Everything you’ve ever dreamed of can be yours with The Fabulous Fear Machine, a narrative-driven strategy game with a pulp horror style. Become a Master of the Machine, spread the darkest Legends of urban myth, and let fear rule the world.
From the creators of 2018’s hit Do Not Feed The Monkeys, The Fabulous Fear Machine was announced last year and is the latest game that features a single-player, real-time strategy with a retro comic style. You are the Master of the Machine, whose goal is to generate and spread fear by telling stories of various legends, scary stories, myths, and conspiracy theories that lurk in the dark corners of the mind.
The Fabulous Fear Machine demo will give you a first look at the features of the game and how the game works. The tutorial and the preview of the game tell about first major storyline. In the demo, you will find out how a Master selects their goals for a region and strategically places their agents. It also shows how Legends work and the process of them getting powerful as they evolve. Lastly, you will also be introduced to the game’s first rival, an NPC with the ability to deeply impact the game’s narrative and strategy elements.
Key Features:
- Horror evolved. Plant the seeds of fear in fertile ground. Watch and listen to how the media reacts to your Legends. Feed them, then see them grow more powerful and effective.
- The job done right. Your strength is in strategizing; leave the dirty work to your Agents. Send them to explore new locations and infiltrate your enemies, making interesting choices along the way.
- An equal and opposite reaction. Rivals and the forces of good alike seek to undo the Machine’s influence for their own ends. Plan accordingly, or you may find your own Legends twisted into inspirational stories, mascots, or other sugary-sweet clichés.
- Think globally, scare locally. Many Legends are drawn from the unique cultural history of specific countries. Travel the world, and learn what terrors each populace delights in.
- A tale as old as time. You’ll direct the stories of several Masters operating in different regions of the world. Along the way, explore the history of the Machine, its enemies, and the Agents who aid you.
