Fear the Spotlight is Out Now!

The day is finally here. After years of dreaming, developing, and pouring our hearts into this project, the extended re-release of Fear the Spotlight is officially live!

This game began as a passion project, a love letter to the horror games and movies we grew up with. And because of your support, it has become the debut title for Blumhouse Games. It has been an adventure we’ll cherish forever. Whether you’re just discovering our game today or you’ve been with us since the original limited release, we are forever grateful to you.

For the original fans that purchased the limited release last year, you are automatically upgraded to this newly expanded version of the game which almost doubles the length of the game. We hope you enjoy.

So, what are you waiting for? Fear the Spotlight is out now! Step into the shadows of Sunnyside High, uncover its buried secrets, and let us know what you think.

With endless gratitude,
Bryan & Crista (Cozy Game Pals)
