs, Sarah is ready to chase the story no one else dares touch. But as she digs deeper into the horrifying mystery, she’ll soon realize that risking her life for that one shot may be the worst mistake she’s ever made.

A DIRTY JOB BUT SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT

Discover the secrets that lie behind the walls of the Solomon manor in this obscure third person survival horror made by the creators of The Night of the Scissors and Cannibal Abduction, inspired by the satanic panic from the 80s and found footage movies.

  • Experience the fear of being locked with the deadly Goat Face.

  • Find places to hide... Or fight back, if you dare.

  • Interview Black Hill's locals and record as much footage as you can in the free view first person mode.

  • A huge victorian manor to explore, every room is full of interactions, items to collect, things to record, secrets and puzzles.

  • Blow the candles that light the devil shrines for saving your progress, but there's a catch... The manor will become darker every time you do it!

  • Cinematic camera angles and authentic VHS glitches.

  • Learn about the Architect's secrets and discover an incredible plot twist!

  • Contemplate the most horrific creations in an ingame gallery art. Every piece you see was painted by real horror artists!

MULTIPLE GAME MODES!

Enjoy a classic tense survival horror experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat, or pick the scary mode for an experience full of loud jumpscares. Up to a real challenge? Opt for the Deadly mode, which features a more lethal enemy and the key to unlock and even harder difficulty!
