Jeu très sympa. L'atmosphère est géniale.
the photo style is detailed and realistic, the atmosphere is actually well done. the game is also quite short which limits the experience. but there are 3 endings and don’t let the screenshots fool you it’s not gory or scary.. more creepiness to make you feel uneasy but not enough to traumatize.
7.5/10
What an idiotic idea!

really helped me to practice and learn some new things
!!!TRIGGER WARNING!!!
This is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up game. It introduces you to "The Fan", a stalker and murderer. It opens with a news article and drops you into his stalker lair. I assumed I was a detective at first, solving the murder but no, YOU ARE THE FAN. The game is an 'FMV' but with no video and only still photos. You move around by clicking arrows and observe in detail detailed in how the murderer thinks and acts, down to feeding and abusing the victim. I felt uncomfortable until the end. The framing may be some psychological horror or social commentary, but the lack of distance makes it feel gross rather than thoughtful. It plays like some perverted murder fantasy. I got this in a bundle and did not purchase it directly. Had I known what it was going in I'd have skipped it entirely. It took me 30 minutes to beat. Any extra time was to just get the trading cards. AVOID, unless you're some sick freak.
my favorite part is kidnapping and causing mental and physical harm to a french person. but otherwise actually really liked it
short, boring and i got RickRolled
At the first time i saw this i thought that this "game" was just another one like PRESS X TO NOT DIE or something like it but i just got impressed. The fact that everything in this experience are based on photos and reading the story by journals just has made me feel inside the kidnapper`s POV.
At the start i actually read the whole evidence board thinking like: " This guy might the terrific" thinking that i was any kind of detective. But once i figured out that i was the actual guy i had goosebumps for a long time. Even when i finished i was in completly shocked by the whole story and the scenes. For me, living this kind of experience by myself was amazing ❤️
PLEASE MAKE MORE AND BETTER GAMES LIKE THIS
Personal score: 9/10 ( i got scared a few times playing this lol )
seila é um point cliker meio bizarro. serio muito bizarro bom se quiser jogar joga o bom é que o n tem nada de errado. exeto...... sangue
Este juego tiene una propuesta corta y muy bien lograda, te lo puedes pasar en 1 h o quizás menos, totalmente recomendado para pasar un momento de suspenso e incertidumbre sobre la historia que te tratan de trasmitir vía imágenes. 10/10
реверс хоррор по сути.
напомнило feed me billy от паппет комбо, но она более тревожная, хоть здесь и присутствуют реальные футажи с реальными актерами.
тем не менее неплохая штука на один раз
норм
Jogo bizarro.

Вспомнил, как в молодости постоянно был в окружении тянок, весь позитивный и т.д. Ceкс вообще изи было получить. Это было до 21 года, потом случился кое-какой личный кризис, и я выпал из жизни. За это время состриг волосы, поднабрал массы и мышц, стал кабанчиком с бизнесом и все такое (28 сейчас). И вот помню в 25 я подумал, что хочу как раньше: кошка-жена, ceкс и тусы.
И тут встречаю эту игру, сразу окунулся в молодость, эх... золотые деньки были.

Короткий инди проект, который берет тем что ты играешь за серийного убийцу. Если тебе надоели игры для девочек то по скидке можно приобрести. Короче очередная игра для всей семьи.
A short indie project that takes you by the fact that you play as a serial killer. If you are tired of games for girls, you can buy it at a discount. In short, another game for the whole family.
The Fan, developed by Ezhaac Studio and published by Plug In Digital, is a dark, atmospheric, and deeply unsettling psychological thriller that approaches interactive storytelling in an unconventional way. Rather than relying on animated environments or traditional 3D graphics, the game immerses players in a disturbing narrative through the use of real photographs and live-action elements. This photo-fiction approach gives the game a unique visual tone that feels unnervingly grounded, making every scene, object, and character interaction feel all the more real. From the first moment, you are placed in the mind and perspective of a disturbed individual—known only as “The Fan”—who has abducted a woman and trapped her in his basement. It is a short, intense experience that lingers far longer than its modest runtime might suggest.
Gameplay in The Fan is relatively minimalistic, borrowing heavily from point-and-click mechanics while emphasizing narrative immersion over traditional puzzle-solving. You explore a confined space, mostly limited to a handful of rooms, and interact with objects that gradually reveal the twisted psyche of the protagonist. Each interaction with the environment builds tension, and your choices affect how the story unfolds. There are multiple endings, which encourages replayability, but the game isn't driven by complexity—it's driven by mood and subtext. Clicking on emails, flipping light switches, or examining personal items tells you more about the character than long monologues or exposition ever could. The still-image format might sound limiting at first, but in execution, it becomes one of the game’s greatest strengths. The stark realism of photographed environments creates an uncanny stillness that feels more disturbing than any animation could.
