About this game
Welcome to a new adventure from the creator of the first Don't Be Afraid game…
You wake up in a place you don't recognize.
You can't remember how you got there. One thing is certain.
You've been kidnapped.
As Alyssa, you find yourself trapped inside a vast, isolated mansion that no one is ever meant to escape.
Behind your nightmare stand three mysterious captors:
Iris — a clumsy maid.
Mortimer — a gigantic clown with terrifying strength.
Mask — a silent leader hiding secrets of their own.
The longer you search for a way out, the more you begin to realize that your kidnapping was no coincidence.
You must sneak and hide to survive.
As you explore, you'll encounter phenomena that defy rational explanation.
Some things are watching you from the shadows.
Some react to light.
And some will make you question your own senses.
But are they really supernatural?
Along the way, you'll meet Emily — a mysterious girl with a mask permanently attached to her face.
She claims she wants to help you.
But in a place filled with secrets, it's hard to tell the difference between a victim and someone hiding their true intentions.
Every decision may bring you closer to the truth... or lead you straight into a trap.
Search every corner of the mansion, solve puzzles, and uncover hidden passages.
Every item, every note, and every newly discovered room reveals another piece of a story that reaches far beyond a simple kidnapping.
What begins as a desperate fight for survival gradually becomes a journey to uncover the truth hidden by the inhabitants of this place.
Story-driven psychological horror
Exploration and environmental storytelling
Stealth-based gameplay
Multiple endings
Dark, oppressive atmosphere

Is ALYSSA connected to Don’t Be Afraid?
I’ve already been asked that question before, so…Is ALYSSA connected to Don’t Be Afraid in any way?No, because the rights to Don’t Be Afraid are owned by Eneida Games, and they are the ones continuing the franchise. I wasn’t involved in the development of either Don’t Be Afraid 2 or any future entries in the series.ALYSSA, however, remains entirely in my hands and is a spiritual successor to Don’t Be Afraid. What does that mean?The game brings back:explorationitem collectingescaping from dangermultiple endingsshocking storyline with disturbing antagonistsIt includes my ideas for a Don’t Be Afraid sequel, but all characters, locations, and plotlines are completely new and built around new lore.It’s a completely new universe, and if things go well, I’d like to create more games set in it in the future.Read full article on Community Announcements (mario98)AnnouncementsOfficial
