    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. pros: - not bad for a starting company
    - quite scary for some momment
    - a variety of ghost characters& nice design
    - nice main&side characters design
    - nice environment
    - some unexpected plot twist
    - graphics is ok

    cons: - only able to sprint at fixed momment
    - slow running speed
    - no stamina bar
    - no chat log
    - no cutscene viewer
    - need more horror elements

    follows fatal frame style, using camera to "attack" ghosts.
    act 1 is ok but there must be a reason that they stop at the school. I mean there are wandering in some sort of ghost town (like the on in silent hill), and then they suddenly just like "hm,i should check this building out"
    OST is ok but still require improvement
    environment is also quite ok

    and for act 2, i'm pretty sure that 90% people wont go back into that building after being thru all those stuffs,so i assume maybe get out of town is the logic ending but i presume another ending is the devs choice

    finally, i think this game is ok and worth a try if you really like horror game with different style    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute **** Cliche in every way possible, things happen at random, to find things you have to take pictures of the most random thing (aka the hanging bodies to find the keys and you can't pick up the keys without that picture), no explanation, unfitting ending music, I could go on. This game is terrible in every possibly way.… Expand

    A cheap rip off of a all time favorite Japanese horror franchise.
    Let me start off with:
    The story is plain and unoriginal. DreadOut follow close to every poorly scripted cheesy horror film setting of a group of people that's destine to be stuck out there in the woods. The first 10 minutes of the game feels exactly like the game's title, DREADED OUT and unnecessary, the voice acting and    A cheap rip off of a all time favorite Japanese horror franchise.
    Let me start off with:

    The first 10 minutes of the game feels exactly like the game's title, DREADED OUT and unnecessary, the voice acting and dialogue is extremely cringe and could be done better.
    The characters is not memorable at all and can be easily forgotten once your done with the game.
    Bad, slow controls can be a ted iffy and annoying most times esp running off from a untouchable, most-annoying-shrieking boss ghost. As you play further into the game, the scare factor quickly becomes old and which can be quite aggravating. The graphic is old and close to a PS2 quality, not everything is intractable in the game. And anything that IS intractable is the puzzles, the batteries, dairies and items and that's it.
    For the price of a undeveloped game, it sure feels expensive.    … Expand

    The tension and weirdness was cool at first and the scary girl was very frightening. Jumpscares got me every time.
    Then when I finally started progressing i had no idea what to do and kept getting killed then going to limbo, came back out and immediately killed again. Now just running and picture taking. I think i'm going to have to just find a walkthru just to get thru this stuff which is no fun. I liked the creepineess and isolation and despair at the beginning...the girl wakes up somewhere, taken from where she was and is tormented by the girl ghost... but then you HAVE to give me more story and let me progress through. At least there is a cute kitty tho.    … Expand

    For the first time I meet the game in this genre, where you need to literally zaklikivat enemies camera and still manages to run and Dodge. Plus, it gets weird in the office, when you turn sharply and you have to restore on the new. The beginning of game strange. but expensive in company through the village to school can stir interest, but everything is empty. Wander around the school, get out of it, then again school, forests, try to understand what you need and when to do, and even at a certain angle or several times, generally rotten, but still constantly in your face shoved these disgusting faces of enemies, in some game than, it is better than their counterparts, but in itself dull and boring.
    Впервые встречаю игру в этом жанре, где нужно в буквальном смысле закликивать врагов фотоаппаратом и еще умудрятся бегать и уворачиваться. Плюс ко всему начинаются странности в управлении, когда ты резко поворачиваешься и приходится наводить по новой. Начало игры странное. но дорого в компании по деревне до школы может подогреть интерес, но все оказывается пустышкой. Бродим по школе, выбираемся из нее, потом снова школа, леса, попробуй понять, что нужно и когда сделать, да еще и под определенным углом или несколько раз, вообщем тухло, да еще постоянно тебе в лицо сунут эти отвратительные рожи врагов, в каком - то игра чем, то лучше своих собратьев, но сама по себе уныла и скучна.    … Expand

    Купил эту игру, потому что мне она напомнила очень классную, атмосферную страшилку под названием "Fatal Frame 3" игра в не на PS2, вот мне показалась эта игра похожей, решил купить. Зря. Игра просто дубовая, не понятная, я бы даже сказал без сюжетная.

    This second and final act shows way less care for details if compared to its predecessor, and it's a true shame.

    A Project Zero-like experience with poor visuals and animations, but good puzzle design and great atmosphere.

    The developers split DreadOut into two parts, and the first half is frustratingly short. It will take you 2-3 hours tops, and that’s only because the game sometimes forgets to tell you when an interactive object is nearby, forcing you to run in circles looking for it.
