Steam Awards nominations are now open!

When we started developing Enigma of Fear, we had no idea how it would be received. It took four years of pouring our hearts and souls into the game building every detail, every mystery, every character only to finally release what was once our story into the world and watch it become yours as well. It was intense. It was scary. It was everything.

You showed up. You played. You investigated every corner of the Perimeter. You crafted theories we never imagined. You stayed up late trying to connect clues. And you shared all of it with us and with other detectives.

Now, Enigma of Fear is competing in the “Labor of Love” category at the 2025 Steam Awards.

Why does this matter?

The Steam Awards are different: there’s no jury, no specialized committee there’s only you. You, the players, decide. And that makes all the difference.

We built Enigma of Fear with the goal of telling a story that would stay with you. From Cellbit’s direction to Dumativa’s art team, every element was crafted to serve the narrative of the Perimeter: the voice acting, the environments, the mysteries hidden in every object, every shadow. Everything was designed to create an experience you wouldn’t forget.

Watching you dive into the story, connect clues, debate theories in the community… that’s what makes it all worth it. And that’s why we continue actively working on Enigma of Fear, whether through console porting, game improvements, and/or the development of the DLC.

And what’s coming next?

Meanwhile, our team doesn’t stop. Console porting is moving full steam ahead, the artbook is taking shape with a ton of content that didn’t make it into the game, and the DLC is being built with great care a new area, new mysteries, and improvements based on your feedback. No rushing it, because we want to deliver the content you deserve.

If you’d like to nominate Enigma of Fear, the Steam page is waiting for you. “Labor of Love” category. Until December 1st.

Thank you for playing. Thank you for staying. Thank you for making all of this worth it. — Cellbit and the entire Dumativa team
