Don't Scream

A Simulator game by Digital Cybercherries, released in 2024

No Rating🔴Niche / Inactive🥇Proton GoldPC (Microsoft Windows)

If you scream, you restart. Don't Scream is an Unreal Engine 5 short horror experience inspired by '90s camcorder found footage. Made by two indie devs. The challenge is simple: explore the mysterious Pineview Forest for 18 minutes without screaming. Sounds easy, right? But there's a catch. Time only progresses as you move, and you cannot predict the scares. You must calibrate your microphone in-game so that every whimper, jump, or even a minor squeak is registered as a scream, increasing the challenge. With dozens of dynamic scares, each playthrough offers a unique experience.
