Blumhouse, known for their horror films, initially had no plans to publish a game in 2024. However, in September 2023, they stumbled upon Fear the Spotlight, a voxelized horror game about two friends exploring a haunted high school. Created by Crista Castro and Bryan Singh of Cozy Game Pals, Fear the Spotlight caught the attention of Blumhouse executives, leading to a partnership. Blumhouse Games offered to help Cozy Game Pals improve their game, resulting in an expanded version released in 2024 on multiple platforms. The revamped Fear the Spotlight exceeded expectations, offering a nostalgic yet modern horror experience with deep storytelling and emotional depth. Blumhouse’s support and collaboration with Cozy Game Pals resulted in a successful launch, showcasing the potential of their partnership in the gaming industry.
