If you scream, you restart. Don't Scream is an Unreal Engine 5 short horror experience inspired by '90s camcorder found footage. Made by two indie devs. The challenge is simple: explore the mysterious Pineview Forest for 18 minutes without screaming.
Sounds easy, right? But there's a catch. Time only progresses as you move, and you cannot predict the scares. You must calibrate your microphone in-game so that every whimper, jump, or even a minor squeak is registered as a scream, increasing the challenge. With dozens of dynamic scares, each playthrough offers a unique experience.

Ineffectual and Shallow
Eh, this was dumb and I'll probably forget about it as soon as I post this. I'm pretty jumpy so I thought this would be a good challenge, but the second you realise the entire game is just it throwing randomised jumpscares at you and there's no actual threat that can harm you takes all of the fear out of it. As soon as I registered that there was no actual danger, I wasn't even slightly nervous anymore, just counting down the timer until I could count it as finished.
Utilising the microphone and building a horror game around it is a neat concept, though I don't think it's the first to do so.
