About
DreadOut Remastered Collection is the definitive compilation of the acclaimed Indonesian supernatural horror series. Players step into the shoes of Linda Melinda, a high school girl with latent spiritual powers, who gets trapped in an abandoned town filled with dangerous, malevolent entities. Utilizing only her smartphone or digital camera, Linda must capture images of these terrifying creatures to battle them and unravel the dark mysteries surrounding her disappearance and the origins of the town's haunting.
This collection includes the original classic DreadOut (and its expansion 'Keepers of the Dark') and the larger, more ambitious sequel, DreadOut 2. The games brilliantly blend traditional third-person survival mechanics with unique ghost photography combat, drawing heavily on rich Indonesian mythology to create unique, unsettling antagonists like the sinister Kuntilanak, the hopping Pocong, and the creepy Tuyul. DreadOut 2 notably expands the gameplay, introducing exploration elements similar to traditional RPGs and incorporating limited melee combat alongside the primary camera mechanism, offering a complete and modernized horror experience.

User Reviews
- DreadOut succeeds brilliantly where many Asian horror games falter. It's truly terrifying, largely thanks to the cultural authenticity of the ghosts. The camera mechanic is perfectly executed.
- The remastered collection is the best way to jump into this series. Linda's story is engaging, and the shift in gameplay focus in DreadOut 2 keeps things fresh without losing the horror roots.
- Incredibly atmospheric and unnerving. If you enjoyed Fatal Frame, this is a must-play. Digital Happiness nailed the feeling of isolation and dread.
- The lore is deep, and the scares are earned. The switch between exploration and sudden confrontations keeps you on edge throughout both games.
- A unique cultural horror experience. It's educational regarding Indonesian spirits while delivering genuine jumps and chilling moments. 10/10 for atmosphere.
