About This Game

Don't Fret is a first-person psychological mascot-horror puzzle game, where music and horror intertwine in novel and unfamiliar ways. Navigate the hallways of Harmonic Heights as Fret, a talented young guitar in search of a way back home.

MEET FRET - THE LIVING INSTRUMENT

Meet Fret, a sentient guitar trapped in a nightmare of music and madness. Navigate the decaying halls of Harmonic Heights, uncover its secrets, and confront the horrors of this musical world.

A STYLIZED WORLD OF SOUND AND FEAR

In the world of Don’t Fret, every instrument, hallway, and shadow is alive with purpose. The game’s art blends psychological horror with musical surrealism, creating a novel atmosphere that sets it apart from other indie horror titles.

EXPLORE A MASSIVE, MUSICAL WORLD

Shattering the boundaries of traditional indie horror, Fret's expansive world spans dozens of handcrafted environments — from classrooms and underground tunnels to campus courtyards, gondola rides, experimental medical facilities, holy places, and more. 


A CINEMATIC NARRATIVE EXPERIENCE

Don’t Fret delivers a story-driven horror experience that unfolds through audio logs, inspectable items, and cinematic cutscenes seamlessly woven into gameplay. Unravel a tale of exploitation, performance, and identity as you descend into the nightmare of Harmonic Heights.

AN UNFORGETTABLE CAST

An extraordinary celebrity cast of voice talent delivers haunting, emotionally charged performances that pull players deep into the world. Their authenticity and power voice voice to the fear, tension, and humanity at Don't Fret's core.

ADAPTIVE ENEMY ENCOUNTERS

Every encounter in Don’t! Fret demands creativity. Some enemies are drawn to sound and movement, forcing you to be stealthy. Others are relentless, fast, and unpredictable, attacking from any angle. And some cannot be fought at all. You’ll need to observe, listen, and adapt to survive.

MUSICAL PUZZLES AND INTERACTIVE INSTRUMENTS

Don’t Fret features a range of music-based puzzles, including pianos, drums, guitars, and harps. Door locks utilize the G-PAD, a guitar-inspired lock requiring you to perform under pressure as enemies draw nearer.

A WORLD SCORED BY ROCKIT MUSIC

Composed by Russell McKamey of Rockit Music, pioneers of the Nerdcore music genre who have garnered over 400 million views and a thriving community of over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. Their expertise lies in crafting immersive soundscapes inspired by indie horror and pop culture, ensuring an electrifying auditory experience for deep enthusiasts and casual players alike.

The Don't Fret soundtrack fuses cinematic orchestration with industrial horror... and it reacts to gameplay, evolving dynamically as you explore, hide, or fight, rhythmically ratcheting up the emotion of fear for truly tense gameplay.

Don't miss Don't Fret!
