Dear Fans!

Hi there, it's Bryan and Crista! We've got some exciting news that will have an impact on Fear the Spotlight in the near future.

First, we want to thank everyone who has played Fear the Spotlight so far. Thanks to your incredible support, we've been given the opportunity to keep working on the game to make it even better. We'll be adding console versions, improving translations, offering more languages, and (most excitingly) adding some new gameplay.

We want to be upfront with you – We'll be taking the game off Steam while we work on these improvements. We'd love for you to wait for the improved version, but if you were looking forward to playing it this Halloween season, you will have until November 2nd to purchase the game as it is now. For everybody else, we promise it will be worth the wait.

We can't thank you enough for playing our game. It means the world to us to see how much you're enjoying it. We're super excited about what's in store and can't wait to share more details with you.

With loads of gratitude and excitement,
Bryan & Crista

Thanks everyone for all your support ❤️

The full game launches on September 15th 2023. We can't believe we're already here. See the launch trailer above for more of what you can expect in the full game.

It has been amazing and helpful to see reactions and playthroughs of our demo. With your help, and some additional private beta testing, we have been able to fix a ton of tiny issues in the full game. We have also updated the demo build for Windows, Linux, and Mac to include some of these fixes.

The responses we've been seeing are amazing. We have a ton of new wishlists on Steam. We've been in the top 10 most popular games on itch.io for about 2 weeks. It's all very surreal! We know Fear the Spotlight is a very niche game, but when the right people find it, they seem to love it - which is an amazing feeling for us. We really hope that more of the right audience continues to discover it post-launch.

Thank you all so much for your support! We look forward to updating you again when the full game is in your hands!

We just released a new demo to give you a taste of how the full game is shaping up. We're so proud of what the game has become.

And even more exciting, the game is nearly done and we will be releasing on September 15, 2023!

Play the demo, and if you enjoy it. make sure to add Fear the Spotlight to your wishlist!

Thanks for all the support

We've been working hard on Fear the Spotlight and are getting close to releasing the full game! Fear the Spotlight has changed a lot the first demo, so we wanted to release a new updated demo that is representative of the full game.

We're so excited for you all to play it next week!

Welcome back, fans of Fear the Spotlight. It's been a year since you experienced the terror of Sunnyside High, and we've been lurking in the shadows, tirelessly working on bringing you an even more terrifying experience. We can't wait to share some improvements you will see in the full game:

⦁ Physical Puzzles: We've taken inspiration from escape rooms to make the puzzles and exploration more immersive.
⦁ An Intelligent Presence: The enemy has become more than just a predictable obstacle. We've upgraded its mind to keep you on edge and constantly guessing.
⦁ Heart-pounding moments: We've added much needed scary encounters that are not just puzzles or sneaking. These are moments that will test the limits of your courage
⦁ More areas to uncover: We've opened up new areas of the school for you to explore, each with its own puzzles and stories to discover.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the final stages of development. The secrets of Sunnyside High are waiting to be uncovered, but are you brave enough to face them?

Spooky Greetings, Pals!

To celebrate Steam Scream Fest we want to invite you to take a peek at some of the upcoming updates to Fear the Spotlight.

We've been heads-down for a while now, transforming our demo into a full experience. We're holding off on story spoilers but are excited to give you a peek into some of the gameplay improvements you will see in the full game.
