  Eric Pasquet is Back!

  We know that for many of you, the voice performance of the actor portraying Franklin in Don't Be Afraid was one of the defining characteristics of the game. You loved and were simultaneously terrified by the voice created by great Eric Pasquet for this character, which redefined how layered and powerful a voice-over can be, breathing life into twisted character of Franklin.Unfortunately, after the release of Don't Be Afraid, Eric fell ill. Due to his health condition, he was not only unable to take part in Don't Be Afraid 2, but was also forced to step away from his passion for voice acting.However, Don't Be Afraid holds a special place in both his heart and ours. Despite ongoing health struggles, Eric agreed to participate in the production of Insanitorium – Don't Be Afraid. We are very happy that this opportunity has reignited his passion for bringing characters to life. As he says:"This has awakened a fiery determination for voice acting that I almost feared had been lost"Due to his continuing health challenges, Eric decided to collaborate with us on dialogues related to the mannequins, a sample of which you can listen to below. But this is only a glimpse of the incredible work Eric is recording to bring the mannequins to life - an essential part of the Don't Be Afraid games.On behalf of the entire Fallen Leaf team and Eneida Games, we would like to wish Eric good health so he can continue to take pride in what he has created and what he will create in the future. Not only will his work on Franklin always hold a special place in the hearts of Don't Be Afraid fans, but it also remains deeply important to him:"It brings me great joy to see the Don't Be Afraid series still going after all this time. Being a part of it was one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences of my voice-over career."

  New Enemy Intel for Insanitorium - Don’t Be Afraid

  Attention horror fans!The sequel to the cult hit Don't Be Afraid: Don't Be Afraid - Insanitorium, has just released the latest intel on the monsters lurking within its walls. If you are still haunted by the childhood nightmares of the first game, these "old friends" and terrifying new faces are ready to make your heart race once again.The King of the Kitchen - The ButcherDanger Level: Extreme.Location: The Kitchen Wing.Behavioral Pattern: He does not rush, he simply arrives. A predator of unsettling grace and brutal strength, he stalks his blood-lacquered dominion with deliberate, sovereign movements. He has transfigured the kitchen into a cathedral of ruin, arranging his victims into grotesque "feasts" that resemble macabre art installations.Survival Tip: Every metallic whisper and the drag of a blade is a promise of what’s to come. When you hear that sound, do not hesitate-find cover immediately. Understand that within his threshold, survival is not granted; it must be stolen.Fragile Echoes - Bag-Head PatientsBehavioral Pattern: These remnants wander the hospital corridors in an uneasy procession, their movements erratic and disturbingly human. While they falter alone, they become a suffocating atmosphere of pressure when they surround you at the edge of your vision.Fatal Flaw: They are driven by instinct rather than intelligence. The faintest disturbance a breath too sharp or a shoe clicking against the tile-will draw them to your position instantly.The Silent Sentinels - Mannequin GuidesThe Eeriness: In the sterile glow of fluorescent light, they seem almost benevolent, some even appearing to offer direction to the lost. However, once darkness spills through the corridors, their stillness curdles into something far more malevolent.Behavioral Pattern: They never move while observed. Yet, the moment your gaze fractures, they shift a shoulder turns, a figure moves closer, or a doorway is suddenly occupied. They are persistently and gently guiding you toward a desti...
