Despite the increased production value, many of these were still not to my taste, but I knew that going in. Solipsis: Was able to complete it but I don't know what it was trying to communicate. Squirrel Stapler: 10/10, no notes. Touched by an Outer God: Barf Unity Camera, couldn't continue. To the End of Days: I certainly got the end! I'm glad to have been given a chance at revenge on those screaming wire men. Sucker for Love: Nope. Charlotte's Exile: Decent little puzzle game! Undiscovered: Oh my GOD the barf camera. Toy Shop: Similarly, barf camera. If I didn't have a whole bunch more of these to play I might have pushed through. Alas. ArcaDletra: ...what. The Diving Bell: This might be the least compelling out of any of them. Another Late Night: I clicked on things and got an ending, but again, not sure what happened. The Thing In The Lake: Doing half-hearted "retro" style stuff is a surefire way to turn me off.

Dread x collection 2 doesn't disappoint with the set of games this time and I think most of them are in the good territory. This collection was an indie collab, where they're given 10 days to make a horror game, that fit the theme of lovecraft. These indie developers have given their best, which is commendable. The first thing you notice before playing anything, is you have been dropped in a hub, which has lore and puzzles. A neat addition and breath of fresh air before jumping in on a game. There are 12 games and I will be briefly reviewing every one of them now. Another late night. A pc desktop simulator, that starts out interesting only to not go anywhere. It feels like it just ends when you think it's starting to get interesting. Arcadletra. Actually a pretty interesting game, with a lot of jumpscares. You are being hunted in an arcade by a monster. Charlotte's Exile. This is a unique puzzle game where you have to decode a book while getting harassed by a monster. This one you should check out. I had a lot of fun with this one. Solipsis. This is a 20 minute adventure where you go to the moon. It looks really dark and empty, which adds to the feeling of loneliness and that's why it is really scary. I won't say more, play this one. Squirrel Stapler. This is one of the best games from the collection. You hunt squirrels so you can staple them to your dead wifes body. Sounds messed up, cos that is just that. You hunt for squirrels and the game builds up by reminding you, that god is coming in 5 days and you don't know what to expect. Needs to be played. Sucker for Love. Didn't think I would play a game where I want to smooch an eldritch god, but here I am. This game is the most different game of the bunch. It's a cute dating sim where it seems nothing scary would happen. If you like the consept, there is sequels. Play this one. The Diving Bell. You are underwater managing a research facility which is haunted. This game delivers on the athmosphere and the story is presented nicely. The Thing in the Lake. Pixel art game where a monke goes to cause havoc. It has some 80's horror movie vibes and cool art, even has multiple endings. A must play. Toy shop. This might be the longest game in the collection. Toy Shop is a great game with a good story. I was immersed from the begining to the end. To the End of Days. If you can get past the edgy main character, you will have good time. The world is ending and you need to shoot everyone so you can get home. Fun fastpaced fps. That secret code you get at the end is the best thing ever. Touched by an Outer God. A roguelike fps. It has taken some notes from the boomer shooter genre. It is a game where you mutate and get stronger by killing monsters. If you like this kinda game this is for you. Undiscovered. This is the worst game of the collection. You go to look at an old tomb and scary stuff happens. You should totally pick this up and support these indie devs. Everyone has brought something new and different to the table. This is worth every penny and if one game isn't up your alley maybe the next one is. If you have fun with this one, I recommend to pick up the first collection too.

Just finished all the games on this one. I overall liked it far more than the first entry. Many more hits than misses for me compared to the first title, and the 'hub' was handled much better, and actually made into it's own little puzzle game. Another Late Night was pretty meh. Too short and simple. There wasn't a lot going on in it and the message seemed relatively shallow. Charlotte's Exile was also a bit too basic for my taste. Solipsis was a neat little game. Very short, but good atmosphere and a fun enough idea. Undiscovered was more or less the same for me, short with a neat idea. I liked the idea behind the camera perspective. Arcadletra I'd place a little higher. I like the atmosphere of this one. The End of Days and Touched By An Outer God were higher on my list up to this point. Both were fun little 'horror' themed action games I found pretty fun, though one of the enemy types in the former felt rough to deal with. The Toy Shop and The Diving Bell were my second favorites of the compilation. Good atmospheres, mechanics, ideas, and themes. I enjoyed these two a lot. My favorites were Sucker for Love, an early build of an actual full game I've already played. It was neat to see an earlier version of the idea. Above that, The Thing in the Lake. This one was a neat little black and white horror game with a neat idea where you play as several people through the same area. My favorite of the whole collection was Squirrel Stapler. It was bizzare, and fun. It has very slow gameplay though, so be warned.

Buy a collection of crappy horror games for a low price. Most suck, but some are sure to tickle your fancy. Worth it if on sale.

Solipsis: Very simple, but the atmosphere is great and I enjoyed the ‘eureka’ moments. 6/10 Squirrel Stapler: Quite unnerving, but a bit frustrating and tedious at times. I wish the variation kept expanding. 7/10 Sucker for Love: It’s like she’s in my head. 7/10 To the End of Days: It feels like the attempted scope of this one became a detriment to its production. Straight forward and monotonous. 4/10 Touched By an Outer God: Feigns replayability, and is honestly the most overrated one of the list. Boomer Shooter with uninteresting arenas and unnecessary ‘lore’. I like the idea of mutating past the point of recognition, but this one rushed past the feeling I wanted from it. 5/10 Charlotte’s Exile: Fun puzzle horror, I just wanted to explore more. 8/10 Undiscovered: Hold ‘W’ slop. Old-timey film effect is just headache-inducing, and gameplay does not make up for it. Felt like every design and lore decision was simply because of the ripped ‘Spanish Inquisitor Skeleton’ asset that the dev wanted to use. 2/10 The Toy Shop: Another one that suffers a bit from its vast world. Ending feels abrupt and not much is explained, but the shift from reality to reality and the thought/speech ‘editing’ are interesting ideas, and well executed. 6/10 Arcadletra: Annoying, just walk towards and press whatever thing is talking/making noise/electrified. I felt like a rat in a maze trying to find the cheese, and the random ‘platforming’ section doesn’t help this feeling. Nothing explained, nothing gained. 3/10 The Diving Bell: Takes place 0 days after a workplace accident and I already have an anti-psychotic addiction. Random door/zones getting locked off was frustrating, but makes sense with the pacing. This one was really well done. 8/10 Another Late Night: Truly just not a game. 1/10 The Thing in the Lake: This is the most rage-inducing piece of trash I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing. It’s honestly more annoying that it wasn’t a buggy mess, I probably would’ve preferred it crashing over how it works currently. It’s astonishing that this gameplay loop was never changed, or redesigned completely. Any and all death is a complete chapter reset, each one littered with unclear objectives. Multiple zones near guaranteeing death if entered while the user is unlucky or currently has bad karma. Traps suck you in faster than a black hole, another guaranteed restart as ‘breaking free’ always takes longer than dying. Even if you do complete it in one life at least two of the four chapters end in forced deaths, leaving you unsatisfied with your ‘completion’. I never even finished chapter 4. If the ‘scary’ red text ‘game’ gets 1/10, this must be. 0/10 A very polarizing collection. There are enough playable games in this collection that I'm recommending it, but a number of these are unplayable.