One of the most compelling elements of The Fan is its atmosphere. The setting—a cold, cluttered, dimly lit basement—feels oppressive. The realism of the photographs adds a voyeuristic discomfort, and the grainy lighting enhances the sense that you’re watching something you shouldn’t be. The character of the captive, portrayed by actress Claire Hoffmann, is presented not as a caricature or fantasy, but as a real person in a truly horrifying situation. The game carefully avoids sensationalizing her predicament, opting instead for subtle tension and psychological dread. Audio design is equally minimalist and effective, with ambient sounds and eerie silences working together to amplify the unease. There is no music to comfort you, no narration to guide you—just the suffocating quiet of obsession and isolation.
Despite its creative strengths, The Fan is not without flaws. Its brevity is both a blessing and a curse. Most players can experience all its endings in under an hour, which may leave some feeling that it is more of an experimental concept than a fully realized game. Additionally, the interface design can sometimes work against the experience. Interactive objects are often marked too obviously, reducing the sense of discovery and making the progression feel more like going through a checklist than exploring a space. Some players have also noted that the control scheme and UI placement can be unintuitive, especially when trying to interact with specific items. While the game does offer multiple outcomes, they don’t differ drastically enough to fundamentally alter the core narrative, which limits the impact of player agency.
Reception of The Fan has been mixed but generally favorable among players who appreciate atmospheric and narrative-driven experiences. Many positive reviews cite the game’s originality, strong sense of place, and its emotionally unsettling tone as major strengths. Others, particularly fans of traditional point-and-click games or more gameplay-heavy thrillers, found the lack of interactivity and brief runtime disappointing. On Steam, the game holds a majority of positive reviews, but it remains a niche title, best suited for players interested in experimental or art-house storytelling. The themes—obsession, delusion, control—are handled with enough restraint and subtlety to be thought-provoking, even if the game never fully explores them in great detail.
What’s especially impressive about The Fan is that it was largely created by a single developer, Cyril of Ezhaac Studio, who handled nearly all aspects of the game—from the photography and staging to the narrative structure and technical development using Unity. The sheer effort behind this project is evident in the level of detail found in the environments and the deliberate pacing of the narrative. Even if the game doesn't satisfy all expectations of what a thriller game should be, it succeeds as a passion project with a unique artistic vision.
Ultimately, The Fan is a moody, disturbing, and creative piece of interactive fiction that challenges the boundaries between photography, film, and video games. It’s not designed for everyone—those looking for traditional gameplay loops or extended campaigns will likely be disappointed—but for players who value atmosphere, storytelling, and psychological tension, it offers something rare and compelling. Its greatest strength lies in how it uses silence, space, and realism to convey dread, making it a haunting experience despite its simplicity. It may not be perfect, but it is undeniably memorable.
Rating: 6/10
There are better apps to watch boring pictures.
É um jogo point and click que serve bem para passar o tempo. É curto, mas traz algumas referências legais caso for explorar. Visualmente, o jogo é bonito pelas imagens, embora a história não seja das melhores mas á trilha sonora também é legal. Consegui fazer dois finais (não sei se existem três). No fim, acabei enjoando, mesmo já sabendo onde os itens estavam, para quem gosta do gênero stalker vai curtir.
top
O jogo literalmente avisa que é visual e de apontar e clicar, então quem reclamou disso apenas não leu o que estava comprando. É um bom jogo, com muitos detalhes pra gente ir observando, percebendo, lendo... Tudo na perspectiva do stalker, quase aquela série famosa da Netflix!! kkk (You). Tem uma trilha sonora boa e é bem artístico, e só vai ser rápido como falaram se você sair clicando na pressa sem prestar atenção!! É legal, e tem vários finais, pelo visto; pretendo fazer os outros!! :)
Симулятор отношений) ахаххаха
This was a fun little game. Obviously had a lot of work put into it with the sets, makeup, props, and so on. It's definitely short, I got it on a sale. Finding the [spoiler] Rickroll [/spoiler] was a good time as well if not a little jarring XD
玩法挺无聊的 就是点点点 找到一些线索 没有提示 无趣 不推荐
I loved this game. You play as the stalker/kidnapper/killer and has 3 endings. It's pretty short though, took me about 2 hours to finish, but I did take my sweet ass time checking and reading everything very carefully. I found a couple things that could have been done better, but honestly, overall is very good and I enjoyed it A LOT.
I hope they make more games like this!

