As soon as you step into Sunnyside Theater for the first time, you’ll encounter a fresh hurdle – puddles of electrified water that cause harm. To cross these, you must locate and deactivate a generator. The initial generator, following your entry into the Theater, is situated on the Balcony. Simply proceed to the right from the entrance, ascend the stairs, and interact with the generator to turn it off.

There’s an Inhaler on the railing that you can pick up.

Upon stepping into the grand Theater Hall, there’s Amy ensconced within a large cage suspended above the main stage. Initially, your impulse could be to dash straight towards the stage and cut the ropes, but you’ll notice pools of electrified water in the vicinity instead. To add to the complexity, a beam of light from the ceiling will attempt to locate you.

As a gamer, here’s how I’d put it: “In this game, the initial part of the battle finds me seeking out and deactivating three generators for a smooth progression. The first one lies to the left of the main entrance, so I gotta tread carefully, staying clear of the Spotlight, to reach it. Once that’s off, I can then move across the hall to the second generator on its opposite side.

The idea is the same as before: slowly crouch your way towards it and turn it off. As a bonus, you’ll also find an Inhaler near this spot, which will be useful in the boss fight that comes up shortly. The third generator is near the stairs leading to the stage. Once you turn it off, all the electrified puddles will be gone. When the Spotlight isn’t near you, run up to the stage. The Spotlight will disappear, and you can untie the three ropes to bring Amy down.

Following your release of the cage, a brief sequence unfolds. In its finale, the persistent Spotlight Head from throughout the game will materialize. After exchanging some words, it morphs into a formidable foe that you must conquer. Your ultimate goal is to vanquish this boss to rescue Amy.

In the tradition of many classic survival horror titles, the climactic battle in Fear the Spotlight involves deciphering a puzzle instead of relying on sheer strength. Following the conclusion of the cutscene, the boss encounter will commence.

Your supervisor will leap towards you a few times, then the Spotlight will activate and search for you. To conquer the boss, you need to dash back to the Generators and switch them on to create electric puddles of water. Once done, lure the boss into jumping into the electrified water.

If executed properly, your boss will be left speechless. Subsequently, you’ll need to approach it to inflict harm. This procedure needs to be repeated thrice, utilizing the three energy sources you switched off earlier in the Grand Auditorium.

The boss will create burning zones on the ground around where it lands that can hurt you.

The first time we encounter this formidable foe, I’ll need to snip the wire spikes on its skull using the pliers I’ve got handy. After giving it a good shock for the second time, it’s time to fish out my screwdriver to unscrew the two screws keeping that grille in place. Finally, once I’ve managed to floor the boss for a third time, I can use the trusty screwdriver to shatter the glass protecting its weak point.

After defeating the boss, a scene unfolds showing you reuniting with Amy, but your journey isn’t over yet. Suddenly, a wildfire breaks out within the Theatre Hall. At this stage, you must flee with Amy and make your way towards the Rose Door that you previously unlocked. Upon reaching it, instead of going through the door, run in the opposite direction. As you do, events will spin out of control and you’ll find yourself back at the Library where your adventure first began, waking up from what seems like a dream.

As a gamer, I’ve reached the conclusion of Vivian’s tale in “Fear the Spotlight”. Yet, let me assure you, the game doesn’t stop here. Instead, I get another chance to dive back in, this time witnessing the story unfold through Amy’s perspective.
