Dreadout | Full Game Walkthrough | No Commentary
109Dreadout was a game released by a small Indonesian development team and that alone was enough to gather some interest amongst gamers. It would be a horror game that dealt with spirits which you could face off against using your camera. A lot of people immediately compared it to the Fatal Frame series, but the notion of using Indonesian folk lore as its base would hopefully be enough to justify Dreadout's existence.
I personally really love Dreadout 2 but was not a big fan of the first game. I'm glad we get to archive it for the history books, but I mostly played it to showcase the story in preparation for Dreadout 2. Dreadout 1 also has not aged that well. The graphics are pretty bad (which they already were back in the day) and gameplay and movement is pretty clunky. There is also a weird stuttering going on which seems to happen with a lot who play this. I tried looking up footage from other YouTubers and many had to deal with that same stuttering.
The only redeeming quality of the game are indeed the various Indonesian ghosts you meet along your journey as they differ greatly in terms of their looks and abilities. But more importantly: now that we have archived Dreadout 1 we can go ahead and play Dreadout 2!
