What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have ambitious long-term plans for Don't Panic Together. Early Access allows us to gather valuable player feedback, better understand community expectations, and refine the overall game flow. Our goal is to involve players directly in the development process and shape the experience together with our community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While the exact duration may vary depending on community feedback and development progress, we currently anticipate that Don't Panic Together will remain in Early Access for several months. This timeframe allows us to properly expand and polish the game before the full release.”

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

“The full version will include additional jumpscares, new map areas, expanded gameplay mechanics, and more content overall. We also plan to further improve performance, balancing, and overall polish based on community feedback received during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version offers a stable and fully playable core experience. Players can explore the main gameplay loop, experience core mechanics, and get a clear vision of the game’s direction. While the foundation is solid, additional content and refinements are planned for future updates.”

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

“We plan to offer the game at a lower price during Early Access to reward our early supporters and community members. As additional content, features, and improvements are introduced leading up to the full release, the price will increase accordingly to reflect the expanded experience.”

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

“Community involvement is a key part of our development strategy. We will actively collect feedback through forums, social media, and in-game reports. Player suggestions, bug reports, and gameplay feedback will directly influence balancing decisions, new features, and future content updates.”

About This Game

DON’T PANIC

Control your voice. Protect your sanity. Survive the night.

Don’t Panic is an online co-op psychological horror experience with a light bodycam camera aesthetic. Players take on the role of police officers sent to investigate mysterious events deep within a forest. On this night, the greatest threats are not only unknown entities — but panic, fear, and your own voice.

Overview

As a police unit, you are assigned to investigate strange incidents occurring in the forest. As the night progresses, the environment changes, logic begins to break down, and control slowly slips away. There are no safe zones. Threats are random, and every mistake can have serious consequences.

Thanks to the microphone detection system, shouting, panicking, or making sudden noises directly affects gameplay. If you make too much noise… something will hear you.

Gameplay Features

  • Online Co-Op (1–4 Players): Play together with friends or face the darkness alone.

  • Microphone Detection Mechanic: Your real voice affects the game. Loud sounds attract danger.

  • Sanity System: Excessive fear and shouting reduce your sanity. As sanity drops, your perception of reality deteriorates.

  • Fear Meter: As sanity decreases, the fear meter also drops. If the fear meter reaches zero, your character dies in panic.

  • Random Events: Every playthrough is different. Events and threats are dynamically generated.

  • Bodycam-Style Camera: A disturbing and realistic perspective with light VHS and handheld camera effects.

  • Dense Atmospheric Design: Detailed ambient sounds, sudden effects, and dark visual tone create constant tension.

Objective

Survive the night and collect clues for your investigation.
Stay close to your teammates and work together.
Stay quiet. Someone might hear you.

Why Don’t Panic?

Unlike traditional horror games, Don’t Panic turns the player’s real-world reactions into a core gameplay mechanic. The fear is not only on the screen — it exists in your room. The calmer you stay, the better your chances of survival.
