Against all common sense, everyone follows him. However, after she takes a wrong turn, the group end up in front of a barricaded and broken bridge.Įven though the sensible thing to do would, of course, be to get back into the car and drive in the opposite direction as quickly as possible, one of the boys finds a broken fence and a route around the bridge. Set in Indonesia, you play as a teenager called Linda Melinda who is on a school trip with several of her classmates and their teacher Miss Siska. Needless to say, this review may contain some SPOILERS and DISTURBING IMAGES. Seriously, it’s so cool to see a modern low-budget indie game that actually has sensible system requirements 🙂 Plus, the game is only a relatively small 4.3 gigabyte download too 🙂 Since I’m using Intel HD 2500 integrated graphics, I instinctively lowered the resolution slightly but the game ran well regardless. Plus, on a side note, I have to praise this game’s low system requirements 🙂 Yes, I have a vaguely modern (well, circa 2012/13) refurbished ex-office PC these days, but it’s so cool to see a horror game that will run on pretty much anything. Apparently, there’s a DLC/sequel that isn’t included though. I should point out that the DRM-Free GOG version of this game contains Acts 1 & 2 of the game, plus the shorter and self-contained “Act 0” demo too.
Still, since I was in the mood for survival horror games and because my third attempt at playing “Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare” (2001) had come to a screeching halt thanks to an annoying ( and potentially game-breaking) bug… again… and since “DreadOut” had been reduced to about a quid, I decided to take a chance on it. I’d heard about this game before and was uncertain whether I’d enjoy it or not, since it was heavily inspired by the “Project Zero”/”Fatal Frame” games and I have a very clear memory of playing one of these games back in the day and genuinely being too scared to play any more of it after a few minutes. Well, during a small shopping spree during the Winter sale on GOG last year ( mostly to distract myself from feeling bad about my computer not being powerful enough to run “Cyberpunk 2077”), I stumbled across a low-budget survival horror game from 2014 called “DreadOut”.
