Overview
ALYSSA is a first-person psychological horror experience developed and published by Broken Arrow Games, the studio behind the original Don't Be Afraid. Released on October 22, 2026, this walking simulator leans heavily into atmosphere, exploration, and story-rich dread rather than action-heavy scares.
The game supports English, Polish, Arabic, and Turkish, and includes Steam Achievements as well as Family Sharing.
Highlights
- Psychological Horror Focus: The game prioritizes unsettling atmosphere and narrative tension over jump scares, drawing on the creator's previous work in the genre.
- First-Person Exploration: Players navigate environments from a first-person perspective, piecing together the story through environmental storytelling and gradual discovery.
- Story-Rich Walking Simulator: With tags like Story Rich and Exploration, ALYSSA is designed for players who enjoy slow-burn narratives and immersive world-building.
Who It's For
ALYSSA is ideal for horror fans who appreciate psychological tension and narrative depth over combat. If you enjoyed the original Don't Be Afraid or similar walking simulators like Layers of Fear or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, this game should be on your radar.
The lack of traditional action means it's also accessible to players who prefer exploration and story over reflexes.