jogo de investigação bem massa , super recomendo
Nota 9/10
Das Spiel bietet keinerlei Story. Man spielt einen psychisch gestörten Serienkiller, der Frauen stalkt um sie dann später zu in seinem Keller zu ermorden. Es gibt keinerlei Hintergründe wieso, weshalb, warum. Stattdessen startet man das Spiel und findet sich in seinem Keller wieder. Dort begutachtet man seine gesammelten Sachen von seinem neuen Opfer, während das gefesselt eine Tür weiter sitzt. Im weiteren Verlauf des Spiels muss man die Wohnung des Opfers durchsuchen sowie die von ihrem Freund, während der in seinem Bett schläft.
Für welches Ende man sich nachher entscheidet ist auch egal, da es so oder so die Opfer verhöhnt. Neben der fehlenden Story fehlt es dem Spiel an Selbstreflektion. Auch wenn die Intention der Entwickler eine andere sein mag, wurde hier das Ziel verfehlt.
Das Geld kann man sich sparen, vorallem weil es spielerisch auch nicht besonders gut ist.
Spendet lieber das gesparte Geld an eine Organisation die Frauen hilft, welche diese Art von Gewalt erleben musste.
Lovely Game for real hunters. 9/10

"OKAY at best, CREEPY as hell at worst."
You play as an obsessive stalker who kidnaps a woman, possibly kills her boyfriend (which changes nothing major), and then forces a weird dinner date like that’ll fix anything. The game locks you into one of three predictable but unsettling endings:
You get stabbed with your own weapon for letting her go.
You strangle her to death with her own scarf, because apparently, obsession = murder.
You take a WWE chair shot to the skull for being a lunatic.
Sounds twisted, right? It is. But once you crack the pattern, the thrill fades fast. The horror atmosphere is solid, but the "choices" feel more like three doors to the same messed-up basement.
Final verdict? Worth playing? Sure. But wait for a discount.
Moral of the story? Find someone who matches your brand of crazy instead of kidnapping strangers. Trust me, they exist. No need to go full psycho—see: Demon/Angel relationships.
And before anyone says "Well, you're just not unhinged enough to get it," trust me—I’m out here in Like a Dragon: Pirate in Hawaii, shirt open, chest exposed, posing in front of monkeys while they’re throwing coconuts at me, and taking pictures of luchadors in speedos like it’s a game of Pokémon Snap. I know what unhinged looks like, folks, and this ain’t it.
Get this game on a deep sale to support your indies, but after playing it? Forget it.

I suppose if you've ever been killed by a serial killer you'll find it scary. Realistically would have finished this in less than 30 minutes if I had not spent most of my time looking for a present box.
SERIAL KILLER MYST IT'S REALLY KIND OF NEAT CAW CAW.

The Fan is a point-and-click thriller-horror game that captivates with its unsettling atmosphere. The story revolves around a stalker-serial killer, and the player spends several days witnessing events through his eyes.
The main feature of The Fan is its visual style. All scenes in the game are created using real photographs, which enhances the sense of realism and immersion. Every frame feels like a masterpiece worth capturing - the visual work is top-notch.
The game lacks dialogues, and all storytelling is conveyed through atmosphere, visual details, and interactions with objects. Some parts of the story can only be discovered through newspaper clippings, which adds an extra layer of mystery but also leaves gaps in the narrative.
Gameplay is straightforward with no complex puzzles or challenges. Players simply need to find specific items to progress, which might disappoint those expecting deeper and more interactive mechanics.
The game is short, but there are multiple endings. However, there are no achievements, so there's not much desire to go through all the endings.
Overall, the game’s setting is impressive, and it had great potential, but unfortunately, it was not fully realized. I bought it during the sale and don’t regret it.
Follow my Curator : [url=store.steampowered.com/curator/44793303-The-games-that-I%2527ve-played/] The games that i`ve played [/url]⠀
It's a very short game, not really good either, there's no real gameplay, no real story / plot development,
other than 2 or 3 choices which also lead to 3 different ends, I only had 1, imagine they aren't that different from each other, the replayability beyond the 1 hour mark is very low, there are no achievements either,
I got it for under 1$ thankfully, or else I would have refunded it, wouldn't spend more than 1$ on this, if even that. Would also not classify it as a FMV genre game, as there are no video sequences, only still pictures which make the background. There's not much horror either. Can't recommend, the world after is at least a little bit better, if you want to play a FMV game from France, I just played it for 30 minutes and already liked it more than this one after 1 hour. This is more of a mix between a Visual Novel and a (un-)hidden objects game with no real sense of purpose to it.
Jogo bacana, uma história interessante e que te prende. Pra ser sincero? Se você ir focando bastante no que o jogo tem a oferecer, o tempo passa que você nem percebe, muito bom!
