This remastered collection brings together two terrifying tales from the DreadOut universe. These titles offer both nostalgia for long-time fans and an accessible entry point for newcomers to experience Indonesian horror through fresh lenses. With updated visuals and enhanced gameplay for modern platforms, the collection is a celebration of Southeast Asian horror storytelling at its finest.

DreadOut

The original DreadOut centers around a group of high school students whose field trip takes a dark turn. After veering off course, they discover a forgotten Indonesian town—abandoned, eerie, and filled with supernatural forces. As the students unravel the town’s secrets, players experience intense jump scares, cryptic puzzles, and a story inspired by local mythologies. The protagonist, Linda, uses her smartphone camera to combat and survive the ghostly encounters.

DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark

In this standalone companion, Linda once again steps into danger—this time within the Mirror Realm. Accessible through a cursed portal, this dimension is split into eight haunted domains, each one home to a unique ghost and mystery. The gameplay is more focused on combat and confrontation, building on the foundations of the first title while delivering a series of escalating horrors.
