| Dreadout Keepers of the Dark |
DreadOut is a third-person psychological survival
horror game that uses mechanics similar to those found in the Fatal Frame series, with a modern twist. The
player character, Linda, uses modern gadgets, such as smartphones and digital
video cameras, to interact with (or fend off) various kinds of Indonesian
mythical ghosts, and to help her solve various puzzles in a deserted town. When
Linda dies in the game, she awakens in darkness surrounded by candles with a
bright light in the distance. By running towards the light, Linda will come
back to life. The game features both third and first-person control
schemes, with the player navigating environments with a standard
over-the-shoulder perspective. If the player decides to use their digital
camera to photograph something, they enter a first-person perspective to see
through Linda's equipped camera. A recent preview video shows a tablet version
of the game, where the player controls Linda via the touch screen.
