In this game we return as Linda into the abandoned town from the first game, i think it is between act 1 and 2. The atmosphere. I really like this expansion but also could have been an DLC for the first game. So create a extra game for it wasn't really needed. Buuut it is fun and scary anyways. So if you've enjoyed the first game you probably should by this as well. :3
Short standalone DLC for the original DreadOut that is supposed to take place between Act 1 and Act 2 of the game. The content itself feels quite condensed as the gameplay revolves around Linda exploring eight separate dimensions you can pick from a main hub. In these dimensions, which consist of small maps with mostly locations and assets from the original game, you have to find certain items to progress as well as...
DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark Genre: Horror / Supernatural, Folklore Perspective: 3rd Person My Rating: ⭐⭐🔹🔹🔹 💙Summary (TLDR): Sadly I can't recommend this "DLC" of Dreadout whereas the main-game was a gorgeous treat. This "DLC" was very boring to me personally as it's basically just a "shooter" or mercenaries-mode where you pew pew with a camera flash. It is not entirely bad but it wasn't anything special either...
