Australia: Bambada Press (7): 15. This time around the Cowboys teamed up with a British company called JW Spear and Sons. All it takes to ruin a game like this is for one player not to get into it properly. If one person refuses to do something the Gatekeeper asks them to, the whole illusion of the game is shattered. For that reason, you have to be kind of careful who you play it with. Anyone overly self-conscious, overly cynical, will spoil the, ahem, atmosphere for everyone. But get the right group of people together and it’s a lot of fun.

Like pretty much everything, Atmosfear isn’t much fun if you don’t commit to it. To really enjoy yourself, you have to be able to embrace the silliness. Because no, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t answer the Gatekeeper promptly with the correct response; the game can’t punish you, because it has no way of knowing whether or not you said anything. If you roll the dice and don’t get the right number, there’s nothing to stop you rolling again, or just cheating and moving however you want to. But if you’re not going to get into the spirit of it, what’s the point in playing? AtmosfearTM is a game of skill, strategy and suspense wrapped up in a race against time. You must collect 6 coloured keys and face your greatest fear before the countdown reaches zero. But there is one problem: The Gatekeeper. And he's going to cause a world of trouble.

Nightmare was such a major success for Spear, and they had done a lot of market research on it, that they wanted to have a say in how the next game was developed. For the Cowboys, it meant that they could take advantage of Spear's obvious game development skills, rather than having to build everything up from scratch themselves. Paulsen, Steven (1996).