4시간 걸린건 플레이타임+카드파밍시간
사실상 플레이타임은 이것저것 다해서 약 30분정도
그것도 엔딩하나 보고 나서 2회차로 다른엔딩까지본거
분위기는 오지게 잡는데 내용은 그리 많지도않고
뭔가 퍼즐이있는것도아니고 따로 동작같은것도 잇는게아니라 그냥 엄청 관찰관찰에 물건찾기뿐
다클리어하고나서 지금 엔딩까지 직행하면 한 3~5분
근데 다중선택지엔딩이면 제발 세이브를 내놓으라고
똑같은것도 한두번이지 여러번반복하면 지겹기만할뿐이라고
현재 85퍼세일해서 970원인데 딱 그가격 이상으로 올라가면 비추천
For what it is, it's good. But what there is, isn't a lot. You get a whim of the backstory. If you click on everything, you understand it all pretty quick, which is good. You click through all the possible scenarios in an hour and you're done. If you can get it dirt cheap, like I did, it's worth it!
A unique game of its kind!
The only reproach I could make him is not going far enough ...
We absolutely need another episode, there is real potential there!
-------------------------------
Un jeu unique en son genre !
Le seul reproche que je pourrais lui faire, c'est de ne pas aller assez loin...
Il nous faut un autre épisode absolument, il y a un vrai potentiel là !
3,5/10
Original little morbid indie horror game, where you play as the serial killer. The game takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete on your first playthrough, and then after that you can get through the game in about 15 minutes. There are 3 endings. The game is not that gory or scary, it is not as violent as the screenshots suggest.
+ The graphics are photorealistic, literally, the game environments are real locations.
+ The story is simple yet interesting.
+ Very immersive, the game would is well put together. Lots of time was put into decorating the rooms.
+ Fun little cameos of video game characters, and on one instance you can even get Rick Rolled.
+ Game feels original, new and fresh design.
+ Music and sound effects are simple yet fit the mood, serviceable.
- Game is short, wish it was longer, sequel?
- One item is hard to find and might have you running around in circles for awhile, try looking up!
Overall 7.5/10
"If I was a serial killer, they would find all my victims heads, In funky-ass gas station toilets, and if I was a serial killer, I would be strange and deranged, and I would never change" - Violent J from the song If I was a serial killer..
The world has long been intrigued by serial killers,, from the police officers who attempt to catch them, to the press that loves to give them funky names and make them larger then life, to the females that write too and ultimately marry them.. Lots of them have become larger then life and well known.. Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Samuel Little even Richard Ramirez.. Documentaries on Netflix, hour long specials on the ID channel, movies and television shows, America is hooked on serial killers, but what about the victims. Well in most cases people ignore them, give them little recognition and instead choose to focus on the killer..
This game touches on serial killers a bit, you play as a deranged killer whose identity remains a secret, but the press has given the nickname "the fan". You're newest victim is restrained in a chair and ready for you to begin doing what you do.
Gameplay - the game plays out using a mixture of videos and photos. It's a point and click game that has you explore a few smaller areas and collect a few hidden items before moving onto the next area..
Pros -
Decent concept,
Looks and plays exceptionally well
Claims multiple endings but I only saw one
Trading cards and Point shop items.. very nice
Cons -
Very short, I have 5 hours played but like 4 1/2 were farming cards
needed more content to justify the 5.99 price tag
No Achievements makes me a sad Panda
Recommendation -
For 5.99 it's difficult to recommend a game which will last under an hour.. While the game certainly has some merits and it's a really interesting concept that I think more developers should explore (playing as the bad guy). The content that was provided is interesting and unique, but with it being so short and lacking the bells and whistles.. Far better games exist for the price point.. With that said if you can find the game for under 3 dollars it might be worth a play just because of how unique the concept is.. it's also hurt by the fact it doesn't have achievements, it's 2024, not having achievements is almost inexcusable at this point.
I got away with it.
Pretty.
Bad. Cannot recommend.
The game is very short indeed, as all the other reviews say, but it has a good atmosphere, which I think in many ways is harder to achieve with real photos than drawn art. The devs obviously put a lot of work into it, which I can appreciate. It's disappointing that there's no dialogue (listing the game as having full audio in English and French is rather deceptive), but it was still interesting to play through.
Bad graphics, not funny at all
⭐⭐⭐
The mixed score seems very unfair to me because there's a big warning about the length of the game on its own page... solid evidence that most Steam users can't read (insert facepalm meme here). Anyway, the photography does a great job at providing a dark, unsettling atmosphere and so does the soundtrack. By the way, this may look like an FMV but it's not: it's a point and click game made with photos, there are no videos here. Still, for less than $1 I'd say it's totally worth it.
