Our take on Dread X Collection 5
Rather than building one horror game around a single setting, this collection frames 12 separate games with an explorable party venue and a story connected to the wider Dread X universe.
What is Dread X Collection 5?
This horror anthology contains 12 games set in different unsettling situations, from an art gallery with disappearances to a haunted daycare and a late-night karaoke trip.
The games are framed by Outpost 3000, an alien-themed birthday venue where players can explore while following a new story in the Dread X universe. The collection’s themes include broken amusements, television, performances, and other forms of entertainment. Individual stories range from completing a midsummer ritual to investigating a sports center where children went missing and facing darkness in an old theater. The venue also features games to check out as the larger story unfolds.
