The Dread Out Universe is canon in the world of indie horror gaming. With over 1.5 million people braving its chilling landscapes, it’s a force to be reckoned with in the world of digital horror. What started with a viral sensation in 2013 has grown into a horror gaming phenomenon, captivating gamers, YouTubers, and streamers alike. Dread Out became Indonesia’s first global gaming hit that spawned a Netflix film of the same name, inspiring its successor Dread Out 2, and today DreadHaunt launches in the same universe to push the limits of fear!
So, what’s all the fuss about? Let’s break down the six things you need to know before jumping into this horror-filled world with DreadHaunt, now available on Xbox!
Unveil the Horror: DreadHaunt Now Available on Xbox
Brace yourself for a nightmare you won’t forget as DreadHaunt hits Xbox! Prepare to be thrown into the heart of a cursed island off the coast of Jakarta, where dark secrets lurk, and supernatural terrors abound.
Whether you’re a solo player ready to uncover the island’s gruesome past or someone who prefers to team up with friends, DreadHaunt offers a horrifying experience for every gamer. But beware: in multiplayer mode, the terror is even more unpredictable—one of your allies might just turn against you, possessed by sinister forces!
Here are the six key things you should know before you dive into DreadHaunt‘s terrifying world:
1. Multiplayer Madness
When you’re deep in the island’s mystery with your friends, trust is everything… until it isn’t. One of you might just become possessed, and then the real horror begins. Remember, if your friend suddenly goes quiet, something *bad* is about to happen.
2. Keep Friends Close, Enemies Closer
Teamwork is key in multiplayer mode—but always be wary. Sometimes, the greatest threat is standing right next to you.
3. Walk Softly, Avoid Detection
Spectros—otherworldly beings that stalk the island—can sense your movements. Walking instead of running might be the difference between staying safe or becoming the next victim.
4. Invisible Threats
In single player mode, not all dangers can be seen. Some Spectros are invisible, and you’ll need to use a UV blaster to detect and stun them before it’s too late.
5. Solve the Mystery
The UV blaster is not just for defense. Use it to uncover hidden messages that reveal key pieces of the island’s dark puzzle.
6. Arm Yourself
Your survival depends on being prepared. Don’t forget to equip your weapons and make sure they’re fully loaded—there’s no room for mistakes here!
With customizable characters, immersive storytelling, and an eerie atmosphere, DreadHaunt is the latest heart-pounding addition to the Dread Out Universe. It builds on the legacy started by Dread Out, the viral sensation that made history as Indonesia’s first global hit horror game. Now, with DreadHaunt, the terror continues, drawing in millions more to experience the fear firsthand.
