Therefore, it’s of no surprise that the protagonist Linda is a high school girl who is also equipped with a camera. Since Valentine Day 2015 – an odd date for a horror game – the complete game is finally available, so a closer look at the result is in order.ĭreadOut is deeply inspired by the Fatal Frame series, in which young girls armed with nothing but an old magic camera make their way through haunted traditional Japanese environments. This should explain why DreadOut was off to a rough start – only the smaller of two acts was released in 2014, with loads of bugs and compatibility problems, followed by questionable updates that sometimes removed existing features. DreadOut practically would be the country’s first fully realized 3D adventure game for PCs, and also the first commercial game by Digital Happiness. Digital Happiness is from Indonesia, a land where the game industry is utterly dominated by thoroughly profit-oriented smartphone and Facebook type games. Back when Digital Happiness pitched DreadOut on Indiegogo in 2013, it felt like the ideal use of the crowd funding way, enabling voices we wouldn’t ever hear from otherwise, from places we rarely hear of in the context of video games, to realize their ideas.
