This hub is not great, but it's mostly because of the writing. The dialogue was so cringe. But the actual games were (mostly) good. (In order from most liked to least liked) The Standouts: Chip's Tips Sato Wonderland Submission Disparity of the Dead The Decent: Eden: Garden of Fautless Spookware Bete Grise Matter Over Mind Reactor The bad: Soul Waste Bubbo Nice screams at the Funfair I am so fed up with the "make it look like crap" shader that all these games use. I would rather have bland graphics that look sharp than crappy jagged blurry textures. That trope needs to die asap.

I bought this because i stumbled upon it from the dev bryce bucher. I haven't played all games yet, but I like how it's done, having you play an entire game to progress in the main game as well, pretty nifty. I got it on a sale, but it's worth it's price

Lots of silliness, little dread. The 3rd Dread X collection has a nice hub in a “cute Halloween” style and interesting (if somewhat drawn-out) discussions between an MC and … an entity… with a sprinkle of point-n-click-ish gameplay in-between the main games. While the set-up is intriguing, the main course is quite bland. It’s platform-heavy and terrible-controls-heavy at the same time - obviously, an unfortunate combo. And while there are a few good experiences and one kick-ass one, the rest feel underbaked and rushed. Lastly, this installment is surprisingly short on, well… dread. It ends up being entertaining as a whole but lagging a bit behind the previous installments. Nerdy cliff notes on all the games below: Submission The gem of this collection. An action/adventure horror that managed to be genuinely creepy and meta-humorous at the same time. The variety of gameplay (you’ve got point-n-click, shooting, “coding” puzzle…) and very silly (but wholesome in that silliness) plot rounds up this indie mini-extravaganza. There are also graphic styles galore – kudos to the dev for pulling this off in a 10-day period, it takes real talent. This was tons of fun! Matter Over Mind A platformer-like (or platformer-lite?) where you, as a brain-eating mass (adorable and, apparently, good-smelling), try to escape the lab and get out into the big, wide world. Sounds more fun than it is purely due to the wonky controls. There is a decent amount of jumping (on top of people’s heads to capture their brains, for example), and it’s wildly imprecise and sometimes unresponsive. Also, if you die – you’ll have to go back to the start and lose all the DNA samples (that are NOT needed for the win) you’ve been collecting which, on top of problematic controls, could turn frustrating. This one is a “meh”. Radiator This was a fun but very linear story (or a “short feature” as the game calls itself), where when asked a question – you only get one answer you still, for some reason, need to “choose”. Pretty usual set-up as far as “sci-fi with AI” stories go, nothing groundbreaking but entertaining enough for a single playthrough walking sim. A bit unsettling at times, with cool music and a neat ending though. Nice Screams at the Fun Fair. Surrealistic horror-light that’s leaning towards “style over substance” territory with a sprinkle of sim-like gameplay and eye-popping visuals that actually work for this piece. Very short. Kiiiinda fun. Still, could have been so much more. Oh, and controls are janky as hell. Disparity of the Dead Pretty cool game if you happen to be a big fan of platformers. Slightly less cool game if you aren’t. The concept (more so thought-provoking than horror-related) is interesting, the aesthetics are there, and the gameplay is too, but endless platforming over the same locations (game could be rather vague in what exactly you need to do) on the way to rather anti-climactic ending became a bit drawn out and overstayed its welcome by the finale. “Fun to play, forget right after” kinda situation. Bete Grise. An iso top-down hotel sim. Cutesy anime style I didn’t care for, and the gameplay that consists of WASD-pressing with an occasional QTE and some repetitiveness. Hard-to-embrace directional controls made for a head-scratching time. The concept of horror is there, yes, but it’s not at all scary or even spooky and rather abrupt. Didn’t care for this one at all. But you do get to wipe some mirrors and put away pens which the game seems to be excited about, so there’s that. Soul Waste Platformer/hack’n’slash mix that I left unfinished. Not my genre to begin with but the fact that your movement feels like you are constantly sliding on ice doesn’t help to make it any mor enticing. Might be enjoyable for those who love nothing more than to slip and slide their way through the enemy lines. If there’s a will, there’s a way. EDEN: Garden of the Faultless. I have no idea what this game has to do with horror, but I thought it was fun if a bit slow. You have a garden in which you raise gods (by feeding them fruit), and then enroll them into an overly long race where you can only watch and cheer. That about sums it up. It’s on the weird and surrealistic side, kinda heart-warming too (you can pet your little god) with as simple-as-it-gets gameplay. I like what I saw here, just not sure why it is a part of Dread X. SATO Wonderland. Incredibly short (for what it was setting itself up for) adventure. I’ve seen the word “investigative” used to describe it on several occasions. Well, if you call putting few words together out of about 8 of them to find new ones “investigative” - then sure, that’s what it is. Despite PS1-inspired graphics being used overwhelmingly in this collection, I felt like here it was the least fitting – half the time I couldn’t tell what I was looking at. The only thing that is going for the game is as old as the world premise that could have been fun even if it’s overused, but the game would need to be longer than 10 minutes for this to happen. Alas! Spookware at the Videostore. A series of 10-15 second mini games that test your finger dexterity and reaction, aka extremely condensed QTE galore. Many seem to enjoy this, and I did not. I prefer to engage my brain rather than fingers. Aesthetics were adorable though. The only thing horror-y here is 3 skeletons deciding to celebrate Halloween by watching horror movies. Yes, it’s as cute as it sounds and not even remotely dreadful. Bubbo’s Adventures on Gerald’s Island Another platformer (and a collectathon) with controls that are step above the others in the collection, which makes them not perfect but good enough to enjoy the game. Cartoon/kiddie horror is mostly for the giggles, but at this point the H word is used so loosely in this Dread X that it’s no longer an issue of any kind. Pleasant in a throw-back way little game that will give you a solid hour or more of adventuring on the island of Gerald (a man with this kind of name can only be evil personified), and you’ll be locked in a one-on-one with him with your survival at stake. Of course, while making serious bank collecting all those conveniently placed coins. Chip’s Tips This is a silly joke of a game without being even remotely spooky (but it is spooPy, I suppose). A hidden object/ point’n’click mix with references to other Torple Dook’s games and a charming wiener dog -everything you ever wanted as a true horror connoisseur. Super short. Super wacky. Nothing to write home about but fits right in this collection. Which is to say that this installment of Dread X has a few prevalent ideas that can make or break your enjoyment from it. It is platformer-centric and cutesy/giggly horror-themed (in some cases calling it “horror” is a serious stretch), and it sacrificed the variety for a more uniform experience, which makes it a-OK in my book, but a step below previous collections, as I found the crazy diversity of horrors to be the collection’s main strength. Add unstable controls in many of the games and very similar visual style, and you’ll get a more middle-of-the-road Dread X collection that I (being a fan) enjoyed but wouldn’t recommend people to start with. Go with 1 or 2, see if you like those first then jump into this one, as you’ll be willing to make all kinds of excuses after you already liked the other parts, so this one will be written off as “entertaining enough”, and you’ll be getting the next one anyway.

