The Future of Fear the Spotlight

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
