Thanatophobia is an old-school, third person survival horror game that goes back to the roots of the genre. A thought-provoking journey into darkness and depravity, the game has a focus on puzzle solving and storytelling over intense action...

The case, which involves the gruesome kidnapping and murder of a number of young girls, has left a significant emotional toll on the old detective. He is obsessed by the case as The Bear has ruined his own life and he will stop at nothing to get revenge, but he is running short on leads and hope.

But Sam cannot resist investigating. Little does he know, everything is about to change…