💋
kind of just a pointless "game", if that is what you wanna call it. Feels unfinished. Redundant. There's no story.
Avventura grafica fantastica, semplice e corta. Il setting è bellissimo, tant'è che mi ha fatto comprare, giocare e finire la mia prima avventura grafica (tutte quelle che avevo giocato da bambino le avevo mollate subito dopo).
Apprezzerei moltissimo un nuovo capitolo
"The Fan" is a sufficiently short Point & Click game created entirely by using a real photos instead of computer graphic. It's a pretty dark and thrilling horror experience which goes deeply down into the '' darkest places of Paris underground ''. So make your self prepared before starting it...
I have no idea why this is in my library. I played through twice to see what happened if I did or did not kill someone. Mostly wanted the card drops... Game is very short unless you look at everything, then it is a little longer. I do not recall purchasing it, it just appeared in my library.
I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
感觉我才是被困住的人，跟中了无限月读一样。（另外第三关男人电脑里的mid-life-3里面有官方攻略）
É perturbador, o que pra muitos pode ser ruim, pessoalmente não ligo tanto.
Não recomendo por ser muito curto e não ter muito conteúdo. Não há cartas. nem conquistas para serem feitas... provavelmente nem lembrarei desse jogo em alguns meses de tão esquecível...
Incredibly immersive from start to finish. The visuals and sound design work together flawlessly to push the whole experience into genuinely creepy, even terrifying territory.
I hate to say it but its a poorly writen game with little plot less story and no replay value. 2 out of 10 and thats being generous. That being said if this is there first game than the good news is you can go no where but up from here.
[b]Оценка: 3/5[/b]
[b]Комментарий:[/b] Игра неплохая, но как мне слишком короткая, с другой стороны, цена [spoiler]29 рублей[/spoiler], что тоже довольно приятно для игр такого формата. Есть пару неплохих кадров и сцен, а также много разных отсылок на популярные игры и кино в виде предметов декора. Атмосфера в игре мрачная, но эффект быстро пропадает. [spoiler]В игре всего 3 локации и 3 главных героя.[/spoiler]
[i] Если честно я бы не стал вам её советовать, как полноценную игру, но если вы любите игры с довольно низким бюджетом и киношной атмосферой, то в целом почему нет.
[/i]
Thumb sideways on this one. Very short game but an interesting take on the genre. Only recommended if you buy it on sale.
英文好的可以玩玩
做的还挺有质感的
Es un interesante point and click, donde somos un secuestrador de mujeres. No es recomendable para gente sensible ya que puede ser fuerte representar ese papel.
La banda sonora la verdad no destaca, ya que son todas de libre uso que ya estamos cansados de escuchar en los vídeos de Dross. El punto fuerte es la calidad de las fotos reales y la escenografía aunque es una lastima que no sea 1080p.
Puede ser un poco agobiante en ciertos momentos pero es realmente corto, en una hora lo pueden completar y pueden alargarlo un poco mas si optan por ver todos los finales, creo que son 3.
Es un juego recomendado para pasar el rato, pero esperen a que este de oferta (si sos de Argentina y este juego llega a actualizarse 500% el precio obviamente no lo recomiendo bajo ningún punto de vista pero por 16 pesos va bien).
PD: Es una lastima que no tenga logros, pero tiene cromos, es algo.
This Se7en-knock-off meets-Peeping Tom inspired FMV has some interesting subtextual ideas behind it's mechanics, but, as others have pointed out, the game is INCREDIBLY short (I managed to beat my first run in under an hour), too easy for it to be challenging, and ends abruptly and anticlimactically for it to have any strong impact. A novel concept, admirably put together, just wish more thought went into it.
point click korku demeyelim de gerilim oyunu hikayesi güzel , takıntılı sevgili rolundeyiz ben sevdim bi şans verin
Игра ставит игрока перед сложным выбором: купить эту игру или же не покупать ее. Не уверен что я сделал правильный выбор.
Kifejezetten tetszett ez az interaktív játék, bár kár hogy 1 óra alatt kilehet vinni 2-szer a játékot.
It's a bit sad to see so many negative reviews for this game.
It's very short, yes, but you can feel there was a lot of effort put into it.
The Fan nails the unsettling atmosphere 100% and it's not often you get to play as a serial killer. It's also well optimized and runs smoothly with no issues, so big kudos to the people who worked on it.
I would love some achievements and possibly a few more chapters, but other than that it is pretty solid for such a small team.
I honestly enjoyed the playthrough and would recommend getting it on sale.
