As the second game made by Digital Happiness it is really acceptable and good and I really liked the idea of ​​this game. The Dread franchise has the potential for a great horror game. If you think you are very brave but you are really scared, don't come to these games just to say I am brave (like someone told me to install this game and sit next to me in a dark room at night and play) But if you have experience before, this game will only scare you the first time Most of the bugs and glitches are related to Act 2 or the school stage, where the shutter lag is the only thing that bothers you throughout the game. The pre-school part where you have to cross the bridge and go to the school is designed in such a way that you think the game has bugs/glitches, one of the reasons for that is the dry and lifeless environment and animations. There are fights and boss fights with the camera that sometimes have to be done with a certain rhythm or else you will die many times. This fighting without cold or hot weapons was one of those good ideas that made it different from other games. Although it has some flaws, including short gameplay, it has tried to be balanced in all parts of the game.

Game is buggy for sure, but it was made with a lot of soul and a genuine love for the survival horror genre. Plus im also just a sucker for folklore in my horror games. Highly recommend as a good first playthrough experience. You can finish it in about 6 hours so its fairly short, and regarding the bugs, it appears the game is getting a remaster soon, and that may deal with them, so if you dont want it in its current state, wait for that, but do play this if you like survival horror

One of my favorite horror games ever. It's so unique in its gameplay and atmosphere. A great introduction to Indonesian folklore. The only things that bother me are the camera angles and sometimes enemies can stun lock. I would recommend this game if you like playing horror games.

This smartphone not only has the ability to seal evil spirits but also features a battery that lasts all day, even if you keep the flashlight on. It boasts an autofocus function that captures moving subjects without any blur (though it lacks burst mode and video recording capabilities) and has robust durability, withstanding rolling, dropping, and submersion in water. However, it seems to be missing what might be the most important feature: navigation. Haha!
