About This Game

Horror, at its core, is primal. You don't need a multi-million dollar design budget or advanced realtime bullet physics to make something scary. You just have to have an idea that is raw, and the honesty to execute it.

P.T. perfectly illustrates this point. It takes place entirely in one hallway. It didn't have complicated AI. There weren't a dozen characters to design and model. Hell, there weren't even that many scares. And it was absolutely terrifying. It distilled the concepts of the ill-fated Silent Hills into a dense moment of terror. It was its own compact experience, and a glimpse into something much more.

Many games have tried to imitate P.T. in content. A million spooky hallways with a trillion collectible notes. Some of these are fantastic. But what about that concept? To distill your dream project into something condensed, raw, and real?

That was the question posed to 10 brilliant creators. Make a P.T. for the horror project of your dreams. Both a game on its own, and a window into a much larger world. Make it raw. Make it real. Make it a reflection of your own fears. Make it in just 7 days.

And they did. This is the Dread X Collection.

Some fun stuff in here but it feels like a bunch of demos for sure. Still recommend, just don't expect full experiences (for the most part). 10. Don't Go Out - It's a turn based game where you just run away from stuff for several turns to win. Nothing else to it. 9. The Pay Is Nice - Really really cool vibe and I'd be interested in seeing more, but the gameplay is walking, reading, and moving sliders. 8. Carthanc - Some puzzle solving and (imo) fun platforming in rooms that are just way too dark. Needs a bit more time in the oven but has some cool ideas. 7. Shatter - Probably the coolest world and story out of all of them, but just incredibly short. I'd play more for sure. 6. Rotgut - For all my complaining about walking, this one is the worst offender. That being said, there's something incredibly off putting about this game that I dig. 5. Mr. Bucket Told Me To - Mess with the movement system and make the map a bit smaller and this is a pretty neat little experience. That's all I'll s...
