I’ve bought the bundle with all Dread X Collection Games in a sale for 90% off (or some value like that). After playing 1 (bad) and 2 (very good) I had high expectations for 3, excited that it may be even better! Only to discover that Dread X 3 isn’t like the others. This game isn’t really an Indie Game HORROR collection… its a more *Horror themed Cute games. But I don’t think this collection is bad. In fact, seeing as the Not-Horror collection, it’s quite charming. There are some pretty good games here... So, just like the others, let’s give a score to each one of them, so they all can be reviewed (in the order I played): >Disparity of the Dead< 10/10 - I’m amazed. This is the best game so far, and in my opinion in all the 5 Dread Xs. This game has amazing writing, strong enough to be its own thing. No, really, I wished this one was put on steam alone and faced great success. This feels like a complete game. It has a great art style, charming graphics with good art direction. The gameplay is very simple platformer, but you have to read the dialogues to solve clues while you gather soul energy. The slow burn is great, despite not really being a horror game (for most of the time) it had amazing drama writing. The ending is peak and so so well made. I’m speechless. My first pick was the best the entire series had to offer. Disparity of the Dead is a must play, it’s incredible. >Bubbo: Adventure on Geralds Island< 8/10 - I really liked this one. It feels like a Mario Sunshine creepy pasta. The game is a cute platformer collectathon about a cute guy that was stranded on an island after his boat crashed. As you do the platforming challenges and talk to the npcs, you start to feel the weirdness in their dialogue. They are hiding something and they are most likely a cult. This is such a good idea for a game, and I really liked the overall feel of playing a cursed version of a kids game. >EDEN: Garden of the Faultless< 4/10 - This feels like a Dread X 1 title. The graphics are cool but they weren’t really put to good use, as this game lacks art design and a distinct art style. It just feels like an old game jumble for the sake of "aesthetic". The gameplay is boring, despite the cute elements of raising your angel. There isn’t much here, It isn’t horror, it isn’t interesting, it isn’t very good. >Bete Grise< 7/10 - Incredibly charming 2D adventure game about a hotel keeper. The art style is amazing and so well made. I like the retro vibe and really digest the simple but effective gameplay. This is a very short one, 20 minutes at best, but it’s worth it and I wasn’t expecting the “horror” of it coming from where it came. >SATO WONDERLAND< 8/10 - This game feels very unique, it has a great story line that you must discover using its investigation mechanics. The visual identity is very strong and the writing is very good as well. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it. The only issue is that you must be willing to invest a lot by reading and knowing how to choose the right combination of words. It isn’t that hard tho, so I think it isn't too niched to be part of a collection. Banger ending. >Chip's Tips< 6/10 - I think this is the joke game. All the games have very light horror elements and more cutesy art styles. But this one stands out among the others as the traditional joke game that comes with the collections. The gameplay is simple, but it shines at being super charming. The literal pictures taken from the dog and the owner used for the graphics make it pretty funny. It’s a very charming experience, despite having light horror elements, it can’t be taken seriously and I don’t think it should. HOWEVER, the texture of the assets moves as you do, and this is very trippy and sickening. I didn’t like that, it hurt my eyes and head. >Matter OVER Mind< 6/10 - A cute little stealth game about an alien hijacking human bodies. It’s very short, it doesn’t overstay its welcome, but it isn’t very memorable either. I think it just lacks a truly engaging gameplay, as the visual identity is pretty neat. It’s worth a shot. >SPOOKWARE @ The Video Store< 8/10 - Incredibly charming Warioware like game. I really liked the art styles used and it had engaging elements. It’s halloween themed, but not really any horror… but it doesn’t feel like a joke entry, just a cute one. My main issue is that it isn’t very clear what you must do after a game shift and some are a little annoying. That being said, it is still a cute worthwhile experience. >Soul Waste< 6/10 - This is a combat platformer focused on speed (It feels like a combat focused sonic game). The vibes are all there, the graphics and art style match perfectly. I had a good time playing it, despite some segments being a little annoying to deal with. The “horror” comes from the setting, the desolate abandoned world you are playing in. The gameplay may annoy some, but I vibed with it, I liked it a lot in fact. >REACTOR< 7/10 - Reactor has a very distinct art style, it stands among the other games in this collection and I think it nails it pretty well. The gameplay it’s a little bland, but is short enough to be okay. The selling point is the writing, the atmosphere built leading to the horror. Yes, I feel like this may be one of the only real horror games here alongside Sato, Bete and the ending sequence of Disparity. It’s a very short experience, but it’s enjoyable and worth your time. >Submission< 8/10 - The idea behind this one is the best one for me, it’s so creative. It’s short and very much leaned to the fun side… enough to argue it may also be the “joke game”, but I don’t think so because it has enough horror elements to not be… even if it’s a little goofy. I really liked it, kinda a cool meta entry in the franchise. >Nice Screams at Funfair< 2/10 - This is an annoying , unnecessary entry. Starting with the best and ending with the worst left me with a distorted and warped vision of this collection, and it’s this game's fault. Annoying, surrealism done for shock value, unfun, bad. Don’t play this one. >Dread X 3 Hub World (Graveyard Castle)< 1/10 - After the bagging hub world from 2, I had high hopes for this one. The puzzles are all bad, the castle isn’t as cool as the house. The art style is… cute, I liked it. But the hub world has this long and boring dialogues between the mc and the virus Prometheus. This part sucked, I really disliked it. At least you can just play all the games first right? Well… this time you can’t solve all the puzzles first, you have to do them after FINISHING one of the games, so if you disliked one and didn’t want to finish… Well now you are stuck with it. Despite this (or because of it) the game added a Freeplay mode where you go straight to the games. But too little too late, I would rather have a better hub world or none at all instead of this mess. >>>Final review<<< This is a strange entry in the collection’s franchise. I had to judge this in a different way, not like spooky horror games… but as cute fun experiences designed around a halloweeny horror theme. That being said, some of the scores I gave may make this feels like the best entry for the consistency in the high scores, but if you play this wanting horror games, you're going to feel like you drove hours and hours and the destination was either never reached or closed by the time you arrived. The games in this collection are indeed very good, they felt very polished and with a clear purpose in mind. I guess it is just easier to not make horror games. I definitely recommend this one for Disparity of the Dead alone. But if you are interested, there are a couple of other google titles in this one. I wouldn’t say that it’s better than 2, just different. ALSO, JUST PLAY IN FREEPLAY, THE HUB WORLD SUCKS.

I left a very angry review originally because a couple of games in the collection are frustrating, but overall I still found it worth the cost of admission. Personally I hated everything about Soul Waste and it's one of the most frustrating games I've ever played, and I'll just leave it at that. Some of them, like Nice Screams at Funfair are a buggy, nearly unplayable mess that you'll want to rush through as quickly as possible. I did have high hopes for that one because it had some neat visuals in the beginning. Some people evidently like self-referential inside-jokey meta-humor a lot. Those people may love the third weakest, most lazily written entry, Submission. Chip's Tips, Bubbo, and to some degree Submission are takes on the haunted children's game genre or whatever. Meh, some people like that I guess. My personal standouts are Sato Wonderland, Bete Grise, EDEN, and Spookware. They had really interesting concepts or were just fun to play. The ones I didn't mention were enjoyable but not particularly memorable to me. I do feel the overall horror was light in the hub and the games. It wasn't as spooky. Overall, I got a good 6 or 7 hours out of Dread X 3! And 2-3 frustrating hours out of Soul Waste... I hate myself for wanting the achievements that badly.

