ABOUT THE GAME

A guitar, a music school,
and something hunting the halls.

Harmonic Heights was a prestigious music school. Now the halls are dark, the students are gone, and the things that took their place hunt by sound. You are Fret, a guitar, and you are not getting out quietly.

Don’t Fret is a stealth horror adventure. Stay quiet, stay out of sight, and when something corners you, dodge and stun your way clear. Your tuner evolves as you go, unlocking new ways to deal with what’s hunting you.

The music is the puzzle. Pianos, drums, guitars and more stand between you and the exit, and some have to be played with something closing in. Collect the memories scattered through the school and play them back to learn what happened here, and where you fit in.

Enemies that hunt by sound

The creatures of Harmonic Heights react to noise. Stay quiet, stay low, and move when they’re listening somewhere else.

SURVIVE

Cornered? Dodge and stun

When hiding fails, you still have options. Dodge, stun, and as your tuner evolves, hit back in new ways.
