We're busy working on a larger patch, but for now here's a quick fix for one major bug.
Save files now work in Amy's house when your PC is German, Portuguese, & French (previously loading a save file would spawn you in the black void)

The day is finally here. After years of dreaming, developing, and pouring our hearts into this project, the extended re-release of Fear the Spotlight is officially live!

This game began as a passion project, a love letter to the horror games and movies we grew up with. And because of your support, it has become the debut title for Blumhouse Games. It has been an adventure we’ll cherish forever. Whether you’re just discovering our game today or you’ve been with us since the original limited release, we are forever grateful to you.

For the original fans that purchased the limited release last year, you are automatically upgraded to this newly expanded version of the game which almost doubles the length of the game. We hope you enjoy.

So, what are you waiting for? Fear the Spotlight is out now! Step into the shadows of Sunnyside High, uncover its buried secrets, and let us know what you think.

With endless gratitude,
Bryan & Crista (Cozy Game Pals)

Hi all,

We're excited to finally reveal the release date for Fear the Spotlight! You'll be able to play it on October 22nd!

We also have a brand-new Release Reveal trailer for you to check out: It's been an incredible journey. Over the past year we've added so much to the game, and now it finally feels complete. We can't wait for you to experience it.

As a special bonus, we were featured in PlayStation's State of Play! Since this game is our love letter to the PlayStation horror classics that inspired us, being part of an official PlayStation showcase was an amazing honor.

Thanks for all your support,

Hi all!

We're still working hard on bringing you Fear the Spotlight later this year on all consoles. We're so excited with what we are adding to Fear the Spotlight and we will be announcing more about the game soon!

In the meantime, we were lucky enough to make this video with Blumhouse Games. If you're curious about who we are and our inspirations for Fear the Spotlight then you might enjoy the video below!

Thanks and you'll hear from us soon,

Hi there!

We can finally share some incredible news with you. Thanks to your amazing support and reception of Fear the Spotlight's original release, we caught the attention of Blumhouse Games[blumhouse.com]. They loved the game so much that they offered to help us in any way they could. We’re still in disbelief!

Our goal was always to bring FTS to more people through console ports and additional languages. With Blumhouse Games' backing, not only are the console ports happening, but we were also given the chance to continue working on the game. While we're not ready to spoil any details, we’re excited to share that we’ve added over an hour of new story content, carefully preserving what we loved about the original.

This is all possible because of you, our dedicated fans. As a huge thank you, anyone who bought the original game on Steam will receive a free upgrade to the updated version when it’s released this Fall 2024.

We can't wait to share more with you soon!
