Hi there!

We can finally share some incredible news with you. Thanks to your amazing support and reception of Fear the Spotlight's original release, we caught the attention of Blumhouse Games. They loved the game so much that they offered to help us in any way they could. We’re still in disbelief!

Our goal was always to bring FTS to more people through console ports and additional languages. With Blumhouse Games' backing, not only are the console ports happening, but we were also given the chance to continue working on the game. While we're not ready to spoil any details, we’re excited to share that we’ve added over an hour of new story content, carefully preserving what we loved about the original.

This is all possible because of you, our dedicated fans. As a huge thank you, anyone who bought the original game on Steam will receive a free upgrade to the updated version when it’s released this Fall 2024.

We can't wait to share more with you soon!
