Story
Fear the Spotlightis set in Sunnyside High, where a dark event took place.
The event gives Amy and Vivian the perfect reason to perform a seance.
However, during the ritual, Amy disappears, leaving Vivian behind.
No matter what happens, Vivian must not look into the spotlight.
All the while, she must find her friend and solve the dark mystery of a decade-old tragedy.
The description couldnt be further from accurate as the visuals are low poly graphics.
Still, the plot is intriguing and could potentially have a rich arc to unravel.
Thats thanks, in part, to the accessible gameplay.
Besides unraveling an intriguing story, youll solve interactive puzzles.
Throughout your playthrough, youll become enshrouded in an eerie, tense atmosphere.
The new game will focus on story and atmosphere, both of which already look promising.
Theres also areveal trailerreleased at the Summer Game Fest 2024 event a few months back.
First to stand out is the impeccable voice acting, which is certainly unexpected in a low-polyvisuals game.
But the visuals, too, have a sneaky way of tugging at your heartstrings.
They bring back the retro charm during the golden era of horror games.
Anyway, the description outright says the game is a creepy love letter to classic 90s horror experiences.
So, its only fitting that veterans swim in nostalgia.
At the same time, though, the atmosphere is pretty eerie and tense.
Both auditory, visual, and storytelling elements work together to tingle the spine.
As we count down the days to launch, hopefully, the game will receive more polish.
Both trailers showcase new additions.
So, the final game could potentially be much more refined.
Itll be a re-release on PC platforms.
However, consoles will be receiving the game for the first time.
For now, no editions seem to be available for pre-order.
If not, you canfollow the official social handle hereto stay on top of new updates.
So, whats your take?
