## About DreadOut

DreadOut, developed and published by Digital Happiness in 2014, is a third-person horror game in which the player's camera doubles as a weapon against ghosts. Built around ghost photography, exploration and puzzle-solving, it follows a female protagonist through supernatural, unsettling environments. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as creepy and tense, with monstrous spirits to capture on film. Built for sit-down solo sessions at a normal difficulty, it draws on Indonesian folklore for its scares. The game carries a Metacritic score of 55, is Steam Deck Playable, holds a 78% positive rating across 1,797 Steam reviews, and costs 14.99 USD. A fit for survival-horror fans who like investigation and atmosphere over direct combat.
