Screamers! It’s been a crazy few months, to say the least! All your feedback and suggestions have helped more than you know, and Don’t Scream wouldn’t be where it is without you. So seriously, thank you so much for the support! If you haven’t played in a while, you’re going to notice a lot has changed. We’ve overhauled the microphone calibration and onboarding, improved performance across the board, and squashed a mountain of bugs. One of the biggest changes, though, is how we handle bug reports. The old “spread across 20 forum threads and a Discord DM from 3 weeks ago” system just wasn’t work

Hi everyone. I just wanted to post this here and keep you all updated. Right, where to start… DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER has been out for a few hours, and seeing the negative reviews has been really hard. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, and I’m not going to pretend it hasn’t hit us emotionally. Making games is such a vulnerable thing. It feels like sharing something personal, something you love, something that comes from you, and then hoping people enjoy it. We put so much love, time, testing, and care into this game. We really did try our absolute best with the resources and team size we have. We a

Hello, Screamers! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44694809/7b68983868326ee4a4261aabb5908c93f7b3f725.jpg Major Update #3 is now live! As promised in our development roadmap, we're continuing to overhaul the environments. This update includes new locations, structures, and let's just say... some strange things! Once we're satisfied with the environmental additions, we'll focus on enhancing the finer details. Our goal is to make the forest and everything in it look realistic, weathered, and deteriorated. We want players to wonder, "Wait, what happened here?" and to keep you constantly on edge, always question

Hello, Screamers! Firstly, thank you for your incredible support for "DON'T SCREAM". This journey has been beyond our wildest expectations. When we launched this game as a short UE5 horror experience, we never imagined it would capture your attention the way it has. Your enthusiasm and ideas have not only been inspiring but have also highlighted the potential for even greater depth in the game. As much as we've achieved, Joure and I are aware of the limits of what we can accomplish alone, particularly regarding content and technical enhancements. We're proud of the improvements we've made so f

Settings Update (part 2) Yesterday we rolled out the the first iteration of the re-designed Settings menu. It included the revamped main settings page and the new Video Settings and Microphone Settings page as well. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44694809/b36576e1167493a0249c6a9c1cd5d0e33d6586e8.png Today we've added proper key-binding functionality to the game (sorry AZERTY Players). As stated before, we didn't have the time to implement these before the Early Access launch but doing our best to make up for that! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44694809/d50b30f7c81dd7feda951a5cd3db8b7c05d53de9.png Next up will be pro

DON'T SCREAM has gotten a settings / setup overhaul. With this update you'll be able to: - Change resolution - Set a windowed mode - Toggle VSync - Cap the game's FPS - And a new "medium" quality option has been added There's now also a better Microphone settings page where you can change the default mic and set the value. It also detects if it's muted and you can un-tick it from there too. With that said we will keep improving the settings and will be adding Audio options and a proper key-binding function soon! We also identified the issue where your mic isn't picked up (Microphone privacy).
