Fear the Spotlight is a 2024 survival horror stealth game developed by Cozy Game Pals and published by Blumhouse Games. The game follows high school students Vivian and Amy, who become involved with supernatural events at Sunnyside High.

Runs well on modern hardware.
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.
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 !!!!
Really cool little adventure, with awesome vibes! Everything from mechanics, old school graphics and fun puzzles. Will be eagerly looking for more games from these guys
