What players say
Dreadout is an indie horror game with a lot of charm. Even though it came out in 2014 it feels much older than that - but despite this the charm makes up for it. If you can stomach the minor jank, this game is pretty fun. Besides one killer on DbD I'm unaware of much Indonesian horror lore that you can experience within gaming. It's very interesting and unique. I will say there are some notable technical issues...

Although the clues aren't as helpful and you can't basically do shi unless you search it up on Google or YouTube (or I just might be an idiot) it is very fun to play and there are jumpscares that made me wanna watch a kids show but it is what it is. 9/10
After 3 hours I have delt with bug after bug of this game, my saves are deleting themselves and when I managed to fix it I was thrown into a corner and stuck, the game has 0 direction I feel. Its really sad I had this experience I was so excited to play this game.
