►About the Game -
Born Into Fear is a first person horror game set in an empty suburban neighborhood called North Hollow Heights. Its residents have all been murdered in a single night by an organization lauded as the protectors of humanity. You are Agent Jay, a member of this organization: Aegis. Aegis has asked you to search the lifeless homes, gather the results from their experiment, and eliminate any evidence, including the Buffer they’ve created, “Sally.” However, you have another reason to work with Aegis: your mother has been missing for a year, and the only clue you have points you towards North Hollow Heights. If you ever want to see her again, you’ll have to deal with the monsters lurking there, one way or another.
North Hollow Heights was an ordinary neighborhood before Aegis’ experiment. Its people lived happy lives in their homes filled with love and laughter. Now, those same homes lie dead and silent. While you seek out a way to destroy the Buffer, uncover the truth of the experiment. Earn Sally’s trust by following her commands and rules. Maybe, you’ll even help the deceased pass on.
Gameplay
- Explore the homes of North Hollow Heights and learn the fates of their occupants
- Avoid the creatures roaming the streets or risk their wrath
- Meet some of the former souls who lived in North Hollow Heights and speak with them
- Don’t forget to do your chores
- Decide “Sally’s” fate
- Make your Mom proud

[@justsaucestudio]

Yoo! Thank you so much for playing! Glad to see you playing one of our games again! Edit: ending 2 is achievable if you don't save all of the spirits! It's a different version of the save Sally ending.

[@MyrdinAnnoth]

Keep up the good work!

[@marcomadia6892]

thanks for your work!

[@CJUGames]

Thanks for making another fun game!

[@luneellise21]

the white ball "boogie-ing" is so cute!

[@the_ecips9692]

This game is *amazing*, I love the universe you're building! Hoping to see more games around the Buffers! :D

[@JWildberry]

I'm pretty sure most of your regular viewers love the fact that you're a completionist. I certainly do!

[@mandygast9042]

Yup same. I don’t care for the ones that rush through, skim, or quit playing. Chris is the best because he’s none of those

[@Niki_Hydn]

I love that Chris is a completionist. I love that he searches absolutely everywhere and and tries to find everything. Best videos on KZbin 😊

[@Sjel]

Yes! And it's so irritating when he misses something!

[@TheMajor8478]

Same, I'm on board.

[@sandoUK_HK_CAN]

finally a game with common sense on flashlight, been waiting something like this for years . always wonder why no developers adding different modes on the flashlights , brightness level or even zoomable ones

[@justsomeasiandude2733]

I appreciate that with you blowing up more on KZbin, your videos and playthroughs have been slightly changed in terms of being more clear when reading notes and identifying thing. Feels like you're telling the story. Glad you haven't gone and done over-reactive style horror gaming like many other people on this platform do

[@cryzzel]

We don't mind that you investigate/explore/ be a completionist! Love it!

[@Scriptor13]

"I like searching through these houses." CJU as a burglar in training. 😊 I enjoyed the game. Not much actual threat, but fun nonetheless. The big problem with the "good" ending is that, with all their data and back-ups destroyed, Aegis will just repeat the experiments from the beginning. So, until and unless Aegis is destroyed, Jay may have done more harm than good. I'm interested to see where this story/universe goes.

[@camfam9723]

At first I was pretty neutral watching this. After the heartbreaking back stories and juicy lore from test of courage, and admittedly, the immense jumpscares. Which, with watching your videos I believed I had developed a tolerance, but oh no no. Each one got my ticker skipping beats. It was amazing. I love this game so much, it was edgy as well a cute sense of hidden humor. Well done devs! 👏 thanks cju for play through. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Sheashay101]

Oh man, it hurts how human everyone here was. The Sallys, the restless spirits, the man on the tapes, the protagonist themselves, all except Aegis. That company can rot in hell. A strange game, sure, but a very well done one.

[@BoundlessGaming]

This was a stellar game, really glad you picked it up! I had no clue this was in the same world as Test of Courage before playing it, I'm sold on the story they're telling. Per usual, excellent job!

[@ffa2dramachick]

Lol.. "Who owns a katana?!?". Well, my husband and I cut our wedding cake with one... 😂

[@markzelis2551]

7:57 - Well, the completionist in me wants you to close that DANG FRIDGE!

