Terms of Service
In Fear Me, every decision carries weight. Here, every interaction has its boundaries. These terms define the rules of engagement for our platform.
Last updated: September 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
Before you step into the world of Fear Me, you must understand what binds us together. By accessing fearmegame.site and using our platform to play Fear Me, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms. This isn't just legal boilerplate—it's a mutual understanding about how we operate this service.
If the thought of these terms makes you uncomfortable—much like the moral dilemmas within Fear Me—then perhaps this platform isn't right for you. We're not here to trap you, but to establish clear boundaries in a space where fear and uncertainty already reign.
2. What We Are—And What We're Not
Let's be perfectly clear about something that causes confusion: we are the operators of fearmegame.site, the platform that hosts Fear Me. We did not create the game itself. Fear Me was developed by independent creators, and we simply provide a gateway to experience it through our website.
Our Role as Platform Operators:
- Website Infrastructure: We maintain the website, ensure it loads properly, and handle the technical framework that allows you to access Fear Me
 - Game Access: We embed Fear Me through iframe technology, creating a seamless bridge between you and the game
 - Platform Experience: We curate additional content like guides, analysis, and community resources to enhance your Fear Me journey
 - What We Don't Control: We cannot modify game content, fix game bugs, change storylines, or alter the fundamental experience the developers created
 
Think of us as the stage managers, not the playwrights. The story of Fear Me belongs to its creators. We simply provide the theater where you experience it.
3. The Weight of Your Choices
In Fear Me, characters face consequences for their decisions. Here, on our platform, your actions have consequences too. This isn't meant to intimidate you—it's meant to establish the same principle of accountability that makes Fear Me's narrative compelling.
Age and Maturity Requirements:
- Minimum Age 18: Fear Me contains mature themes, psychological tension, and moral complexity. You must be an adult to use this platform. This isn't arbitrary—it's about respecting content that requires emotional maturity to process
 - Understanding Consent: By using our service, you confirm you're legally capable of entering binding agreements. If you're not, please come back when you are
 - Content Warnings: If themes of fear, manipulation, or moral ambiguity disturb you, this may not be the right experience. Know yourself before you engage
 
Boundaries You Must Respect:
Much like the characters in Fear Me learn that some lines shouldn't be crossed, there are boundaries here too:
- Don't attempt to break our platform security or manipulate the game embedding
 - Don't use automated tools—the fear in Fear Me requires human engagement, not bot shortcuts
 - Don't redistribute game content. The creators' work deserves respect, just as your experience deserves authenticity
 - Don't use our platform for anything illegal. Fear Me explores dark themes, but we operate in the light of legal compliance
 - Don't interfere with other users' experiences or our ability to maintain the platform
 
These aren't arbitrary rules—they're the foundation that allows Fear Me to exist on our platform. Break them, and you break that foundation.
4. Ownership and Creative Rights
Here's where things get nuanced: Fear Me, in all its narrative complexity and emotional depth, belongs to its creators. Every character moment, every branching path, every moment of tension—these are not ours to claim. We operate the platform, but we don't own the art.
The Creative Boundary:
- Game Content Belongs to Creators: Fear Me's story, characters, artwork, music, and code are protected by copyright. We embed it; we don't own it
 - Our Platform Content: Guides, analysis articles, and website design elements are ours. But we clearly distinguish between what we create and what we host
 - No Derivative Works: You cannot create unofficial sequels, adaptations, or remixes of Fear Me. The creators' vision deserves to stand on its own
 - Fair Use Discussion: Critical analysis, screenshots for review purposes, and educational discussion are generally acceptable, but commercial exploitation is not
 
If you're a creator and believe Fear Me incorporates your work without permission, contact us immediately. We respect creative ownership, just as we expect you to respect the creators of Fear Me.
5. Privacy in the Age of Fear
Fear Me explores themes of surveillance, control, and the loss of privacy. We understand the irony—here we are, asking you to trust us with some information. But transparency is our antidote to fear. Here's exactly what we know, and what we don't.
What We Actually Collect:
- Website Analytics: Aggregated data about page views, how long people stay, what devices they use. This helps us maintain the platform, but it's anonymized and never tied to your identity
 - Technical Information: Browser type, screen resolution, general location (country-level, not precise). Again, anonymized
 - Contact Information: Only if you reach out to us through our contact form. Even then, we don't store it beyond what's necessary to respond
 - What We Explicitly Don't Collect: Your name, email (unless you contact us), game choices, game progress, or anything you do within Fear Me itself. The game runs in an isolated iframe—we literally cannot see what you're experiencing
 
