For fans of old-school puzzle-horror games, Fear the Spotlight is the perfect hit of nostalgia. The game takes players on a dark and twisted journey through the halls of Sunnyside High as they play from the perspective of two friends, Amy and Vivian. There are plenty of puzzles in the game to keep players occupied. Additionally, for the completionists who want to use this chance to add another Platinum Trophy to their collection, the game doesn't disappoint there either.
In Fear the Spotlight, there are 35 achievements that players can unlock throughout the story (36 for those on the PlayStation). While most of these trophies are pretty easy to get and should unlock automatically, there are a few that you can miss during your playthrough. We've compiled a complete list of all the achievements and trophies you can get in Fear the Spotlight, along with a quick guide on how to unlock each of them.
