Don't Scream

Summary

If you scream, you start over. Don't Scream is an Unreal Engine 5 horror short experience inspired by '90s camcorder-style found footage. Created by two indie developers, the challenge is simple: spend 18 minutes exploring the eerie Pineview Forest without letting out a scream. Seems straightforward, doesn’t it? There's a twist, though. Time moves only when you do, and the scares come unpredictably. You'll need to set up your microphone in-game so that every gasp, flinch, or tiny noise is picked up as a scream, raising the difficulty. Featuring dozens of dynamic jump scares, each playthrough delivers a fresh and terrifying experience.
