- Steam Awards nominations are now open! - 27 November 2025
When we started developing Enigma of Fear, we had no idea how it would be received.

It was intense. It was scary. It was everything.You showed up. You played. You investigated every corner of the Perimeter. You crafted theories we never imagined. You stayed up late trying to connect clues. And you shared all of it with us and with other detectives.Now, Enigma of Fear is competing in the “Labor of Love” category at the 2025 Steam Awards.How can you help?Visit the Enigma of Fear page on Steam.Click the banner “Nominate your favorite games for the Steam Awards.”Enigma of Fear should automatically appear as your selection under the “Labor of Love” category.That’s it!

- HALLOWEEN SPECIAL – 45% Off - 29 October 2025
Hey, Detectives. While Enigma of Fear takes part in the ScreamFest, we want to share something special with you: the behind-the-scenes look at how we built the atmosphere that haunts your nightmares.Have you ever stopped to look at the refrigerator in any of the houses in the game? The rotting food inside isn’t there by accident. Every object, piece of furniture, and decorative detail was meticulously chosen to tell who lived there, their routines, their fears, their last meals before everything changed. It’s a way of delivering information that isn’t directly stated in the story but helps us shape the identity of those who once inhabited the region.Every corner of the game was crafted with care. From sound design to lighting, every element was designed to enhance the mysterious atmosphere of The Place That Doesn’t Exist — the Perimeter. Creating fear isn’t just about darkness; it’s abo…
- 🎮 Devlog: Designing the Invisible - 23 September 2025
From the very beginning, we knew Enigma of Fear wasn’t just about combat. We aimed to build a deep investigative experience, one where players piece together clues, uncover secrets, and solve puzzles. The challenge? Investigative level design is invisible, it lives inside the player’s mind.That’s where evidence came in: interactive objects and documents that reveal fragments of the story and point to puzzle solutions. Each one had to carry narrative weight, emotional meaning, and gameplay logic. Designing them was like building a puzzle where nothing could be too obvious.Our first playtest? A solo tabletop-style RPG! Using a layered house map and live narration, we tested how players interpreted clues and navigated the mystery. That’s how our first investigative cycle was born.🎉 The most unforgettable moment? Two players solving the first major puzzle together during a final playtest,…
