A massive 13TB Steam leak has unearthed a playable, unreleased online horror game based on the 'Scream' franchise, developed by Fatshark.

  • A 13TB Steam leak containing data from 2003-2013 has hit the web.
  • An unreleased, unfinished 'Scream' horror game has been discovered.
  • The game was developed by Fatshark, creators of Warhammer: Darktide.
  • Users have successfully enabled multiplayer functionality via emulators.

The gaming community is reeling after a colossal 13-terabyte leak of Steam files, spanning from 2003 to 2013, surfaced online. While many were hunting for the mythical Half-Life Episode 3, digital archaeologists have instead stumbled upon something far more visceral: a fully playable, albeit unfinished, online horror game based on the iconic 'Scream' franchise.

User Roly Poly Reaper took to X to reveal that while digging through the massive data dump, they found several builds of this unannounced title. Most impressively, the user managed to get the multiplayer mode operational using tools like Goldberg emu and Radmin VPN. The footage reveals a tense asymmetrical gameplay loop where survivors attempt to evade the legendary masked killer, Ghostface, while one player controls the predator.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that this discovery highlights a missed opportunity in gaming history. According to datamined information, this project was being developed by Fatshark—the studio renowned for Warhammer 40k: Darktide—around 2011. This predates the massive explosion of the asymmetrical horror genre led by titles like Dead by Daylight. Had this 'Scream' pitch been greenlit and completed, it could have fundamentally altered the trajectory of multiplayer horror games.

This leak provides a rare, unfiltered look at the experimental 'pitch' phase of major gaming studios.

Evidence suggests the project may never have moved beyond the pitch stage, as the files are stored in directories labeled “Scream_Pitch” and “Screampitch_inside.” The last traces of activity on the build appear to date back to February, shortly before the theatrical release of Scream 4.

Historical Background

The asymmetrical horror genre, characterized by one powerful killer versus multiple vulnerable survivors, has seen significant evolution. While 2010s titles perfected the formula, the existence of a 2011 'Scream' prototype proves that the concept of cinematic, character-driven asymmetrical horror was being explored much earlier than the mainstream recognized.

Did You Know?: The leak is so massive (13TB) that it contains pre-release builds of thousands of games from the early 2000s.
