Fear the Spotlight is a highly-rated love letter to the best horror games of the '90s and very early 2000s, and for the next seven days, it's free to keep forever. Read the rest of the story... R

Spooky season is well under way following the successful launch of the Silent Hill 2 remake, but fans of survival horror have more to look forward to this month with the release of Cozy Game Pals’ Fear the Spotlight.
