If you're looking for an incredibly fun and genuinely sweet softcore horror experience this holiday season, then Fear the Spotlight from developers Cozy Game Pals is the game for you.
Fear The Spotlight Review – Indie Retro Horror Nails Nostalgia, But Fails In Depth
A spooky, two-campaign trek through the most stereotypical American high school imaginable, complete with creepy drama teachers with theater lights for heads, fun puzzles, and a surprising level of emotional depth.
Fear the Spotlight has been out for a while now. I was expecting, as you might expect, something sub-par. Bugs and glitches, a lack of content even… but no. Whatever 'updates' the devs have implemented post-pull from Steam have clearly had a major effect, because I'm loving this charming little indie gem.
You shouldn’t go into Fear the Spotlight expecting Visage-levels of psychological suffering, and you shouldn’t go into it expecting Silent Hill 2-levels of survival horror. It’s not there because it wasn’t meant to be, and this game doesn’t suffer for it.
