- Is ALYSSA connected to Don’t Be Afraid? - 12 May 2026
I’ve already been asked that question before, so…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:explorationitem collectingescaping from dangermultiple endingsshocking storyline with disturbing antagonistsIt 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.