This was interesting; less a game, and more an art piece. I was immediately put off by your character, but I always like to experience new ways of thinking, so I stuck with them- but ultimately got little out of the character or endings. I'm not sure what, if anything, the developers had in mind for me to discover in this game. The gameplay isn't that fun, mostly finding objects at the furthest corners of the locations, so I expected this point and click narrative to have some kind of interesting story themes. I spent 10 or so minutes staring at board, deciphering information about a bus kidnapping plan, but then walk into the next room and *spoilers* it turns out you're the killer, and it already happened. :Shrugs: That's the last interesting thing to happen. The rest of the game is just searching for things, and then making two choices. The visuals are good though, and the picture clicking is quiet hypnotic. Buy on a heavy sale, but I wish the developers luck in their next project (hopefully something that refines the fast-paced searching their game's design supports).
Триллер, имевший потенциал для развития интересной истории, но совершенно его не реализовавший.
The Fan - point-and-click квест, в котором игрок становится свидетелем нескольких дней из жизни маньяка-сталкера.
Казалось бы, интересная идея - показать классический триллер/хоррор сюжет, но от лица типичного антагониста подобных произведений, тем самым раскрыв персонажа гораздо глубже, чем это делают большинство коллег по жанру. На деле же, никакой интересной истории, а уж тем более глубины проработанности персонажа, игра, к сожалению, предложить не может.
Действие игры разворачиватеся на протяжении трёх дней, каждый день мы выполняем определённые действия на новой локации, не особо понимая до самого конца, зачем и почему, а потом, в зависимости от принятых решений, смотрим на одну из трёх концовок, длящихся от силы полминуты. Для понимания общей картины происходящего тут и там мы можем читать вырезки из журнальных статей, тем самым получая информацию о действиях героя с точки зрения внешних наблюдателей. Но что насчёт раскрытия мотивов главного героя, оценки его действий с его собственной точки зрения? А ничего подобного в сюжете нет и в помине. Да, мы можем подчеркнуть какие-то крупицы информации о его личности через элементы "повествования через окружение", однако на что-то большее, чем "он коллекционирует вещи своих жертв, потому что он шиз", рассчитывать не стоит. Итого мы получаем бессмысленную историю о бессмысленном насилии - шок контент ради шок контента.
Однако есть и то, за что игру невозможно не похвалить - это непосредственно съёмка и декорации, т.е. графика игры. На полную съёмку всех кадров и их обработку у создателя ушло около полугода, и это явно того стоило: множество отличных, качественных кадров, хорошая постановка всех снимков, хорошая проработка декораций, а над берлогой самого маньяка проделан, на мой взгляд, просто титанический труд - место кажется по-настоящему "живым", полным различных деталей, проработанных до мелочей. Кроме шуток, это, возможно, главная причина поиграть в "Фаната" - повзаимодействовать с интерактивным фотосетом в тематике триллера/хоррора.
Пару слов о геймплее: он не представляет из себя ничего особенного. Каждая глава проходит по одной канве: просыпаемся в логове, отправляемся на локацию, на ней ищем пару предметов, возвращаемся в логово. Все точки интеракции подсвечены, никаких загадок нет, в этом плане всё максимально примитивно.
"Фанат", к сожалению, позиционирует себя не как интерактивный фотосет, а как игру, а в этом отношении ему предложить совершенно нечего. Если всё же захотите попробовать, брать стоит только по скидке.
Very short click and find game. I played and finished the game in only 40 minutes. Nothing more interresting to do. It's a shame, the game and its dark atmosphere were very promising!

Contrairement à ce que le titre du jeu suggère ce n'est pas du tout une histoire de ventilateur. Il n'y en a même pas un seul dedans.
Heureusement que la description nous dit que c'est l'histoire d'un tueur en série car dans le jeu lui-même il n'y a aucun contexte, aucune histoire et aucune explication. Le jeu par lui-même n'est pas ludique : On clique sur des ronds qui apparaissent sur des objets sans savoir pourquoi, et de temps en temps on retourne dans la cave retrouver une femme ligotée, sans qu'il y ait d'interactions, de dialogues ou d'énigmes. Le point positif c'est que pour un simulateur d'ennui c'est assez réussi.
Et pas le moindre ventilateur. Non, vraiment je ne recommande pas.
Les gens qui laissent une review négative sur ce jeu sont en colère parce qu'on y joue un tueur en série qui massacre un couple sans défense... Mais croyez moi, j'ai fait le jeu, si vous aviez VU ce que j'ai VU, vous les auriez tués aussi !
Leur goût en déco sont atroces, elle c'est une hippie qui joue à WoW et lui il est fan de The Witcher... Il FALLAIT en finir.
Wouldn't recommend to buy it outside of a sale, it's not much content. It is however an unique experience and the photo-"playstyle" is kinda neat. Playing as a stalker/serial killer isn't a too common theme either. I also appreciated the popular culture thrown in here and there, like Rick Astley, Bioshock and Piano Cat among other well recognizable items.
