July 2025
This was honestly a lot of fun and I can see how it technically ties into Squirrel Stapler and Butcher's Creek with some blink and you miss it references. I will have to check out Iron Lung and Dusk in the future, but this was a very nice run and gun horror game. My only critique is that there needs to be more medkits in that final boss fight room. There's also differing difficulty levels and honestly I wonder what mine was set up on because the boss in the end was like a bullet sponge. This was a lot of fun and i highly recommend for something short and simple.

It's essentially the same as it was in the DreadX collection, but with some minor improvements. If you liked it there, you may also like it in standalone form here

if you remember this from Dread X Collection 1, then yes this is the same game except they expanded it further to make up for it with added boss fight at the end for normal mode and additional four extra modes, they also included classic mode if you want to revisit the original dread x version anytime you want.

Fun 30-minute action-horror game. Not really worth the asking price in my eyes, but it's fun. 6.5/10 Yes baby • Awesome and unique gritty artstyle • Fun gameplay • Cool story • Decent variety in difficulties/modes • Enemy design is top-tier Bogus • Way too short for $4 • Is not very scary, the game makes no attempts to be a horror game outside of the enemy design • Game could've benefited so greatly from just more content. It feels like a demo that could be great if there were more areas, game-time, enemies, weapons, etc

Love the real passion driven development, fueled from inspirations of the past that I have also experienced. Have never had a bad time playing any of these devs games. What David Szymanski does in regards to games is the exact same thing I want to do. Seriously admirable. Would recommend every single game he's put out.
