What is Dread X Collection 2?

This single-player collection contains 12 short horror games with different visual styles and ways to play, including first-person segments. You start locked in a room with a TV, then find keys and solve puzzles to unlock games stored on videotapes. You can skip the interactive hub and select the games directly.

For you if...

  • +you like sampling different kinds of short horror games
  • +you enjoy solving puzzles between separate games
  • +you seek Lovecraftian and psychological horror

Not for you if...

  • you want one continuous game rather than brief experiments
  • you prefer games without unsettling horror themes

What players say
