Ghosts are afraid of social media The game is very scary. Lady in red true face in mirror is the most terrifying of all. The plot twist at the end of the story is brilliant. Some of the 'boss ghosts' were really frightening. The best thing is, the game won't give you any sorts of hints. You have to figure out the puzzles by yourself. All in all I enjoyed it and recommend it to play late at night to get real feel haha the environment was very scary! I like this game :)
Hmmm…i don’t really know how to feel about this game. i first played DreadOut when i was younger, a few years back, and i remember it leaving a strong impression on me at the time. but when i replayed it recently, i felt honestly disappointed and it reminded me why something about it always felt a bit off. But this time i played it with a family member, and even though we both agreed it was disappointing and a bit drawn out at times, we still had out moments of laughter and shared reactions that made the experience a bit more enjoyable and memorable in its own way. The game follows a girl named linda and her classmates who end up getting into a car accident and discover an abandoned town. What starts off as a normal trip slowly turns into something much darker, as the place reveals itself to be haunted by spirits. Linda becomes the one you control, using her phone and later an slr camera to fight off these supernatural entities. Along the way, you’re introduced to her best friend ira, who gets separated from the group as everything falls apart. eventually, she becomes lost to the spirits, which adds a heavier emotional layer to the story. in my personal opinion, the game feels very inspired by Fatal Frame, almost like it’s trying to follow in its footsteps or recreate a similar experience. because of that, it sometimes feels less original and more like a version of something i’ve already seen before. The storyline itself didn’t really land for me. it felt confusing at times, like you’re often unsure where you’re supposed to go or what exactly the game wants from you. But if you’ve played games like fatal frame like me, you’ll probably adapt quickly, on what to do and where to go….but thats all from my knowledge of Fatal Frame. Dont get me wrong the Boss fights were fun and intense, but there just wasnt much lore to take in. The ending also didnt satisfy me, i personally didnt like the ending it felt sudden, almost rushed and incomplete??? Like the story built up atmosphere and ideas but didn’t completely deliver on them. still, it is a relatively short and easy game, and it can be enjoyable if you’re just looking for a quick horror experience or a few jumps. After finishing the game we wanted to play DreadOut 2, but after how the first game left us feeling, we honestly couldn’t really bring ourselves to finish it. At the start of DreadOut2 though honestly did seem more better but i was left running around for a while because of how confused i was where to go. i’m not completely disagreeing to play this game. i think it has its moments, and it clearly has passion behind it but for me, it just feels a bit unpolished, somewhat rushed in a way and too close to in idea to Fatal Frame…when nothing can be compared to that beautiful game. in the end, it feels like a game that had potential and atmosphere, but didnt fully shape itself into something complete. Still have a go at playing it, just be aware of what youre about to get yourself into. but thank you Digital Happiness! ۶ৎ
