About the game

Fear: The Game

Built by AONE Creative for On Chain Innovations with Hidden Empire Film Group, for web, iOS and Android, to build the audience for Fear months before its theatrical release. Live from March to September 2022, it moved nearly its whole audience to the film’s site.

The demo shows the beta, version 1.2.0, published on August 24, 2022: the start screen, choosing a runner, then a run through the woods at night. Tap the left of the screen to jump and the right to slide, and collect the F tiles for points.

Can you outrun your biggest fear? The runners are the film’s characters, among them Rom, Bianca, Benny, Russ and Serena, played in the film by Joseph Sikora, Annie Ilonzeh, Andrew Bachelor, Terrence J and Ruby Modine. Every player watched the film’s trailer before gameplay began.

Anyone could play for free. From August 26, 2022, members could also play to earn $RUN tokens, NFTs based on the film and the chance to attend events like the Hollywood premiere.
