What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Why Early Access?

"FearCarly" is a deeply immersive psychological horror game that relies heavily on creating an atmosphere of tension and dread. Developing such an experience is complex, especially when it comes to balancing the pacing of scares, the intricacy of puzzles, and ensuring that every detail contributes to a truly terrifying environment.

We chose to launch in Early Access to involve players directly in this process. Your feedback will help us refine the gameplay, enhance the scares, and ensure that FearCarly becomes the best horror experience possible. We believe that the horror genre thrives on player reactions, and we want to incorporate those reactions to fine-tune the scares, atmosphere, and story of the game.

With Early Access, you have the opportunity to:

Shape the Fear: Help us adjust the game's pacing, puzzles, and scares to make them as engaging and thrilling as possible.
Discover New Content First: Get early access to content updates as the game grows, with new areas, puzzles, and story developments added regularly.
Be Part of Our Journey: We are a small, passionate development team, and Early Access allows us to share this journey with you, turning your input into features and improvements.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we want FearCarly to be a game where our community feels proud to have contributed to its success. We can't wait to hear your thoughts, experiences, and ideas as we continue to build this haunting and terrifying adventure together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect FearCarly to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months, depending on community feedback and the progress of development. This timeframe will allow us to polish the game mechanics, add new content, and ensure the best possible experience for players.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to deliver a more complete and immersive experience with the following additions and improvements:

New Content: additional levels, puzzles, and story-driven events.
Enhanced AI: refinement of NPC behavior and interactions.
Optimization: improved performance, pathfinding, and graphics.
Accessibility and Localization: support for additional languages and accessibility options.
Balancing: adjustments to difficulty and mechanics based on player feedback.

We are also open to incorporating community suggestions to further enrich and expand the overall experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and includes:

Main storyline: explore the abandoned asylum and uncover the mysteries surrounding Carly.
Puzzles and exploration: several interconnected areas and puzzles to solve.
Immersive atmosphere: detailed graphics, atmospheric sound design, and scripted events.

Some elements, such as AI balancing and general optimization, are still being fine-tuned.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price when the full version is released, reflecting the additional content and improvements made during Early Access. This encourages players to join the journey early while supporting the game's development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We aim to work closely with the community to make FearCarly a unique and memorable experience. Here’s how we plan to engage with players:

Direct feedback: through Steam forums, social media, and Discord.
Polls: to gather player preferences on specific features or adjustments.
Regular updates: delivering improvements based on feedback, along with detailed patch notes.
Targeted testing: conducting sessions to test new mechanics before their final implementation.

We strongly believe that the community plays a vital role in the success of FearCarly, and we look forward to collaborating with our players to refine and perfect the game.”

About This Game


The nightmare begins here. Will you survive Carly's curse?

About the Game

"FearCarly" is an immersive first-person psychological horror experience where you play as Carl Johnson, a detective sent to investigate strange occurrences in an abandoned psychiatric hospital. But something is off... The asylum seems haunted by a malevolent presence—a little girl named Carly.

The player must explore dark, oppressive locations, solve sinister puzzles, and survive Carly’s terrifying appearances while uncovering the dark secrets that haunt this cursed place.


Explore dark corridors where every shadow hides potential danger.

Story

It all starts with a simple mission: Carl Johnson, a seasoned detective, is sent to the asylum to investigate troubling reports. Screams have been heard during the night, and witnesses claim to have seen a mysterious little girl. However, from the moment you arrive, the heavy atmosphere and chilling sounds make it clear that this place is anything but ordinary.

The asylum is a maze of abandoned corridors, treatment rooms, and dark secrets. You soon discover nurse journals detailing strange events involving Carly, a young patient abandoned on her birthday, subjected to experimental treatments by the doctor. But Carly is no ordinary child... Her spirit is filled with something evil, and she won't let you leave easily.


Carly is everywhere. She's watching you. She's waiting.

Key Features

🕯️ An Oppressive and Realistic World

Explore the three levels of the asylum, including a terrifying basement, a dilapidated ground floor, and haunted upper floors filled with the tragic story of Carly. Every corner, creaking door, and shadow contribute to the terrifying atmosphere.

🗝️ Macabre Puzzles and Troubling Riddles

To progress, you will need to solve eerie puzzles: finding keys, deciphering codes, lighting candles in the correct order, and other challenges that will bring you deeper into the asylum and into Carly’s tragic story.

👻 A Terrifying and Unpredictable Entity

Carly is an unpredictable entity that can appear at any moment. Her sudden appearances and jarring, unnatural movements will keep you on edge at all times. You cannot hide, nor can you fight back—your only option is to run and hope she gives you a moment’s respite.


The only way out is to run... if you can.

🔦 Candle Lantern: Your Only Ally Against the Darkness

Your only source of light is a candle lantern, fragile and barely enough to pierce the suffocating darkness of the asylum. Listen for the heartbeat sounds that intensify when Carly is near, and trust your instincts to survive.

🎵 Terrifying Sound Design

The soundscapes and chilling background music play a major role in FearCarly. Faint whispers, footsteps that seem to follow you, and Carly’s eerie laughter create an immersive atmosphere that keeps you on constant alert.

🌍 Realistic Graphics for Full Immersion

The game is developed using Unity’s URP render pipeline, delivering realistic graphics and a truly immersive visual experience. Every room, every decrepit wall, and every object is designed to breathe life (or death) into the asylum.


The walls of this asylum hide more secrets than you can imagine.

Main Features

  • No Health Bar, No Defense: You have no weapons. Carly cannot be fought; she can only be escaped from. The tension is constant.

  • Narrative Immersion: Discover Carly’s story through documents scattered throughout the asylum, revealing the past and atrocities that took place here.