Why We Need This Information:
- To ensure the website loads properly and performs well for you
 - To understand if our guides and resources are actually helpful
 - To detect and prevent technical issues that could disrupt your Fear Me experience
 - To comply with legal requirements when necessary
 
We never sell your data. We never trade it. We never share it with third parties except analytics services (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) that are bound by their own privacy policies. Your Fear Me journey is yours alone—we're just providing the stage.
6. The Reality Check
Fear Me is designed to make you feel things. But here's what we need you to understand: it's fiction. The fear is simulated. The consequences are narrative. And our platform, while we work hard to maintain it, comes with real-world limitations.
Critical Understandings:
- Fictional Content: Fear Me is a work of interactive fiction. Nothing that happens in the game has any connection to reality. If the themes disturb you, step away. Your mental health matters more than completing a game
 - No Financial Transactions: We don't charge you. The game doesn't charge you. If someone asks for money in connection with Fear Me, it's a scam. Report it
 - Mature Content Warning: Fear Me explores psychological manipulation, fear, and moral ambiguity. If you're sensitive to these themes, or if they trigger real trauma, please don't play
 - Service Limitations: We're a small operation. We can't guarantee 24/7 uptime, instant bug fixes, or perfect performance. We do our best, but we're human
 
The Legal Reality:
We provide this platform free of charge. That means our legal liability is limited. If something goes wrong—a bug crashes your browser, the game doesn't load one day, or a guide has incorrect information—we can't be held financially responsible beyond what's reasonable for a free service.
That said, we're not trying to abandon you. If you experience real problems, contact us. We'll do what we can to help. But understand that we're platform operators, not game developers, and some issues may be beyond our control.
7. The Evolving Platform
Just as Fear Me branches into different endings based on your choices, our platform may evolve. We might add new guides, redesign the website, or make technical improvements. We might also need to pause service for maintenance, or—in worst-case scenarios—discontinue the platform entirely.
What We Can Do:
- Improve and Update: We may add new content, fix bugs, or enhance the platform experience. These are positive changes, but they may temporarily affect access
 - Temporary Suspensions: If we need to perform maintenance, address security issues, or fix critical problems, we may temporarily disable access. We'll try to give notice when possible
 - Update These Terms: As we learn and grow, these terms may need refinement. We'll update them here, and your continued use means you accept the changes
 - Discontinue Service: In extreme circumstances (cost, legal issues, loss of access to Fear Me itself), we may shut down. We'd give reasonable notice, but we can't promise forever
 
What You Can Do:
- Leave Anytime: This isn't a trap. If you don't like changes, or if Fear Me no longer interests you, simply stop visiting. No strings attached
 - Request Data Removal: If you want us to delete any information we have about you, ask. We'll do it
 - Provide Feedback: We're not mind readers. If you have thoughts about how we could improve, tell us. Good feedback influences our decisions
 
8. When Things Go Wrong
In Fear Me, conflicts escalate until someone makes a choice that changes everything. In the real world, we prefer a different approach: communication first, escalation only if necessary.
Our Dispute Resolution Philosophy:
- Talk to Us: Most problems stem from misunderstandings. Email tushenmei@gmail.com with a clear description of the issue. We're real people, and we want to help
 - Give Us Time: We're not a corporation with a 24/7 support team. We'll respond within 48 hours, but complex issues may take longer
 - Mediation if Needed: If we can't resolve something through direct communication, we're open to mediation by a neutral third party
 - Legal Last Resort: If something truly egregious happens and all else fails, legal action may be the only option. But that's rare, and we hope it never comes to that
 
Governing Law:
These terms operate under the jurisdiction where we, as platform operators, are located. We'll specify the exact jurisdiction upon request, but generally, disputes will be handled in our local courts unless international law requires otherwise.
9. The Final Choice
In Fear Me, every choice matters. Here, your choice is simpler: do you accept these terms and want to engage with our platform, or do you prefer to experience Fear Me elsewhere? Either way, we respect your decision.
If You Have Questions:
- Email: tushenmei@gmail.com — This is the best way to reach us for terms-related questions
 - Website: https://fearmegame.site — Our main platform, where you can find additional resources
 - Response Commitment: We typically respond within 48 hours, though complex legal questions may take longer
 - Languages: We can communicate in English and Chinese
 
These terms exist not to trap you, but to create clarity in a space where Fear Me already thrives on ambiguity. We operate the platform; you experience the game. That's our arrangement. If you understand and accept these terms, you're ready to face Fear Me. If not, that's okay too—everyone has their own threshold for what they're willing to accept.
