A 3rd person, fixed-camera survival horror adventure: Fear The Presence, a mysterious entity you cannot fight! Stay alert, hide, breathe slowly... Explore cursed places where unseen spirits and lost souls linger in a true horror story for the ages.

A famed writer has gone missing: Sebastian P. Husher and his entire family are gone! Worried, his editor sends an assistant to his house in order to look for him… but the assistant never came back. These disappearances spark a set of events that will soon reveal something dreadful.

Song of Horror offers a truly dynamic terror experience: Experience unbearable fear as an otherworldly being, The Presence, responds to your way of playing and hunts you down in unexpected ways, offering a unique experience to every player and gameplay where tension builds up naturally instead of coming from scripted sequences.

As a player, you will live this story through the eyes of a varied set of characters: Every character is different and brings their unique point of view to the investigation. Their actions and decisions will shape the world you play in. Some of them will know, more or less, of certain aspects of the story. Some will be more effective against supernatural manifestations. All of them can die if the Presence gets to them - and death is permanent. If they die, you will have to pick the story up with another character and continue the investigation, so their deaths are not in vain.

A mysterious antique shop, a forgotten abbey, an abandoned mental hospital: Each location in Song of Horror is inspired by the classics of the genre. Explore and investigate these haunted places to gather clues and items that will help you solve challenging puzzles while enduring the agonizing tension of the game's atmosphere.

simple horror experience
the game uses fixed camera angles, like Resident Evil 1. there is no combat. you have to either hide or block doors. you survive encounters through mini games. you need to solve RE1 styles puzzles to progress in RE1 styles levels full of locked doors. I did not find it scary, but the atmosphere is creepy. the encounters get old, but I enjoyed the atmosphere and puzzles. there are lives in the game AKA permadeath. each time you die, you swap characters. you then need to find where your last character died to retrieve your inventory. you can also die instantly by making a poor, common sense choice or failing a QTE, which added to the pressure while playing the game, which I enjoyed. you can also die from the lack of reading your notes and doing your research about the environment which I also thought was neat. it is a very slow paced game. I recommend playing on the hard, not very hard, difficulty for a the challenge. all in all, a very unique game.

a struggle to get through
between the awkward fixed camera angles, clunky defense mechanics, and convoluted puzzles, this game was difficult to finish. I had to power through to the end, and it was...unsatisfactory.

Surprisingly Good!
Wasn't expecting much, but pretty decent jump scares and intrigue!

terribly uneventful
basic controls, lame story, I fell asleep the first five minutes bc it took too long to do anything. seems rushed to production without any concern for quality.
