April 2025
This is a mixed bag but largely I enjoyed it and there's some really cool stuff on display. First, the duds: - Rotgut is the worst thing on the comp. It's not even that it's ugly, sounds bad, feels terrible to play, is obnoxiously slow, pretentious, fake deep, and designed to actively annoy and waste the player's time, it's that none of the above and nothing in the game feels like it was done with any effort or heart whatsoever to boot. I don't say this stuff lightly. I'm pretty chill with my reviews, and I'd cut any dev slack if they only have a week to make a game, but Rotgut is way beyond that. I can't think of a single redeeming thing about it and legit I think the dev should be ashamed of it and DreadXP should get their money back. - Mr Bucket Told Me to is a distant second behind Rotgut but that doesn't mean I got into it. If you dig survival mechanics and "quirky horror" you might like this? For me seeing a poop meter whether taking the piss or not is a bridge I won't travel for any dev let alone one who from the tone of the writing really REALLY thinks they are a lot wittier than they actually are. - Carthanc is a really neat setting and cool idea but then the devs I guess put a bunch of timed platforming and chase sequences which lead to deaths and having to redo a lot of your progress and it becomes not very fun pretty fast. To be a bit more fair, your mileage may vary on this one because if you get on with the controls and like a challenge it might be a lot of fun, but not for me. - Don't Go Out just feels like... ok, so you know how some game designers/devs are really into the whole """academia""" side of design? So like, they brainstorm all these weird ideas that may or may not be fun (spoiler they are rarely fun) that they think are so deep and layered (spoiler again: usually half-baked and shallow) and feel really smart because they think its unique (more spoilers: it usually isn't and has been done better somewhere else). Then they build a prototype and it sucks and is no fun, but unfortunately like, you can't ever make them realize they suck at this because to them they just say something like "well it's SUPPOSED to be frustrating" or "it's an experiment!"? Yeah, that's this game. The goods: - Pony Factory is great. Also scary and dark as hell. Not much to say it just works in every sense of the word and keeps it simple. - Shatter is magnificent, but then again atmospheric first person games with light puzzle solving and an emphasis on exploration and world-building are my jam. Still keeping fingers crossed the devs come back to it and flesh it out, but at least we have Dread Delusion. - The Outsiders took me by surprise with how much it freaked me out (at least at first - not a strike against it, if you play it you'll see what I mean) and also intrigued me with its core loop and premise. I'm not nuts about time limits but this was a really neat spin on the home intruder puzzle box type setup. - The Pay is Nice is a really evocative and enticing premise and at least initial setup with some neat twists and a lack lustre ending. But I think the vibe is strong enough that I don't mind that so much. Another that would be really neat to see fleshed out. - Hand of Doom is metal as hell! Outside of a turn speed that is too slow this was just good clean spooky fun. Looking forward to trying the completed game! - Summer Night is a ton of fun and really took me back to my childhood with the LCD tiger electronics style gameplay. Also scared the crap out of me. Great use of sound design. All in all some real lows but also some highs. Excited to try out the other DreadXP collections to see how they all stack up.

Dread x is a collection of small indie horror games made in 7 days. I briefly wrote a review of every game. Summer night Lcd game made into a terrifying horror game. One of the highlights. The pay is nice. Forgettable game which just ends when you think it's starting to get good. Carthanc Another banger game. You explore a tomb and do a bit of puzzle solving. Mr bucket told me to Survival game with a funny theme. Hand of doom Game made to look like a dos game. The old d&d vibe makes it's scary and it's an another highlight. The pony factory At first I judged it by the name but the visuals and fast fps action makes it great. Outsiders Game where you roam aimlessly and die. Not good. Shatter Please make this into a full game it has so much potential. Looks good, interesting world and good atmosphere. Rotgut Runs bad and feels unfinished. Don't go out Pixelated strategy game which can be beaten in 5 mins. The collection does what it promises and I think most games are good fun experiences. pick this up.

Collection was pretty fun, probably a 7/10 overall. Fairly wide variety of subgenres of horror. No major spoilers mostly just numbers for the individual games (note; by "very short" I mean it took me less than 20 minutes to complete): Summer Night 9/10 (I would love a full version of that even with the horror elements taken out) The Pay is Nice 4/10 (Very short and not much happened in my playthrough) Carthanc 2/10 (Not very scary and the platforming was annoying) Mr. Bucket Told Me To 5/10 (Not very scary, but had pretty good gameplay, just kinda fun weird) Hand of Doom 8/10 (Fairly unique gameplay at least nowadays, one of the few I'd like a full version of) Pony Factory 7/10 (Fairly creepy, not insanely difficult, strange story I'd like to see more of to get a better picture) Outsiders 2/10 (Fairly creepy but quite annoying in the latter half, and the ending was too obvious, at least to me) Shatter 7/10 (Relatively unique style (although probably less so nowadays) not too interesting gameplay and very short) Rotgut 1/10 (Easily the worst because absolutely nothing happened, scary or otherwise) Don't Go Out 4/10 (Nice art and neat gameplay mechanics however they're poorly utilised)

Little messy across all the games but in the end, they're micro games made for fun. Pony Factory is still my favorite of all of them.

Nice anthology of horror games. Heres my opinion on them: > CARTHANC · Duration: Short if you know what to do · Gameplay: A bit confusing and frustrating (the platforming sections sucks), the lack of lights makes it harder that it should be. · Story: if had one, didnt understood it > THE PAY IS NICE · Duration: Short · Gameplay: Basic and kinda weird for a "walking simulator" · Story: Tries to be scary and deep, but didnt get me > SUMMER NIGHT [👍] · Duration: Short · Gameplay: Cool and Scary with so little · Story: Nicely developed > ROTGUT · Duration: idk it bugged and popped out the achievement when falling from the map · Gameplay: Slow and buggy · Story: idk, didnt played it > DONT GO OUT [👍] · Duration: Short (sadly) · Gameplay: Super interesting, would love to see the idea expanded · Story: Almost > OUTSIDERS · Duration: Mid · Gameplay: A bit confusing, had to look for a guide to understand the game. Didnt like the randomness of item spawn · Story: Nice twist, kinda predictable > MR BUCKET TOLD ME NOT TO · Duration: Short · Gameplay: Nice, but confusing, once you understand the mechanics (the toilet paper specially) its nice · Story: Creeepy > SHATTER · Duration: Short · Gameplay: Basic but slow (you can upgrade the speed but when you are able to, the game its basically over) · Story: Loved the world built with such a short game > THE PONY FACTORY · Duration: Short · Gameplay: Basic FPS, but creepy due to the darkness · Story: Cool creepy idea > HAND OF DOOM [👍?] · Duration: Short · Gameplay: Super interesting, I have to check the completed game, cause I dont know if it would work on a longer game (specially seeing you have to stay still to cast spells) · Story: Nice setting
