Fear Equation has just hit version 1.4.0! This update marks the arrival of our third Nightmare Pack, which includes five new fears to tackle.
Here's a taste of the terrors included:
- Hunchback: A monster, a victim, a child. He just wants to play...
- Void: There's nothing here but the distant stars you'll never reach
- Demons: The Devil's minions climb up from Hell to drag you down
- Creatures: Perhaps the Void isn't empty after all
- Beast: The fog lingers with those who have encountered the Beast
Details for previous Nightmare Packs are available on our forums.
