Thanks everyone for all your support ❤️

Full Game Available Soon!



[h3]Full Game Release is Days Away[/h3]
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.

[h3]Demo Update[/h3]
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.

[h3]Positive Reactions[/h3]
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!

New Demo Out Now!



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
