Fright Chasers: Director's Cut

Seems like these days there aren’t a lot of games around that are reminiscent of the games past which were longer, more involved and lots of fun. Glad to say this one is like the old days when it took a while, was just challenging enough to be fun but not overly aggravating and had a great story line. I very much liked the first Fright Chasers and was so sorry to see they were moving to PC and very excited to see that Mad Head made the decision to also produce a mobile version. This is a great title and I hope they keep it up — so many other great titles have fallen by the wayside or have been done so badly that nobody even wants to play them. This game is not one of those, in fact, it’s one that I will return to again and again and enjoy multiple times. Well done!! PS: since this game is based on old movie footage, to make it feel real, occasionally black lines show up on the screen. Please don’t think, as I did, something has gone wrong with your mobile device :(

Update 2/10 - for those who are having a problem starting chapter 5, please note that this is an area where items must be combined - the 3 dots on the reel, the tape onto the spool, etc. after that, proceed to the chapter. Hope this helps. Update 2\6 I would like to read the developer’s response. Please post in English. I really enjoyed this game with mazes and the usual MadHead quirkiness of gameplay. It is quite lengthy including the bonus chapter. It involves playing through several movie reels to free the ghosts from their entrapment. It also has collectibles which can be difficult to spot but if you miss a few there is a chance to find them in the extras after the compilation of the game. Thanks FF for releasing this game.

I just love indulging in a good-ole spooky, hair-raising movie. Being able to stay home, safe and sound, to watch one is ideal; but feeling like I’m taking part in a captivating cinematic adventure is even better. This game’s a real screamer, and it is enhanced by well-rounded supporting components: mesmerizing plot, authentic characters, eerie scenery, and stimulating gameplay. You play a paranormal investigator who explores an abandoned, decrepit old movie theatre in search of a missing person. The clever idea of jumping into varying film reels, each having its own distinct subplot, helps maintain a refreshing storyline, as does the changing scenery. The environmental designs evoke a brooding atmosphere; the pyrotechnic special effects provide some jump moments, as ghastly apparitions often jump out at you from every angle. MadHead’s characters always exude true-to-life personalities; I usually end up becoming emotionally attached to them. MD’s eccentric gameplay is ubiquitous throughout the adventure, ensnaring me into a creative diversity of entertainment. The inventory is interactive and puzzle-like. The HOSs are creatively executed, as such with the one in which you find a floating object in accordance with a pair of clues in a book; then you get snippets of the backstory. The puzzles are simple and brief and suit your objectives. You do need to carefully observe the scenes to find the well-camouflaged collectibles. Gameplay is flawless, showcasing the adeptness this developer (FF) is known for. I thank FF for releasing this game to all the dedicated fans of MadHead to keep their legacy running. I rate this game as two thumbs up!
