This one is kind of a disaster! Outpost 3000 is pretty bad, the comic seems pretty convoluted. How do you screw up just a kid alone and scared in a Chuck E Cheese? The puzzles there range from decent to really truly terrible and it just sort of looks ugly and cheap. Can't seem to decide whether it's about a voice stealing monster, aliens, a serial killer and a smushy monster that looks like an amalgamation of U-3 from Resident Evil 4 and Leapers from Dead Space.

I'd say I actively enjoyed Gallerie, We Never Left, Karao and Vestige the whole time I played them. Rotten Stigma was good but I wish it felt a bit more substantial. Beyond The Curtain has some really interesting stuff going on but it gets pretty repetitive. Everything other than that I wasn't super impressed with. Feels like the overall quality has gone down so far since DreadX2 which only had 2 bad games.

These are ranked from order I most enjoyed to least. (I didn't play Book Of Blood. I got to the book and the central puzzle seemed so nonsensical and obtuse I didn't even bother. Tried to even look at a guide to see what was happening and after reading that it still didn't make sense to me. Maybe it's actually an awesome puzzlebook but having to stop doing the same puzzle I don't understand to go turn on fuse boxes seems like a big waste of time. Charlotte's Exile this ain't)


Karao (Pretty fun, the song was good. Pretty bleak what the game is actually about though. Combat could be hard sometimes when you couldn't see well but never felt unfair. Wish there was a more fun or climactic final fight before the story reveal)

Gallerie (This one is good. The story, the vibe and everything sort of blends together to be really one of a kind. Its got a pretty good length and is just a stand out. The language minigame is pretty cool. Love the ASMR curator, it was really creepy and a cool idea. Third chapter feels a bit rushed however and the QTEs get old)

We never left (Really like this one! Cool vibe and was a lot of fun hearing more of the story. Kinda hoped you could survive somehow but it doesn't seem like it. If i had a complaint I guess I'd say it's a little bit silly compared to how serious it plays out, I saw the developer had never made a horror game before and that makes a lot of sense. Had a few technical issues but other than that it was a blast)


Vestige (Pretty good, I like the split between the motorcycle minigame and the house. The motorcycle game is actually pretty fun. Felt like FNAF mixed with an MX game. Enjoyed this one a lot though.)

Rotten Stigma (Pretty fun while it lasts but it's pretty short, it just kind of ends and the story is complete nonsense. Just made me wish I was playing Silent Hill)

Beyond the curtain (Really cool ideas and some nice attention to detail but can drag a lot in sections. Great sound design and music. The design was also pretty good but gameplay wise it was just a long walking simulator.)

Hunsvotti (Pretty good, really short but there's no need for it to be any longer. Nothing really wowed me but it was really solid.)

Ludomalica (Not sure how I feel about this one. One central idea that's pretty good in theory but in execution isn't fun at all. Some tense moments but it just isn't very good. Once you figure out the gimmick you basically just have to grin and bear it until the end)

Guardian Spirit (Generic outlast or amnesia style game but is fun enough. Basically just completed the assignment and that's it. If I was grading this it would be a D)

Resver (Some people might like this one but it wasn't for me, probably more cutscene than game time and it sort of hinges on weird visuals which I didn't find interesting. Other people might like this more though.)

Interim (Offensively bad, the worst thing ever in a dreadX collection. Almost seems like a parody, it's got bad design, FMV, terrible acting, a pretentious plot that seems to think it "means something" but is actually saying nothing. It's also inexplicably an episode of The Twilight Zone for some reason? The writing is atrocious and nothing happens but walking until you have to do a poorly implemented physics puzzle to escape a giant eye. Almost gave up during that because of how bad it felt but i kept trucking through. Truly a miserable experience and I'm not being hyperbolic when I say it's probably the worst thing I've ever played. There is no value here.)


Sad to see this might be the last DreadX. This one was a misstep but I still feel like this series is uniquely important to horror and helping horror publishers get out there while earning some cash. Really hope they find a way to continue in some capacity.

Really enjoyed this! Lots of fun concepts and interesting stuff. 10 of the games are pretty solid with "The Thing in the Lake" being dreadful and "Another Late Night" being short and dull. Everything else is definitely worth playing and I enjoyed it immensely.

THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST GAME EVER MADE I LOVE IT SO MUCH. ONE PIECE IS AMAZING AND HAS THE BEST SOTRY AND CHARACYTERS AND I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH I CANT EVEN STAND IT PLEASE EVERYONE JUST SEND ME ONE PIECE RELATED THINGS TO MASTRUBATE TO BEAUSE I JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE ONE PIECE SO MUCH
