The story is about a ghost haunting an abandoned motel in Kansas. Before you came to your destination, you had a nightmare that you've been chase by scarecrow and little girl ghost . Then, you wake up and your bus get accident because of crows.

Well Fright is a great game create by Lesta Studio - Nightmare Realm series.

Storyline : SPOILER ALERT!
The story is about a ghost haunting an abandoned motel in Kansas. Before you came to your destination, you had a nightmare that you've been chase by scarecrow and little girl ghost . Then, you wake up and your bus get accident because of crows.

Gameplay
The game has few HOS and most of them are super interactive ! [great isn't it?]
The puzzle is easy and sometime challenging but they all are creative!
There are camera as your journal , map , inventory lock , hint and guide.
The game's character are real life actor and they are expert.
full voice over!
There are 4 game modes to enjoy - easy,expert,advance,customs.
You have to find 34 dollar bill in the main game to buy mini - games at gift shop.

The Gift shop contain scarecrow dress-up , jigsaw puzzle , replayable HOS and puzzle, The making of and cutscenes, and Extras from CE.
The game get cree when you encounter the old women but not so creepy when you compare to True Fear Forsaken Soul.

CE includes
Collectibles dollar bill
Strategy guide [ not sure how many chapters]
concept arts, wallpapers, music, and bonus chapter.

Option menu
there are adjustable sound , music , environment volume.
mouse cursor , aspect ratio and full screen.

Well it's hard to tell you that the game feels short for me but i've finish the game in 3-4 hours . The game should deliver more scary and creepy elements to make the game even better but the gameplay is super - fun because it's more to adventure than HOGS. Hope you all try the game than review the game just the way you are :P
P/S - sorry for my bad English . Show less

I recommend this game!

BASED ON DEMO

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
This one is very good. A classic in the making, it is different and it is scary. Not in the flash ways some games are, but in a down to earth, dead in the dust kind of way.

BASED ON DEMO

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
This one is very good. A classic in the making, it is different and it is scary. Not in the flash ways some games are, but in a down to earth, dead in the dust kind of way. From the introductory cut scenes, which at first seem a bit rough, the game has a style all its own. Well, among games. There is at least one movie like it – the creepiest movie I’ve ever seen!

SIGHTS & SOUNDS
The opening scenes are indeed very reminiscent of “Children Of The Corn”, an intense horror/thriller, that forever transformed innocent corn fields into places of ritual terror – at least for me. This game could be located in the same town! It is so eerie, broad daylight, with the sun baking down on the fields, yet it feels so lonely and dangerous. The graphics are brutally accurate, but with such style, I even find myself admiring the rust.

The actors are well integrated into scenes, and all speak well, but the lip sync is much better for some than others. The old lady is particularly difficult to watch. Eerie sounds compound the general tension and anxious anticipation. It seems, in every minute, that something bad is coming. The music is a little too repetitive, but fits the mood perfectly. Special effects add shock value.

Though I enjoyed them, the many cut scenes cannot be entirely skipped, which I know will bother some people.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?
We open with a view of being trapped in a corn field, desperately trying to escape, and finding new horrors at every turn. Then we are startled awake to find ourselves on a bus which is in fact passing through corn fields. Which start showing eerie déjà vu images of your nightmare. Then, oh no! The bus driver loses control, and we crash, finding ourselves stranded, and the bus driver badly injured, in a ditch, a couple of miles from a motel.

We traipse off to find help for the bus driver, and come to a very sinister looking motel with a very unhelpful owner. We see another vehicle driven off the road. We rescue the passengers, and there’s another car whose driver needs help! This deserted town and its motel are in for a drastic increase in the population! But what are we all doing here? And who is the girl on the roof? And in the mirror?

GAMEPLAY
I like the quirky gameplay. The HOPs are progressive word lists, where you are given several actions to complete as well as items to find. It is a ‘find and use’ system. There are 2 HOPs in the demo, and entry into them is very different from the norm. In the first, a photograph draws us into the scene it depicts, and in the second, we are drawn into a ghostly TV. I like that these HOPs are also telling us the back story, giving them a relevance to even those who prefer the puzzles.

We collect photo shots of these scenes as part of our album, and once completed, become replayable HOPs in the extras section. Mini-games too. The photo album, records the story just like a journal, though it does so with snapshots and photos of the HOPs which act as visual reminders of the story as it progresses. Even the interactive jump map has a pile of photos that are shuffled through to the relevant one for teleporting.

There are not a lot of puzzles, and I must admit I skipped some of those, but they weren’t excessively hard, just a bit tougher than my patience allowed today. A lot of the game is pursuing single goals with dedication, like getting help for the bus driver, and making up a healing potion. There are 3 levels of difficulty, plus a custom mode. Hint is directional.

CE BLING!
CE extras in this game are so well presented, I am buying the CE on that reason alone (not that it isn’t CE-worthy anyway). They are all accessed via the motel Gift Shop. Inside, we find other mini-games to play, including a jigsaw, and dress-up the scarecrow, and one I’m not sure of. You need to have money to play these games, so you must gather the 34 collectible $1 bills. The usual gallery items, wallpapers, concept art, music are accessed through a door at the back of the store, and again, are presented in a unique way. I loved it! The Strategy Guide is in the journal/photo album, and is perhaps the best I’ve seen.

