What Don't Scream is

Don't Scream is an indie game developed by Digital Cybercherries and released in 2024. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unreal Engine 5.

The premise, in the publisher's words

DON’T SCREAM is an Unreal Engine 5 short horror experience inspired by '90s camcorder found footage. Designed by Joe Henson. 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. DON'T SCREAM doesn't follow a set story, but there's a deep lore hidden within.