I haven't played anything like this. Every game in this collection is fun and unique piece of art. if you are open to experiment with small (and a bit weird) indie games this is right choice! 10/10

Another fun Dread X collection, though this one tended much more toward the silly and whimsical than previous entries. Not a bad thing, just a different direction with its own good/bad to it. Going game by game, favorite to least favorite, starting with the hub you wander around in to get candles to play games. Hub Castle - Very different vibe to this one, feels like a less scary Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion. Maybe because it was popular when this was made? Anyway, the puzzles are a bit less intuitive this time around, but nothing terribly complex. The only annoyance was figuring out where to get the vacuum that literally 50% of the candles need for you to obtain. Otherwise it was a lot of wandering. I found it pretty easy to get lost, since it's substantially larger than the Dread X 2 house hub. Special mention favorably about the interactions between the protagonist and his erstwhile companion. I found their dialogue to be a good mix of funny, reassuring, and friendly. Submission - This one requires some trial and error, but I found it to be a great mix of scary and funny. Had moments where I was genuinely creeped out/startled, and also laughed out loud. The programming gimmick is a bit hard to figure out right at first, kind of wish it had had more direction on keywords you should use or a shortcut once you unlock a keyword. Otherwise, fun and freaky, which most of the other games weren't able to capture in such good balance. Reactor - Sort of a walking simulator, but I enjoyed the scenery and the odd story. It was barely creepy, but it did have some creep factor to it all the same. I don't usually like the space/sci-fi games, but this one is a notable exception. Bete Grise - This one is very... cutesy, I guess? But I also found that I was nervous while doing the somewhat repetitive minigames, especially the vending machine QTEs. By the way, if you find you're failing those consistently, try to hit the buttons the second they touch the left side of the entry circle; don't wait until they're right in the middle or you'll likely miss. Sato Wonderland - Unlocking the full story on this one was a challenge, but worth it. I enjoyed the unfolding story, but found it overall more tedious in execution than the other ones I liked more. Bubbo: Adventure on Geralds Island - One of many of the "Cutesy PSX/N64" entries of this collection, this one being more of the latter. Not bad controls, really, and straightforward enough. I don't feel strongly about this game one way or the other. Disparity of the Dead - Leaning more toward the PSX era of graphics and platforming, this one had a cool start and I liked the appearance more than Bubbo. However, the perhaps intentionally floaty controls and obtuse puzzle solutions were frustrating, especially figuring out the teleportation machine since the game doesn't do a good job of telling you to link clues together on the detective's storyboard. Once you do get into the machine the game has about two minutes left, and it felt like a quick write-up with surreal solutions to a story that should have gotten more attention start to finish. Eden: Garden of the Faultless - FF7 Chocobo racing with angels. Neat presentation and music, that's about it. Chip's Tips - Some cool creepy moments, but I didn't like the minimalist approach it took overall. More odd than scary. Soul Waste - N64 homage again, but with horrible controls. It constantly felt like I was on ice. I got the "good" ending, but it was a tedious process. Matter Over Mind - Terrrrrrrrrrrrible controls. Otherwise kind of cutesy and meh. Spookware at the Video Store - If you like WarioWare you'll probably enjoy this. I found it kind of funny, but also frustrating and annoying. Nice Screams at Funfair - Worst one by far. Horrible controls, ugly graphics and sound, unappealing from start to finish. I had about a 50% chance of picking a scoop of ice cream and placing it in a cone, or not scooping/dropping the whole scoop on the table.

This hub is not great, but it's mostly because of the writing. The dialogue was so cringe. But the actual games were (mostly) good. (In order from most liked to least liked) The Standouts: Chip's Tips Sato Wonderland Submission Disparity of the Dead The Decent: Eden: Garden of Fautless Spookware Bete Grise Matter Over Mind Reactor The bad: Soul Waste Bubbo Nice screams at the Funfair I am so fed up with the "make it look like crap" shader that all these games use. I would rather have bland graphics that look sharp than crappy jagged blurry textures. That trope needs to die asap.
