TEAM
Fear the Spotlight was created by two people (hi, that's us). We are a couple of married parents with experience working in the games and animation industry. In 2016 we started making game jam-sized projects together, and our ambitions steadily grew. In 2021 we decided to finally work on our own solo project full-time, and that project became Fear the Spotlight!
We had a blast working on this love letter to all the things we love about horror games.