[@TheSwauzz]

This game was stellar. From the perfectly spaced jump scares to humanizing the "villain", sharing the family dynamics in each home and the expansion of the story behind the buffers, I was blown away the entire time at how unexpected everything was. The mechanics of the game looked smooth and the flashlight was astoundingly intelligent for a horror game; something we rarely see. I loved the combination of humor and creepiness with the Sallys; it helped cut the tension just enough to relax you for the next scare. Some critiques: I'd like to have seen more challenging puzzles and more unique tasks. I know this takes way more time, but it's worth it in the end to keep things feeling new and fresh throughout the game. I'd like to have seen more of the sinister side of Sally; this could be making her more threatening in certain homes. The underground felt underutilized to me as well. Perhaps a Sinister Sally could have been planted there that Chris would have had to avoid. Overall, I loved this so 9/10. I remember asking for more from the Buffer story from the dev after watching Test of Courage, and I'm not disappointed at all. I love this so much! I can see this concept being a series or a movie. It's so unique and creative and I'm hopeful we get to see more. Edited to add: The SOUNDS were awesome!! For some reason the door closing sound felt so satisfying, like it was the perfect weight of that door. And kudos on the Sally warping indicator sound. I loved that and would totally use it as my text tone!

[@justsaucestudio]

We meet again!(on a diff account lol) It's been over a year. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate the criticisms. We definitely wanted to have more variety in the chores but we're also limited in time sadly. This isn't the last of the Buffer universe, and we'll be going back to our caves to learn more about game dev :). Hope you've been well Sarah!

[@misseshia2842]

The soul in 105 offended me. I own a katana!🙃

[@MyrdinAnnoth]

It would be great if there is a continuation to this story following up after the true ending. Protag ends up in some weird dimension and stuff, then slips back to Earth to help other buffers and hamper Aegis plans. You could even include some skills that could be used for puzzles that unlock as you progress as a result of protag going to that other dimension, and then by setting more buffers free, they would "bless" him, thus unlocking the potential of those skills. And ofc I wanna see more of Sally being the advisor and companion to the protag as they go about their bussiness. Would be dope as hell! Anwyay thanks for your hard work CJU, keep it up :)

[@TheSwauzz]

Yes, yes, yes! Not necessarily to everything you said (which are amazing ideas btw!), but because the overall concept of this universe is so perfect to create many stories from. Stories being games. Buffers are SUCH a cool concept!

[@annak8109]

Amazing game that exceeded my expectations and I didn't even mind the lack of threat since the rich story made up for it. But man, I was so pissed off at those Aegis agents killing children, dogs and entire families that I wish there was a sequel to this game where they become the targets on your list . Sweet revenge and justice. Chris thank you so much for playing this game at one go!

[@vercogaming3997]

The breaker panel in 102 looks a lot like the power panels in a very popular ghost hunting game... Another fantastic playthrough as always.

[@terra7283]

Love the whole buffer story, game made a great continuation of first one as well. Hope they continue the Aegis and buffer story in a game🤗

[@helengraham5934]

"What is this? House Flipper?" 🤣🤣

[@gamer2134]

This game really have be jumping in my seat every time sally ran across the screen. It’s one of the best games that I have seen. I think that if wiping the Drive might be ending two. I hope they make more games like this.

[@AnonYmous-np6jn]

Born into fear, huh? That's how I feel every morning.

[@Knuckleb0ne]

Just to add to the reassurance in the comments, I have been watching your videos for YEARS for lots of reasons, but one of the biggest is that you are a completionist. You explore, you care, you investigate. I appreciate that so much.

[@ariannalopresto3005]

god i thought this was just a horror game,,, didn't expect it to have me sobbing

[@brandiebeveridge1449]

Absolutely enjoyed this one! Quirky and brilliant. Loved how the silly jump scares actually were good in placement, had a few laughs as well. Great video, as always!

[@holyeffnut]

Thanks for being the completionist that you are! The startle scares were great, and the storyline was so much more than I thought it was going to be. Definitely loved it all!

