Don’t! Fret is a story-driven psychological horror game. Play as a sentient guitar trapped in a nightmarish music school. Armed with only a tuner, uncover lost memories, collect Talent Canisters, and stay ahead of a relentless presence before the school erases you completely.
Don’t! Fret is a story-driven psychological horror experience set inside Harmonic Heights, a music school built to shape talent—and erase those who fail to meet its standards.
MEET FRET - THE LIVING INSTRUMENT
Fret isn’t a hero. He's trying to find his way home...
As you move through Harmonic Heights, you’ll uncover fragments of Fret’s past—what he was made for, who he was taken from, and why the school refuses to let him go. Every memory recovered pushes the story forward and deepens the horror.
A SCHOOL BUILT TO SHAPE — AND ERASE — TALENT
Harmonic Heights is a system.
Classrooms, rehearsal halls, dorms, tunnels, and restricted wings exist to refine talent through pressure, isolation, and control. The deeper you explore, the clearer it becomes that success here comes at a cost—and failure is not an option.
EXPLORE A TWISTED MUSIC SCHOOL
Navigate a handcrafted, interconnected school filled with secrets, shortcuts, locked areas, and hidden spaces. From practice rooms to underground facilities, every location reflects the school’s obsession with performance and perfection.
The environment changes as memories surface, twisting familiar spaces into something unsettling and wrong.
UNCOVER THE STORY THROUGH MEMORY AND DISCOVERY
The story of Don’t! Fret is told through exploration.
Memories are embedded in rooms, objects, audio logs, and interactions—not cutscenes alone. Each Talent Canister unlocks new truths about the school, the Foundation behind it, and Fret’s role in their experiment.
CHARACTERS SHAPED BY PERFORMANCE

The inhabitants of Harmonic Heights are defined by pressure, failure, and obsession. Their voices, actions, and environments reflect the school’s influence, revealing how far people will go to succeed—or survive—within its walls.
UNPREDICTABLE ENEMIES AND RELENTLESS THREATS
You are not alone.
Some enemies react to sound, others to movement or proximity. One recurring presence stalks Fret throughout the school, forcing you to stay alert, hide when necessary, and think carefully under pressure.
There is no combat. Survival depends on awareness, timing, and restraint.
SOLVE PUZZLES WHILE DANGER CLOSES IN
Progress requires solving environmental and music-inspired puzzles using instruments, mechanisms, and the G-PAD system. These challenges often unfold while threats roam nearby, turning problem-solving into moments of intense tension.
A REACTIVE SCORE THAT RESPONDS TO FEARokay

Composed by Rockit Music, the soundtrack reacts dynamically to your actions. Music shifts with danger, silence becomes oppressive, and distortion signals when the world is about to break—blending sound and emotion directly into gameplay.
The Don't Fret soundtrack fuses cinematic orchestration with industrial horror... and it reacts to gameplay, evolving dynamically as you explore, hide, or fight, rhythmically ratcheting up the emotion of fear for truly tense gameplay.
Don't miss Don't Fret!
