“The response to Scared By Squares so far has been incredible, and I’m really excited to share the free demo. I can’t wait to hear players’ reactions and build the game together with feedback and ideas from the community. Players can expect surreal, unsettling environments where every corner holds a new surprise.”

- CJ Capelotti, Siege Industries

 

“It isn't very often that such a unique idea comes in such a simple execution. Scared by Squares immediately caught our eye because there's something defiantly ridiculous about a team setting out to create a horror game out of something completely un-scary.

I'm very honored to be working with such a talented and creative team, and I am waiting just as anxiously as the fans to see what comes next in the game!”

- Brandon Egolf, Clique Games
