About
You find yourself locked in a small room illuminated only by the hazy glow of a single TV. Around you are a collection of tapes, trapped within steel coffins. A strange statue looms in the shadows. An unknown voice breaks the silence. It tells you to check the top of the VCR for a key. You pick it up. You use it to unlock one of the metallic cases. Inside is a tape. You pop the tape into the VCR. Can you survive what happens next?
The Dread X Collection 2 follows in the footsteps of the first Dread X Collection. This time we've gathered 12 incredible indie devs and given them just 10 days to realize all new visions of terror. The inspiration this time around was LOVECRAFTING. Does that mean all Lovecraft monsters? Does that mean a crafting game? Does it mean crafting love in a romantic visual novel? You'll just have to play to find out.
Step into a world of darkness and discover the secrets you didn't know were right beneath the surface. Get ready to explore 12 horror games made in 10 days that lead up to a narrative experience you didn't expect in Dread X Collection 2. Find the tapes and unlock the mystery inside.

Dans la continuité de Dread X Collection, ce deuxième titre propose une sélection de jeux encore plus grande et toujours avec cette variété de gameplay qui m'a fait apprécier l'opus précédent. De plus, on a ici un hub plus travaillé que le miroir auquel on avait droit. J'aime beaucoup le principe de résolution d'énigmes afin de pouvoir débloquer le jeu de notre choix. C'est plutôt simple mais franchement réussi. Les jeux sont à nouveau inégaux en qualité mais je ne me suis pour autant jamais lassé. Il ne faut pas non plus oublier que les développeurs ont eu un délai de 10 jours ce qui force le respect quand on voit le résultat final.
На відміну від першої частини тут я однозначно можу сказати, що не раджу цю антологію. Чи то занадто артхаус, чи то занадто лавкрафтіанщіна, котрої я не фанат, чи то просто більшість з представленого уг, але для мене найцікавішим було блукати маєтком та шукати ключі, ніж проходити оте все, що ті ключі відкривали. Можу відмітити хіба що Touched by an Outer God. Такий собі класичний арена-шутер, тільки в боді-горор стилістиці. Зі скрипом на серці ще можу згадати The Diving Bell. Ну і Solipsis, чисто по фану. Все інше – мимо.
I really like this. it's a fun concept. All the little puzzles in the house are simple and enjoyable so it doesn't feel like a hassle to unlock all the games. I like the range of games too. Their were a few types of games that I wasn't super familiar with playing but it was nice trying them. They're small experiences so even if you don't particularly enjoy one, you won't be there for too long.
A pretty fun little collection. A bit more complete than the first but instead of all the games just being alright, this one really has some high highs and some low lows. 12. The Toy Shop - Had some bits that were cool but was a bit drawn out and jank for what it was. 11. To The End of Days - Just wasn't a huge fan of this one, wish I had something a bit more constructive to say. 10. Another Late Night - Dug the narrative they were trying to do but there's just zero gameplay. I am a desktop simulator sucker tho, so that got it some bonus points. 9. The Diving Bell - Again, really like the atmosphere and narrative but the gameplay is walking back and forth and mashing your keyboard. 8. The Thing In The Lake - Starts to feel more like a chore than anything once you crack the gimmicks for each enemy. Love the art style though, and love World of Horror. 7. Undiscovered - Like the vibe but the camera actually made me nauseous. Fix that and we're golden. 6. Touched By An Outer God - Decent gameplay loop that I could see going way further with some more enemy types and varied maps. 5. Charlotte's Exile - Would for sure play a longer full release of this. Lost some points because one jump scare was so loud I thought I was going to lose my hearing forever. 4. Arcadletra - Throws some really good scares at you over and over again. Was surprised with just how much I ended up liking this one. 3. Solipsis - Incredibly short, but made by David Mullins. Need I say more? 2. Squirrel Stapler - Pretty unnerving game that keeps building on itself with new mechanics to make you forget that god is in fact coming. 1. Sucker For Love - I liked this one :)
