Fear for Sale: The Dusk Wanderer Collector's Edition

People disappear all over the world, and many of them are never found. Whether they are kidnapped or they just decide to leave everything behind and leave, it’s usually pretty difficult to tell. However, investigators always try to find a reason for their disappearance, because sometimes these people need help in order to return home or escape their captors.

Fear for Sale: The Dusk Wanderer is a classic hidden object adventure game in which your goal is to play detective and investigate the case of a couple that disappeared a few decades in the past. The game is part of the Fear for Sale series, and it shares many of its elements with previous titles, at least when it comes to gameplay mechanics and the way your progress over the course of the story.

Speaking of which, it all takes place in the European countryside, where a couple has disappeared over four decades ago. However, the woman has been recently seen around her childhood home, looking as young as forty years ago. Naturally, supernatural forces are involved, and you must fight off evil spirits in order to get to the bottom of the mystery and rescue the couple.

Your time is usually spent trying to uncover the necessary clues required to move on to the next area, which is not that difficult if you are familiar with the genre. In essence, each scene contains a few areas of interest, which is where you can collect items and store them in your inventory until you need them. There’s also the occasional puzzle to tackle, but don’t expect anything too challenging, especially since you can even skip them entirely.

As for the graphics, they are as basic as they can get in the genre, but that doesn’t mean you cannot admire the scenic views and the nice character design. In fact, some of the landscapes are quite dreamy, not to mention the fact that there’s also a soothing soundtrack playing in the background. Each cutscene features voice acting as well, which is not bad at all.

All things considered, Fear for Sale: The Dusk Wanderer could have featured slightly nicer puzzles, as well as a better color palette, but the overall game is quite enjoyable. Thus, it should be perfect for the fans of the series and of HOPAs in general.
