Steam review snapshots
There are fights and boss fights with the camera that sometimes have to be done with a certain rhythm or else you…Although it has some flaws, including short gameplay, it has tried to be balanced in all parts of the game.In summary: DreadOut is a horror game that punches you in the face with its atmosphere, and then lightly slaps you about…(That gets kinda fixed in the 2nd game thoght.) [h3]Limited Replay Value: [/h3] Once you've completed the game and experienced the story…Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure filtered by weird, single-player.
