Fear the Spotlight doesn't quite land as a '90s horror throwback, but it delivers some great puzzles and eerie lo-fi images in a sleek package.
Fear the Spotlight MSRP $20.00 Score Details “Fear the Spotlight is an imperfect, but sincere lo-fi horror debut for Blumhouse Games.” Pros Cons High school can be a real horror show. Bullies roam the halls like zombies, every test has life-or-death stakes, and the threat of expulsion hangs over your head like a guillotine. For a young kid struggling to navigate the world, it can feel like being thrown into one of Jigsaw’s torture chambers.
Throwback meets modern Fear the Spotlight begins amid a late-night school break-in, as Vivian and Amy sneak through the halls in search of a locked-up Ouija board. The duo hope to get some information about a tragic fire that happened at the school long before their time. They get their wish — but you can imagine how that goes for them.
There are moments, though, where it clicks together. Fear the Spotlight works best as a video game equivalent of a young adult novel. It takes the haunting set dressing of a psychological game like Silent Hill, but replaces its adult trauma and grisly violence with relatable teen issues. Its story weaves through bullying narratives, drama club anxiety, schoolyard stalking, and more.
