The mechanics of the GUMSHOE system are more fully explained in Dave's earlier and well received review of The Esoterorists. The mechanical differences between the two games is intentionally minimal. For a more immediate discussion of the mechanics as far as Fear Itself is concerned, Graham Walmsye has also written a review of the game.
