True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3

About True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3

True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3 is the last chapter of the True Fear trilogy, a first-person point-and-click horror mystery by Goblinz, published by The Digital Lounge. It came out on PC and Mac on 21 April 2025, on PlayStation 4 in February 2026, on Nintendo Switch on 16 February 2026 and on Xbox One and Series X|S on 30 April 2026. It follows straight on from Part 2, so play the first two parts before it.

After her childhood home and the Dark Falls Asylum, Holly wakes in her own house, unsure how much of what came before really happened. Her search soon leads back to the asylum and further into Dark Falls, to the high school the sisters attended and the apartment block where they lived with their mother. Letters, photographs, reports and long-hidden evidence fill in a story she has spent her life trying to understand, and short flashback sequences let you see events through other characters' eyes.

The play is the series' own: click through hand-painted still scenes, pick up a steady stream of items and use them, often back in places you have already been, and solve close-up logic puzzles. The store counts 119 locations, 237 close-up scenes and 72 puzzles, among them a letter-key lock, a safe dial and pipe and gear machines. A rechargeable hint, a map with fast travel that marks unsolved puzzles, and a skip button for each puzzle can be set in the difficulty menu or turned off.

The horror is eerie more than brutal: lights going out one by one behind Holly, sighs and moans off screen, shapes that appear as lights flicker, a few jump scares, and grim details in the art, such as a skeleton on a tiled floor. Adventure Game Hotspot's reviewer found it enjoyably creepy without ever feeling threatening, and the story leans on trauma and memory, leaving room to wonder whether what Holly sees is supernatural or in her mind.

It is for players who finished the first two parts and want the answers, and for anyone who likes long, puzzle-heavy horror mysteries without combat.

How to play True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3

1. Play Parts 1 and 2 first, then get Part 3 on Steam, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch or your phone's store.
2. Click around each scene to search it and pick up items.
3. Read the letters, photographs and reports you find; the journal keeps them.
4. Use items on the scene and solve the close-up puzzles.
5. Move between the locations, using the map to travel, and fit the clues together to follow Holly's trail.

Tips

• Keep an eye on the journal: it collects codes and clues you will need later.
• If a puzzle stops you, the hint recharges over time, and the difficulty menu can speed it up or add a skip button to each puzzle.
• Check the map when you are stuck: it shows where unsolved puzzles remain.
• Revisit earlier scenes after you pick up a new item; many objects are used far from where they are found.
• Hunt for the hidden figurines and open the bonus material if you want the story's background.
