As you wander alone through a twisted maze of madness, horror and fear are your only companions. You're horrified, bewildered, frightened and disoriented with no understanding of your purpose in this place.

Your initial instinct is to question your sanity, pondering whether you are deceased or trapped in some sort of hell.

Regardless, the environment is terrifying; you hear unnerving horrifying whispers encircling you, and your footsteps reverberate against the walls of the atrocious prison that entombs you.

All you have with yourself is a crayon and a flashlight, which only adds to the absurdity of the situation. Who would leave you like this, terrified and alone in this scary place with only these meager tools to comfort you?

For what seems like an eternity, you attempt to acclimate to the surroundings of the dungeon you find yourself trapped in, but the creepy and sinister atmosphere leaves you quivering with horror.

You can't shake the feeling that you are being watched, and every time you think you see or hear something, you are horrified and assume it must be your own angst-ridden imagination running wild.

Your first encounter with the nightmarish creature, a horrid abomination that haunts the dungeon, sends you fleeing in terror. Panic sets in, and your only thoughts are survival and escape at all costs. You sprint away as if pursued by Satan himself.

As you cower in a small alcove, trembling with bone-deep anxiety, you hear the monster's labored breathing as it sluggishly stalks through the darkness. Right next to you, its glowing red eyes pierce through the gloom, searching for you, eager for your flesh and, you’re sure of that, for your soul.

At that instant, you understand the true meaning of horror and dread, of being haunted and hunted.

Hours pass, and you're still horrified and scared by your encounter with the creature, when you stumble upon a map of the labyrinth and are shocked to see your current position being updated on this piece of paper. You can't believe it - is it magic or did madness finally get the better of you?

You desperately want this nightmare to end. Armed with the map, you methodically explore the scary twisting corridors and try to unravel the mysteries of the maze.

Sometimes you stumble upon strange devices and even stranger things, like dolls, masks and other abhorrent oddities your unnerved mind cannot really come to terms with.

Though fear and terror grip you at every turn, you refuse to surrender to the monstrous abomination that lurks in the shadows. You're strong, and you will hold back the madness that seeks to compel you to surrender yourself to the ghastly monster that calls this creepy and dreadful dungeon its home. You won't submit to this terrifying demon.

You'll survive, no matter the cost.

Garden of Fear is a survival horror game designed for players aged 16 and above. It's not for the faint of heart, so if you are scared easily, it might not be for you.

For maximum immersion it's recommended to play the game alone, in the dark, with headphones on.

The objective of the game is to complete all nine missions on both of the two difficulty settings and finally face the monster to escape the dreaded gardens.

The nine missions are named as follows:

Stoic Selma
Hannes the Milker
Crazy Beppo
Many-Faced Masks of Madness
Souls of the Horned Ones
Torsos of Ripening Flesh
Butzi's Junk Box
Barbara's Books of Butchery
Escape the Maze

To achieve this, the player must fight bizarre infant abominations and avoid being detected by the big monster. Other items found throughout the game will aid the player's progress.

Rewarded videos are available for optional viewing. Watching them will either resurrect the player or offer advantages before entering the labyrinth.