The Dread X Collection 3 is honestly kinda awesome! I wouldn't really call this game really THAT scary, but rather it kinda just focusses on being charming and fun with a little spooky theme! Something it achieves very nicely with its hub world and the overall aesthetics of the game itself! The games themselves are all at the very least quality and all feel pretty polished without any like bad low lights like in DXC2. They're kinda fun to just play, blast through and experience and there's some gems in there too! Reviewing all the games individually...: Sato Wonderland Very strong visually and is GREAT at building it's short story and atmosphere but the ending changes the vibe of the game completely which wasn't my cup of tea. It's a good bite sized horror game though. Bete Grise Short and so very sweet. Incredible Artwork and Animations, so much charm and a simple but AWESOME twist halfway through. Soul Waste A funky platformer, with some combat mechanics. Visually quite strong and is honestly quite fun, but isn't tight at all to control and feels kinda directionless at times. It's more just turn your brain off and have fun rather than spooky. Chip's Tips You can pet the dog 100/10 THIS GAME IS SUCH A MEME, BUT IT'S SO WELL DONE?! AND IT'S ACTUALLY KINDA GOOD AT BUILDING UP DREAD?! WHY DO I ACTUALLY KINDA LOVE THIS ONE?! Submission Might be the most unsettling and genuinely kinda scary horror game of this collection. It nails it's atmospheric vibes, to cute, to unsettling, to downright terrifying, to edgy and awesome! It's a good experience and a perfect fit for this collection. F rick apples! Nice Screams at Funfair Extremely impressive with it's surreal visual style and environment, but the game itself is just a simple ice cream serving simulator. Good spectacle but could have more "game to it". SPOOKWARE @ The Video Store This game is AWESOME, Amazing artwork, fun writing for the opening cutscene, the music is jamming and the microgames are such a burst of fun. This game is so good for the 10 minutes that it got me to look into the other Spookware games! Bubbo: Adventure on Geralds Island A cute simple and lighthearted platformer, honestly reminds me of much a less polished and fleshed out cavern of Dreams. Not that serious, not scary at all really, just a fun collectathon. EDEN: Garden of the Faultless Really impressive aesthetically and raising your little pets is simple fun. Nothing really scary about this game, it's honestly more relaxing than anything. Matter Over Mind Adorable with some fun physics to play around with, nothing too deep. Just guide your jelly abomination to victory :D Reactor Really impressive and honestly a little bit of a sad story featuring a nice robo gf. The mostly monochromatic style is really well done and it's atmosphere is kinda top notch for what it goes for. Disparity Dead Probably my least favorite game of the collection? It's not awful, in fact the visuals are pretty charming to some extent, but the game kinda feels directionless? It doesn't really explain its mechanics all that well either so you waste time revisiting the same places over and over again once you finally figure out how everything works. Nothing really gets resolved either. It's polished I guess, but I didn't like it that much. Overall, a really solid collection of short spooky horror games! Honestly ended up preferring this to DXC2!

Not every game is worth finishing but if you like indie-horror even with a bit of jank this series of collections is really something special. Fantastic hub area designed by Akuma Kira really ties everything together with a cute story. Big upgrade to DX2 in terms of hub area and connecting story. HIGHLIGHTS: Sato Wonderland, Chip's Tips, Reactor, EDEN LOWLIGHTS: Nice Screams at Funfair, Soul Waste, Disparity of the Dead