COMBINED IMPACT
This game, for me, is easily as creepy as True Fear or Shiver games, perhaps only because it reminds me of one of the few movies ever to totally freak me out. Perhaps the production values are not quite of the same calibre as these other excellent games, but then, it’s not all about the flash, especially in the case of the dark and eerie games. This one is professional, original and startling at times. Works for me! Show less

I recommend this game!

I have hundreds of games in my collection. I have been playing nonstop since 2009 (and I'm disabled....this is ALL I do.) I BOUGHT THE COLL ED AND PLAYED ENTIRE GAME. I don't review games often, only if they are Perfect or just the opposite.

Everything works. Everything, the graphics, the voice overs the acting, the story, the things you get in the collectors ed. The ONLY thing that would have PERFECTED this game is a SCREENSAVER. And, an "animal helper", such as the homeonwers dog would have been wise.We don't care to get music tracks, or concept art.
The first time Ive ever seen over 20 videos of "the making of" in the COLLECT ED. Wow, that was so fun seeing how you made the game and makes the Colle Ed. worth it.

I loved how they had you collect money to use in the CE "gift shop". These designers actually figured out how to have you feel like a voyer, via the smaller visual frames, you could look through a window in a house and see the characters inside...or into a room and see whats going on... it was the most clever thing I've ever seen in a game.

DEVELOPERS AT LESTA..... HATS OFF. If only all the developers used your actors and graphics and BRAINS!! WELL DONE!! Only a couple of games equal the quality of this... 1. Mysteries of the mind:Coma,& Reincarnations series THE MINIGAMES REALLY ARE REPLAYABLE AND FUN, COLLECTERS EDITION IS WORTH THE MONEY!! Show less

I cannot believe this game! so good how do I start? The story is riveting and is indeed scary. the best use of live actors I have seen yet. They really add to the realistic feel of this game. Gameplay is inventive and so well done it glides you through it. All of the usual things we find in these games amped up and redesigned for fun and effect. The game takes place in Kansas and moves from the late 50s on. It seems every year during the corn harvest people start to go missing, every year the same. Why and who is going to stop it? In the demo alone we saw a sweet gentle bus driver have an accident that eventually led to...oh I cannot spoil it... other than to say it was a very unexpected event. A woman and her baby come to the hotel, and old lady, the weird hotel manager and us. All at this crazy hotel talking and interacting. It is fun and clever and the best game so far this year. You have to give it a try. Other reviews can give you the stats. I just want to get back to the game. Show less

Thank-you Lesta for such an amazingly, highly addictive, engrossing game!
For me, I think this game is more desirable played late at night preferably with an up and coming thunderstorm!
Two Thumbs Up And Highly Recommend This Game!

I Just finished playing Fright and let me say I Loved it! This is the most innovative and creative use of video, interactive graphics and CGI that I have ever seen in a hidden object game. The story is compelling, the puzzles are unique and they actually extend the narrative of the game , not just find this thing put it here blah blah. Everything had a reason and every puzzle, or hidden object scene actually filled you in little by little with what had happened. They perfectly moved the story a long! A lot of thought went into the making of this game.
At first I didn't think I was going to like the live actors but I really really enjoyed them. They weren't the best actors but they weren't bad either. Having them in the game made it feel a lot more like I was actually in the game with them. It truly enhanced the game for me. The music changed throughout and it was all perfect for each scene.
This has to be one of the best games I've ever played due to all the factors listed above, plus I really enjoyed the story and the different characters. I wish they would make a sequel!!
I experienced zero problems/glitches playing this game. If you had problems with it I suggest you replay it now that the devs. fixed all of the glitches. It's worth playing a second time! Show less

I recommend this game!

It was pure fun for me I did not get bored once. NO running around even if the mini games were easy I loved them and that this is the most different game I have played for a long time. There were some glitches for me character voices went out soon after the start and at the end in the bonus part I bought all of the jigsaw extras and the last few didn't match up right and one I was even missing a piece! I bet a patch will be out soon for that but would not stop me from loving this game and replaying often based on being different and on creativity alone! Try for yourself! :) Show less

Wow, what a change from recent offerings! No fairy tales or cute animals here, just a creepy story that you really feel you are a part of!

OK, it wasn't perfect:
* Cut scenes were dreadfully slow
* Interaction with characters (real people which made it even creepier) were dreadfully slow, sometimes badly synched and sometimes no sound at all after the first lines.
* Set in an (apparently) abandoned hotel so everything was dirty. Kept wanting to go and wash my hands!
* Some of the story threads are a bit clunky and contrived

However, once the story gets going, you are drawn into this mystery and the ways of giving you the background information are quite unique.

HOSs (I only found 2 in the demo) are totally interactive and really quite challenging

Puzzles are tricky at times. One coming up (I haven't found the missing pieces yet) involves identifying Western US States. What? How is a Brit supposed to do that?

4 modes available including custom

A map, though not jumpable.

CE extras are:
* Music/Picture/Art work/bonus chapter
* Dollar bills to collect and spend in a gift shop

This, for me is a buy as an SE.

But I highly recommend you try it! (WITH THE LIGHTS ON!) Show less
