Our take on DreadOut: Keepers of The Dark
Players who prefer a fixed route may bounce off the door-based progression: the order of opened doors affects Linda’s fate, while the realms can be tackled nonlinearly. Those expecting combat alone may also hit a wall when puzzles become necessary to continue her escape.
What is DreadOut: Keepers of The Dark?
Linda is transported into the Mirror Realm, a portal connecting 8 haunted dominions where more than 13 ghosts await.
Players choose which doors to open, and those choices affect Linda’s fate as she seeks a way out. The game presents exploration in third person and ghost battles in first person. A smartphone and SLR camera are part of the journey, while puzzles obstruct Linda’s escape. The nonlinear structure allows progress through 8 or more supernatural realms. This standalone chapter adds 2 new levels, a new storyline, and further details about Linda’s journey within the DreadOut universe.
