Storyline
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.
