About the Game

What are you afraid of ?

In Bally Fears, play as Reyes, a teenager accompanied by his two parents : Nerea, his protective mother, and Izan, his neglectful father. Face your father's creation and delve into Reyes' psychology as you uncover what troubles him through a narrative horror experience.

Izan's Warehouse

Explore your father's ill-fated warehouse, a simple place that serves as Izan's office and as storage for his equipment. Interact with your surroundings to find useful items and information about the things around you.

Carry out simple tasks for your father : receive deliveries, organize boxes... But beware of what lurks nearby during your errands. Lockers may provide good hiding spots. What kind of child were you ? The one who obeyed, or the one who dared to challenge authority ? Will you regret the consequences of your choices ?