There are multiple endings, but I don't really feel like it was interesting enough to pursue them all.
Peut-on réellement noter ça ...? Je respecte le travail accompli, mais l'enchaînement de plans et les repères sont absolument désagréables. Il n'est pas facile de se repérer. L'histoire va très (trop) vite et est vide. Les éléments dispersés n'apportent aucun indice, aucune énigme, juste une ambiance qui se torche illico... Si vous avez une demi-heure à tuer, faites le, pour le principe, mais vous serez déçus de l'avoir plein tarif. Heureusement qu'il vient d'un bundle pour ma part.
The Fan is an extremely short and disturbing FMV title (Full Motion Video), and is the first game released by French developer, Ezhaac Studio. Players take on the role of a serial killer, and regardless of its controversial subject matter, the gameplay and story are neither The Fan’s redeeming elements. It is an awfully virulent experience that WILL be distressing to many, especially victims of abuse. Consider this warning strongly, prior to playing or reading further into this review.

[h1]Story[/h1]
If you have read my introduction, you already have a solid grasp on the narrative, and calling it disturbing, is putting it lightly. The protagonist is a serial killer and rapist duped “The Fan” by media, due to his incessant stalking of female victims for months prior to kidnapping. He photographs the victims, follows, steals personal items and eventually, tortures and murders them. Players are not introduced to any sort of backstory for the murderer and the game greatly misses its chance to delve into the killers depraved mind. Instead, it is a blank slate and there is no indication of why he is doing what he is doing, who the other victims were, why this victim was chosen, and the questions only continue.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2806681475
The killer keeps the bound women in a basement labyrinth while he steals more personal items from her and her fiancé’s apartments. Quoting from the store page, he “abduct[s] women to fulfill his dark fantasies” and that is about as much insight as players will gain. There are direct scenes of physical violence, as well as heavy indication and references to sexual assault. I am not against game developers displaying controversial or frowned upon subject matter in their projects, but at least for me, this title really does teeter on the edge of acceptable, but my goal is for people reading this to be able to form their own opinions.
After the unrelenting clicking sessions, or I suppose…gameplay elements, players are not rewarded with any sense of meaning into what they are doing. Only a short and vague news article with a brief explanation into the latest missing victim, or the killer. This letdown was only further exacerbated by my disappointment when searching through the killers’ den and the apartments. Very little background information can be found, despite numerous hotspots of pointless items to click on. One notebook and an email sums up the useful items I discovered.

[h1]Gameplay[/h1]
The Fan is an interactive point & click game that only uses still images. It is not the typical FMV game with videos of real actors, but this does not make it any less unsettling. Essentially, gameplay can be summed up as a hidden object game (HOG), only, much more twisted than what HOG players are generally accustomed to. There is a small checklist of 3-4 items which players must locate to proceed. Finding these items can be quite obscure as it is all dependent on the exact angle where the character is standing, and if the hotspot can be viewed from this angle. Thus, it is all quite “let’s just click everywhere until the aha moment” type of gameplay. To make matters worse, these items are always in the same spot in subsequent playthroughs. Making alternate runs last approximately five or less minutes to finish the game. There are a total of three choices in each playthrough and each only impact which of the three endings plays. Combining this with the banal HOG scenes results in a less than fun experience.
The large search areas looked appealing at first, as there were many hotspots and places to explore, yet it became tedious and pointless very quickly. I am certain this project must have taken an enormous amount of time to make, and it is a pity for the developer’s first game release to be met with such criticism, but I simply cannot see any redeeming features.
[h1]Visuals & Sound[/h1]
Still photos are the only visual element in The Fan, which definitely make it all the more macabre. The real imagery could be quite a shock for some people to experience and as said previously, there are graphic scenes and references throughout. Being in the lair (where the killer keeps his victims) became quite nauseating for me personally, and not in a positive way.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2806681387
There is very little audio in the game, mainly consisting of the eerie ambient soundtrack playing in the background, but I do not believe the game would be improved if more sounds were added. The still imagery and minimalistic sound worked well to create the decaying atmosphere, which appears to the be developers’ intention.

[h1]Conclusion[/h1]
Whilst I did not expect a polished game with a well-rounded story for the price of $AU8.50, there are too many negatives to name. Most prominently including its tedious gameplay, complete lack of a backstory and deeply disturbing FMV scenes. It appears to be an Indie title hoping to succeed based off shock value alone, due to the depraved themes it encompasses, but fails abysmally in all other aspects.

