A whisper. A wavering faith. And a gentle voice echoing in your mind.

Be (not) Afraid is a short visual novel with a length of only about 5–8 minutes of gameplay, but enough to put the player in a state of indescribable restlessness. You will enter the world of a lone character, wondering if he really hears… the voice of God?

Be (not) Afraid Story

The game revolves around a single conversation—between you and an entity you believe to be divine. Gradually, the words of comfort become suspicious, the voice becomes strange, and the atmosphere changes from reverence to obsession. The game asks the question: How can faith become a tool of fear?

Be (not) Afraid Highlights

  • A single route, with two different endings
  • Impressive voice acting and a unique original soundtrack
  • Simple yet haunting art style
  • Religious, psychological, and eerie visual elements

Be (not) Afraid doesn’t need jumpscares - it creates a creepy feeling by whispering in your ear with sweet words that no one really wants to hear. “Don’t be afraid. I’m with you…” If you enjoy the feeling of the line between reality and fantasy blurring, try continuing with The Second Sight: Dead Reckoning – where the truth can be seen… only with a second eye.
