  Don’t Scream is 50% Off - Steam Daily Deal!

  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 working anymore. So we’ve moved everything into a proper bug tracker that keeps things organised and makes it way easier for us to actually fix issues. P.S. Don’t Scream is 50% OFF right now! We’re currently featured in a Steam Daily Deal, so if you’ve been waiting to grab the game or want to convince a friend to suffer with you, now’s the perfect time! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2497900/DONT_SCREAM/ Where to Report Bugs Now Report In-Game: Press F9 or find the reporter in the menu under Extras. Submit a Bug Report: Official Bug Reporter See What We’re Fixing: Live Bug Tracker Submit via Discord: Bug Reporting Channel Why the tracker? It lets you attach screenshots, videos, logs, all the stuff that actually helps us reproduce issues. And your report goes straight onto our to‑do list instead of getting buried in forum noise. We’re still reading the forums, but for anything technical, we’ll politely nudge you toward the tracker so nothing gets lost! Want to help us test? We’re also using the testing branch a lot more now. If you want to help us break things before they go live (in the good way), you can hop in here: Steam > Right‑click Don’t Scream > Properties > Betas > Testing - Public Testing Branch Thanks again for sticking with us. We really appreciate it, and we’re excited to provide more updates, improvements, and news with you as we keep advancing the game forward. Oh...

  An honest message about the DON'T SCREAM TOGETHER launch.

  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 are only five indie devs. I am not saying that as an excuse, I really hope it does not come across that way. I just want to explain where we are coming from. We tested the game over and over, especially the microphone calibration. We tried different microphones, different software setups, got help from friends and family, and on our end it was working great, like, it genuinely was. And honestly, we had so much fun playing and testing it together. We really believed in it. But when your whole game mechanic relies on a microphone, there are so many edge cases you can never fully prepare for. Every setup is different. Every mic behaves differently. There are so many variables. We did do our best, even if it might not seem like that right now. And I am so sorry to anyone who feels disappointed or frustrated. It hurts to read that. Truthfully, I have cried over this because it means a lot to us. Anyone who knows our team knows how much passion we put into everything we make. Maybe we missed the mark here in some places. Maybe we could have explained some things better or caught more issues before launch. We are human, and we are learning. In the end, we just wanted to offer you all a fun, simple horror experience with a cool twist using the microphone mechanic that you could enjoy with friends, at a price point we felt was fair and accessible for what the game is. And maybe we did no...

  Major Update #4 | New Symbols, Scares, Locations, and Huge Gameplay Changes!

  Your Experience If you are enjoying the game and haven't yet left your feedback via a Steam Review, would you consider letting others know about your experience? Reviews are super important for small developers like us, and we truly appreciate your support. https://store.steampowered.com/recommended/recommendgame/2497900 Why hello there, Screamers! It’s been a little while since our last update, and this one brings some of the most significant changes yet. We’ve listened closely to your feedback, fixed a ton of issues, and introduced new features that should make DON’T SCREAM scarier, fairer, and more replayable than ever. DON'T SCREAM is now 25% off as part of Steam's Daily Deal. Spread the word to your friends! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2497900/DONT_SCREAM/ Encountered bugs or have feedback? Connect with us on our Steam Forums or Discord. Thank you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44694809/1f980cfbe5ef8dc8e1511f846f10dde1e4100a68.png PLEASE NOTE: TRANSLATION HOTFIX INCOMING ASAP! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44694809/0da9482154d4a453840a078030b1b076bd2f2365.jpg One of the biggest additions in this update is the introduction of Symbols. The arrow marker now points you towards an unknown location in the forest, but it is up to you to search that area and find the symbols themselves. This creates clear objectives without revealing everything, and it heightens the tension, since focusing on a symbol can leave you exposed if you are not careful. Of course, it's still vital to find batteries and keep your camcorder powered! We also made important adjustments to traps. They should be dangerous, but we know they were previously too hard to see. We added a camcorder-style glitch effect that fits the game’s look and makes traps easier to spot without removing the surprise. Another major change is full controller support. Menus, interface, and gameplay now work cleanly on a controller, with improved icons for different controller types. If you prefer to play from the couch, the experience...
