Games Like IAFT Fear Diagnosis

A test site built from your fears, and only yours

The Institute for Applied Fear Technology studies human fear. You are its newest test subject, and your first task is the Fear Diagnosis.

Heights, tight spaces, darkness, ghosts, bugs, dolls, being in the spotlight, and everyday horrors like work and paperwork. Based on your answers, the Institute builds a test site made just for you, a giant set inside the facility assembled from the fears you can't stand.

Different every time you play

Scary, and a little ridiculous

An attendant with a paper bag over their head guides you with excessive politeness through test sets that are unmistakably handmade. Built with a slightly rough, nostalgic low-poly look.

Leave out the fears you can't handle

This game depicts phobia-related situations such as heights, bugs, confined spaces and trypophobia. You can exclude any fear in the settings. Excluded fears never appear in your stage, even if they top your diagnosis.

From the developer

I used to avoid horror without ever giving it a chance, until a friend recommended a mockumentary novel. After that I fell for the genre completely, from horror games to horror films.

What scares people isn't only ghosts and the supernatural. Heights, tight spaces, things we can't even explain why we fear. I wanted to pack that huge variety of fears, and the many ways horror can express them, into a single experience, so I made this game.

Please answer the diagnosis honestly, and enjoy fears made just for you.