[@tammievawter9477]

Such a good game...the startles were legit and didn't feel forced; the underground and back story was so well thought out and that I appreciate most definitely. Thanks to Dev team and also you, Chris.

[@luckypurplesocks]

Awesome videos and Amazing commentary. I loved test of courage, I wonder if this is a continuing series

[@laneylaney99]

Love this! And thank you for going through everything 🥰

[@kupari906]

Wow, what a great game! I'll definitely be picking it up, as well as Test of Courage. Thanks again for another great one!

[@RuSosan]

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I find it quite symbolically fitting that the logo for Aegis is a "Two-Face". And I have to say, they're portrayed in an exemplary case of what "Lawful Evil" ought to be. 1. Discover an issue. (Buffers) 2. Study and exploit said issue. (Tests to create buffers.) 3. Sell a solution/become the solution to the new issues you've created. (Aegis.) 4. Further exploit said issue under your new guise. (More attempts to create and weaponize buffers) 5. Leave no evidence, control the public opinion through PR. 6. Would say profit but profit is already attached to every step from 3 onwards.

[@Quinlana83]

That was really fun! Thank you for playing, CJU!

[@DarkwaveMistress]

I wasn't expecting to watch such a good game today. This was definitely a very unique experience in the way it presented everything. All those little tasks that gave us a sense of who those people were made the tragedy so much more painful, and all the endings you showed us much more meaningful. And I also kept getting startled lmao The Sallies were so well executed, creepy yet cute in their own way. I might have to go back to Test of Courage to get more lore because I don't remember anything. It was really fun to watch you enjoy yourself so much, Chris.

[@BASSOSOVIETICO1987]

Really good story! I had a very good time watching you! Everything seemed so logically put together. My completionist nature are also very fond of your discoveries!

[@food_toobs8333]

Man this was such a great game. I recently found your channel and have been binging as many of your videos as possible, but these games with the Buffers have been my favorites so far (well, tied with the Tormented Souls series). I watch a lot of horror game KZbinrs but you’ve quickly become my favorite. Keep up the great work, CJU!

[@wavynaeco7915]

Excellent game CJ, thank you for playing! 👍

[@justjakki]

What a cool game! I loved everything it had to offer, and you're playthrough was incredible as usual 💜

[@thomasvanvalkenburg2351]

Haunted House Flipper. That sounds like a fun concept. I look forward to your play through ;-)

This was unexpected and enjoyable. I really like this game a lot. Thank you so much for sharing this play through. Your my favorite lets player. :D

[@TheLordFool]

WOW! This game is fan TASTIC! There's so much humanity put into the spirits, the Sallys, the homes! Golly. I cried at the end too.

[@cyd933]

I actually love this one 😲 the sass in some of those npc 😆 the backstory, sally and everything tying in together is just chefs kiss 😌 im looking forward to the next instalment ☺️ I personally really like when you show the alternate endings and really exploring the place 😆 your honest reactions are refreshing!

[@B311adonna]

Definitely loved this one! Great play through!

[@DustinBarlow8P]

Aegis is just like any government Agency. The left arm has no idea what the right arm is doing. Seems like here you are in the left arm dept. believing you are helping humanity, while the right arm is doing some questionable wet work.

[@johannfunn6962]

Loved this game! Had good startles but also had a lot of heart. Enjoyed learning about the victims

[@shlap8766]

That was a nice ending btw. Very nice gameplay! Anyway Are you gonna play Syberia The World Before?

[@anniemcguire2359]

Dang this was a good game! --- I am fully addicted to Chris' playthroughs. I admit it and am not seeking a cure; yeeks! Heaven forbid! However, I do want to pass on a warning to other addicts - if you are going to be roaming the archives for more than one or two full game playthroughs, be sure to grab a snack to take with you: even if it were possible to get into the games through some sort of back door, there is NO AVAILABLE FOOD in them. You can find water, coffee, tea, and the occasional soda, but unless you like to scavenge corpses, you're shit outta luck. Oh, and watch out for Hiss. Don't really know what the creature is, but you can hear it slithering the library aisles and halls, especially the bleak ones with hardly any lighting. Any and all flashlights, lighters, glow sticks, or magical light sources were looted from the archive hallways a long time ago. None hidden between books, either.

[@kalezuki9231]
