About Pass the Fear
PASS THE FEAR is the roguelite bullet-hell shooter where you must find a way to escape before dawn breaks. In battles filled with relentless bullet storms, random items stack to create outrageous, exponential combos. Unleash the wildest projectile patterns and screen-shattering damage to crush every enemy standing in your way!
Unlike traditional action roguelites that rely on endlessly stacking raw stats, Pass The Fear focuses on finding the perfect build for your playstyle.
With limited items, you'll create unique, highly synergized builds through thoughtful combinations - much like a card game (if you're a Hearthstone Battlegrounds player, you'll know exactly what we mean!)
With no fixed meta, combine traits, modifiers and affixes to create deadly combos, even triggering chaotic chain reactions!
What’s The Story?
When a catastrophic Witch's Disaster strikes without warning, chaotic magic sends vast, towering waves and raging tempests to encircle your island.
Nothing goes in. Nothing gets out.
Inside this barrier, dark magic spreads to every living creature, turning them into grotesque monsters.
And you? You're a demon hunter trapped within this hellscape. Before dawn breaks, you must find a way to escape the island that’s rapidly becoming a living nightmare…