A short creepy experience from the perspective of a serial killer. There is so much detail in each photo, I can only imagine how long it took to create. You really get a sense of the people involved from what you can see. I'd definitely say this feels more like an experience than a strict game, but regardless of how you'd describe it, it's well put together and interesting to explore.
...
It`s very very short and doesn't have a lot of content in it. I've bought it on sale for 1.19€ which is fine but I wouldn't pay more for it.
Einfach Nein
Just Wasn't My Cup Of Tea. Don't Get me wrong some may like this but I expected more if coming from the side of the bad guy. It Doesn't make you try to like him or any real understanding of him other than the obsession. Nothing I could really connect with. Don't get me wrong I like playing the other side some times but it has to have more understanding of the character and this just didnt have it. Maybe also because of how short it is. I don't know maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it at the time but just didn't feel it.

Comprei pensando que era um daqueles filmes interativos, mas acabou sendo uma visual novel.
É um curta, tu termina em 10-15 minutos tranquilo, podendo aumentar mais o tempo ao explorar os cenários lendo os documentos e etc... Achei bem mais ou menos, tem uma história simples com um gore ok.
4/10

Take on the role of a stalker/kidnapper and take increasingly more risks to fully fill your obsession without generating any motivation or sympathy to the villain played.
I really liked this game. It's different enough that it stands out. The art (photo's) is really good, the music and setting is very creepy and it doesn't outstay it's welcome. The game wouldn't work if it was any longer.
I'm kinda disturbed by the negative reviews based on price. It's up to everyone individually to decide what they want to spend on it and price has no place in a review. Games like these, with no marketing budget and only a couple of ratings really depend on players feedback and giving a negative review based on something arbitrary as price is in very poor taste.
That being said, full disclosure, I personally bought a key for this for 1.25 euro. I had never heard of this game but when I saw that price and that it was an FMV that was enough for me to buy it and that was a bargain. Everyone else can decide for themselves what the game is worth.
Surprisingly good! I wasn't expecting much based on the trailer and the reviews but don't be put off. This is a decent point & click/hidden object game where you play the killer. And on a heavy discount, is well worth your time.
It's disturbing and creepy but isn't gratuitous in its violence. The majority of the 40-50 minutes of gameplay you're stalking about a couple of your victim's apartments, finding a set list of items for an unknown reason. As you explore you find clues which guide you towards certain parts of the house and clues as to how to unlock other areas. The feeling of being this interloper into other's private lives, especially when you realise how awful your character was, was certainly a unique and darkly thrilling experience.
A really short but disturbing game.....
good
Короткая, но проработанная игра !
В целом все выглядит вполне неплохо.
Есть своя атмосфера, можно все осмотреть , "пощупать"
Несколько концовок.
Вообщем 4\5.
Titolo con pochissime pretese: si clicca per il 100% del tempo, si arriva a vedere i tre o quattro finali messi a disposizione dai programmatori e si finisce in un amen. Le poche parti scritte, in inglese, sono comprensibilissime anche a chi come me non mastica la lingua. Ideale per passare una serata, niente di più.
Oh dear. The premise looked so good! A grim FMV game where you hold a woman captive and do evil twisted things (hello, this is why sick puppies play computer games - and not do that stuff in real life).
However, things soon take a turn for the disappointing. The first great piece of news is that even if you select "English" as your chosen language between English and French, all the stuff on the board in the first scene is STILL all in French. Kind of lessens the impact of a game like this when you can barely understand what's in front of you.
Then it came to moving around, which involved equally totally static screens. Turning around, is nice and fluid though, yes...? No. It's like playing MYST. The original version on Windows 3.11. Immersion comes in the form of animation. Even if it only involves things like animating a candle on a desk. None of this was done. I've seen more impressive FMV games 20 years older than this. Simply awful.
A unbelievably bad kind of hidden objects game.
Жалко было мужика которого убил. Хотя на самом деле выбор в игре есть и его можно было оставить живым, но выбор этот не очевидный: к нему не надо было просто подходить. В игре действительно фотореалистичная графика, как и указано в окне настроек перед запуском, не достижимая современным топ ААА играм :), потому что состоит она из фотографий. Этот квест полностью создан из них, в нём нету видеовставок как указано в тегах на странице игры, оные только в трейлере магазина Steam. Игра мне понравилась, инди как есть: разработчик один, два актёра сыгравшие жертв и один маньяка, но его почти не видно - пару раз в отражениях зеркал был виден и в конце с жертвой, а так в основном его руки в перчатках.
Самое занятное то, что если игра вам не понравиться, вы легко можете сделать возврат средств, так как завершите вы её даже быстрее, чем пройдёт половина отведённого на возврат времени.
игра поучительная как любовь зла моя оценка 6 из 10 но игра не очень.
