About Fear the Spotlight
Fear the Spotlight is an atmospheric third-person horror adventure with a disturbing mystery to unravel. Sneak into school after hours with Vivian and Amy, survive a séance gone wrong, solve tactile puzzles, and, whatever you do, stay out of the spotlight… Sunnyside High has a dark history. When Vivian enters the deserted corridors for a seance with the rebellious Amy, she suddenly ends up alone, and at the mercy of the monster who wanders the halls. Vivian must avoid its gaze, find her friend, and uncover the disturbing, murderous truth of a decades old tragedy.

Haunting nostalgia at its best. Fear the Spotlight gives you characters that you root for instantly, followed by non-stop curiosity spikes from every clue you find. The game makes you want to click on everything. All the micro-interactions make this a really fun play; you can actually feel a disc being inserted into a DVD player or the knob of a radio when switching stations. Fear the Spotlight makes great use of sounds and surprises to keep you on your toes, building up a lot of tension when exploring and momentum for the jump scares. Give it a play if you want a perfect balance of exploratory puzzles and horror elements with great mysteries to be solved.
Great game. Wonderful design and puzzles!!
This game was truly wonderful! I loved the story and its characters; the puzzles were kind of rudimentary but in the best way possible yet intricate; I think this game is a perfect introduction to survival horror games especially for people who haven't explored the genre. Its horror elements are rightfully placed and not overstaying. The game rewards and satisfies you really well when you solve the puzzles, and it progresses and unravels the story in such a natural tempo. If you're curious immediately get this, it is so worth it !!!!
Great atmosphere, puzzle and story. Well balance phasing between horror and thrill. If you into Silent Hill you will like this game.
