Note written 2026-09-17; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Don't Be Afraid is a first-person psychological horror game built around a dark premise involving creature encounters and environmental puzzles.

This quiet 2020 horror title carries solid lifetime performance (mid-sized owner base, 82% positive ratio) and maintains modest but consistent monthly residuals despite zero promotional activity in the past year. The recent developer post and active achievement engagement suggest the studio remains engaged. Revival or light publishing support could reactivate dormant players; acquisition makes sense primarily as a catalog play with potential sequel IP leverage given community enthusiasm for Don't Be Afraid 2. Most realistic play: revival.

• Risk: Horror genre saturation on Steam means discoverability will require sustained marketing; current price point elasticity of -1 suggests revenue-neutral position on discount depth.
• Risk: Single-title studio with no other releases limits publisher's upside from existing catalog unless sequel development is greenlit.
