Latest Steam announcements

  • Update: 1.0.9 Arrowkeys have been freed. - 7 January 2023

    -You can now rebind arrow keys. -Sorry for the lack of updates for Born Into Fear. We're only a small team and we've been working on our new upcoming projects. Take care :D

  • Set in the same world as Born Into Fear: Pact of Joy demo out now! - 3 October 2022

    Experience the next installment in the buffer series by trying out our recently released demo Pact of Joy. - Set 20 years after the events of Born Into Fear. - Our orbs received an upgrade :) - You get a glimpse into a new world.

  • Update 1.0.8: Can you hear me now? - 12 May 2022

    - You can turn the volume up to 200% now if needed. (It's been stated that our game is on the quieter side and we'd rather let you crank it up rather than blast your ears at the start) - Fixed a couple issues we had with key bindings and input settings. - You can bind multiple things to one key if needed. ( I made left click do everything, don't recommend it.) - Added some text in Jay's garage in case players miss that they have a flashlight or journal. - Fixed some mission collisions in some houses.

  • Update 1.0.7: Words are hard :( - 3 May 2022

    - We fixed some typos in the journal and subtitles. (This applies to new games/ if you haven't reach that part yet) - Removed the "actions will have consequences" notice top left. (It was there during development and we thought we had removed it but it seems it stayed at some points :( sorry for the confusion!) - Fixed Sally not disappearing at the finale of the True ending. - We added the option to invert your mouse controls. - We added "" to new journal entry. In the top left notice.

  • Update 1.0.6: Mommy's Hug - 2 April 2022

    -Fixed an issue where Big Sally couldn't "punish" you properly when you were standing next to mini-sally. (basically big sally was trying to punish mini-sally instead of the player lol) -Fixed a spot the player could get stuck in inside the final home. (you could totally spam crouch out of it but that's not a proper fix now is it)

  • Update: 1.0.5: House 108 Crash - 27 March 2022

    -Sometimes when players go inside of house 108 they would crash at what would seem like a random point in the game. We ourselves couldn't get it to crash on our end until we restarted our computers and started a new game. Inside of Unreal Engine it wouldn't give us any error or warning. We were left confused these past couple days wondering why this crash happened to only some people and never consistently. - Our apologies to the players who suffered from this bug. - We've potentially fixed the issue and the game should no longer crash at that point. More details if you're curious in the next point. - So inside of that bedroom in house 108 a lot of the furniture was merged together into one 3D model. When we merged them it created 8 element slots for all 8 textures. We didn't notice until later that the chair was missing textures and had a default engine texture on it, and we didn't thi…

  • Update 1.0.4A: Underground Buttons Issue - 25 March 2022

    (This will NOT affect people who have not touched the buttons underground, completed them, or started a new game) If you had some buttons ON and left the underground and continued with the game then saved and reloaded game then there is a chance the buttons will no longer open the door regardless if you get the order correct when you come back to the area to try and solve it again. We have a solution 1: Once you load in and if the broken buttons are broken, save game underground and re-load your game. That should reset the puzzle and you'll be able to continue. Shoutout to https://www.twitch.tv/annedromeda844 for finding this issue! Minor fix: Some visibility issues. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Update: 1.0.4 - 24 March 2022

    - Blocked access to underground in houses 111, and 107 after player completes chores until they pick up the gold star. (this will only apply to new save, please don't forget your gold stars lol) - Fixed a major typo in the journal (this will only apply to new saves) house 110 is essential. NOT 112. We're sorry for the confusion this may have caused. - Made Underground Button's on or off state more clear. - Hid some mistakes that were left visible towards the end of the game. - Added more notes to reminders (this will only apply to new saves) - Fixed issue where the save game object's name wouldn't appear.

  • Issue in the Journal: House 112 is NOT essential. House 110 is. - 24 March 2022

    There is a typo in the journal that we'll be updating along with other bug fixes and issues that were found.

  • Born Into Fear out now! - 21 March 2022

    Born Into Fear is finally out now! We hope everyone enjoys the game. Let us know if you encounter any issues or bugs while playing. Thank you for your support and we'll be around making sure everything is running smoothly.

  • Operation: North Hollow Heights - 21 December 2021

    We've revamped the demo and changed a lot of things from the first iteration. We hope everyone enjoys the new version of the demo. We would appreciate continued feedback and bug reports. - Added a map of the explorable area. - The layout of the neighborhood is the same but the events have changed. - Removed Head bob. - Added some major changes to Sally. - Changed the tasks you have to complete. - Tackled some bugs to the floor. The full game will feature A.I but because the demo map is smaller we won't be adding them. (If you have any issue launching the game, restarting the steam client should fix it)

  • Changes to gameplay! - 30 November 2021

    Setting We've figured out the theme for the setting. Test of Courage was in school setting and the buffer, Bobby, would assign you test to do as a teacher would. Born Into Fear will have Sally taking over a designated role herself (we're not disclosing that yet, feel free to guess). Gameplay We're going to focus less on puzzles in and more on tasks you have to do. This'll better fit the overall story that we are building and would make sense. The puzzles in the demo feel too forced and we've noticed other content creators not really enjoying them either. We're also adding a map to the full game and a way to see tasks available so that everything is organized and clear. The Demo The demo is likely to get removed once we get closer to the release date to the game. If we have enough time I'll remake the demo with the new and improved features because the demo no longer properly demonstrate…

  • Born Into Fear Demo Updates 1.0.1- 1.0.4 - 3 October 2021

    Hello! We fixed some U.I and in game bugs. We also added some more additional clues in house 101 that should assist with the first puzzle. We added a couple more journal entries as well. Thank you to everyone who's played so far! Take care.

  • Born Into Fear: Demo release! - 1 October 2021

    Hello everyone! Our demo is out, enjoy. This demo will feature a fraction of what you can expect from the full release. You can expect the gameplay to be around 15-20 minutes depending on your playstyle. Let us know if you run into any issues.

Short description

Born Into Fear is a first-person horror game set in an evacuated neighborhood. You'll have to complete task and avoid enemies to destroy the evil Buffer.

About this game

Born Into Fear is a first person horror game set in an empty suburban neighborhood called North Hollow Heights. Its residents have all been murdered in a single night by an organization lauded as the protectors of humanity. You are Agent Jay, a member of this organization: Aegis. Aegis has asked you to search the lifeless homes, gather the results from their experiment, and eliminate any evidence, including the Buffer they’ve created, “Sally.” However, you have another reason to work with Aegis: your mother has been missing for a year, and the only clue you have points you towards North Hollow Heights. If you ever want to see her again, you’ll have to deal with the monsters lurking there, one way or another. North Hollow Heights was an ordinary neighborhood before Aegis’ experiment. Its people lived happy lives in their homes filled with love and laughter. Now, those same homes lie dead and silent. While you seek out a way to destroy the Buffer, uncover the truth of the experiment. Earn Sally’s trust by following her commands and rules. Maybe, you’ll even help the deceased pass on. Gameplay - Explore the homes of North Hollow Heights and learn the fates of their occupants - Avoid the creatures roaming the streets or risk their wrath - Meet some of the former souls who lived in North Hollow Heights and speak with them - Don’t forget to do your chores - Decide “Sally’s” fate - Make your Mom proud

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $5.99
  • Highest observed: $5.99

Born Into Fear's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $5.99, the highest is $5.99, and the first visible tracked price is $5.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Born Into Fear's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $5.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $5.99. The latest run records $5.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $5.99
  • Current list price: $5.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Born Into Fear at $5.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
