Enigma of Fear offers strong value for its price, combining a rich narrative, challenging puzzles, and an atmospheric world. It may not be the longest game, but its depth and replayability make it worthwhile. The graphics and sound design are notable for their creativity, with a striking mix of 2D and 3D visuals and an atmospheric soundtrack that draws you deeper into the game's world.

Enigma of Fear not only delivers on what it promises, but also exceeds expectations in many aspects. The puzzles are exceptional, offering a level of challenge that is rare in current games, which often opt for more simplified experiences. Despite the limitations in combat and the limited variety of enemies, the game makes up for it with memorable and challenging boss battles, as well as a captivating narrative and an immersive setting.

Since starting Enigma of Fear, I just haven’t put it down. The levels are well designed, back-tracking does become annoying, but with the amount of fun I had, it’s easily forgiven. I love the puzzles in the game that really challenged me, such as the statues. Lupi is adorable, and the cast is great. Although I’m not a huge fan of Agatha’s voice. The music fits the scene and really helps set the tone. The game is just so interesting and captivating. Enigma of Fear is going into my replay pile, right with Crow Country. Gameplay is fun and engaging, but I do wish there were less notes. I understand developers use them for world building, but I wish they would try other ways. Such as videos or just another cinematic. I appreciate this is more a pet peeve of mine with games in general rather than just this one though. The teams at Dumativa, and Cellbit achieved something great here. Now, honestly, the only thing mystery I have is, why isn’t anyone playing or talking about Enigma of Fear more? Enigma of Fear is fully deserving of the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.

With the help of fans and a laudable work and dedication, Dumativa's developers alongside Cellbit managed to create not only a game that does justice to Ordem Paranormal's Universe, but also does it as a big project in the Brazilian industry.
