Is ALYSSA connected to Don’t Be Afraid in any way?

No, because the rights to Don’t Be Afraid are owned by Eneida Games, and they are the ones continuing the franchise. I wasn’t involved in the development of either Don’t Be Afraid 2 or any future entries in the series.

ALYSSA, however, remains entirely in my hands and is a spiritual successor to Don’t Be Afraid. What does that mean?

The game brings back:

  • exploration

  • item collecting

  • escaping from danger

  • multiple endings

  • shocking storyline with disturbing antagonists

It includes my ideas for a Don’t Be Afraid sequel, but all characters, locations, and plotlines are completely new and built around new lore.

It’s a completely new universe, and if things go well, I’d like to create more games set in it in the future.
