The Fabulous Fear Machine is an interesting and unique strategy game that could be a cult classic for those who overlook its clunkier moments.
Quick Links Sometimes it’s nice to play a bad guy. Whether it’s taking on the role of a villain by exploring the secrets of Fallout and being a thoroughly nasty piece of work, or being a not-so-benevolent creator in titles like The Sims series, there is something inherently fun about taking on the role of the antagonist now and again. Enter The Fabulous Fear Machine from developer Fictiorama Studios and AMC Games, which asks the player to bring about some very bad things in the world at large.
These fears are chosen through things called Legend cards, with cities or towns having a set number of available spaces to expand the horror. However, for these fears to thrive and for the player to succeed, they’ll have to successfully use their agents in the field, exploring new locations, finding new items, and disrupting rival fear-mongers or utopias that will hinder the player’s nefarious schemes.
The writing, too, is very strong. There’s a real sense of personality in The Fabulous Fear Machine, whether it’s the unnerving dialogue of your untrustworthy, ghastly guide or the deceptive nature of many of the player’s rivals. The pick of the bunch is the dialogue given by the player’s agents, equal parts tragic stories of horror or isolation and mischievous villainy.
