DreadOut 1.9.0 Release

Hello everyone,

We're happy to announce that DreadOut version 1.9.0 is available now. This new version brings major updates to DreadOut, with some of the biggest highlights being:

  1. DreadOut engine is updated to prepare for our upcoming Act 2 release.
  2. DreadOut Act 0 Prologue (which is also available separately as DreadOut Demo) is now integrated with the main game.

DreadOut Act 0 Prologue / Demo can be seen as an integral part of DreadOut story, so if you guys have not played the Demo yet, you can now revisit Linda's nightmare as a prologue for the Act 1 directly from the main menu.

Release Notes:

  • DreadOut 1.9.0 is a new build with a completely new framework.
  • Be aware that this new release will be breaking your save game. So, if you're in the middle of playing Act 1, you may prefer to defer the update up until you've finished the game.
  • This new version discarded multi-language support for the time being, it will be incorporated again later.
  • This new version is asset-optimized for 32-bit system. Many 64-bit users might notice some textures' downgrade, we will resolve this issue with hi-res texture pack for 64-bit system later.
  • Updates to our Steam Cloud integration so users will not be required to have a file system friendly name anymore. This eliminates cases where some users were forced to rename their Steam's display name for the sake of playing DreadOut.
  • Some minor tweaks to DreadOut shaders and input system.
  • a new addition of experience setting, for turning on or off clue and ghost vignette, limbo distance, Limbo message etc. so that you guys can play it at your own preferences.

For you guys who wondering about DreadOut Act 2, there are some of the WIP shots. You can see more screenshots on DreadOut website.

Thank you again for all of your supports, we couldn't done this far without all of your supports.

All the best!

'Tis a pity i can't play for a girl. Is it so hard to give us, LGBT haters, a choice? Sounds like a discrimination :)
Now seriously. How can i associate myself with protagonist of opposite gender? Gamebreaking for me.

You are one of the reason for the stereotypical and bad reputation of gamers. And what does having a female protagonist has anything to do with LGBT? Do you even know what you are talking about?
I seriously don't know if I should feel sorry for you, or just tell you to keep your sexist comments to yourself. Good doG, I rather wish I'm just feeding a troll than believe people like you exist in this day and age (who aren't 10 and afraid of cooties.)

Also shame on the people who deliberately voted your karma up.

Playing as a female can help you feel a lot different in a game then playing as a male.
When you're playing as a female you feel a lot more defenseless then when you play as a male, increasing the psychological horror experience for both males and females (If you play as a male you feel strong and feel as if nothing can defeat you)
Also the designers of F.E.A.R used Alma as one of the protagonist is a little girl that gives you the feeling that you can't do anything to harm her (Once you actually try too attack her.) before that you think she is an innocent girl that just looks creepy.

That was such an irrelevant and poorly thought out comment it gave me cancer. This game looks amazing. The gender of the protagonist does not matter.

are you SERIOUSLY! judging the game on the fact that you are playing as a girl?... REALLY? that's insane... there are SO MANY games where you play as a girl, and they are fantastic! Tomb Raider, Metroid Prime, Mirror's Edge, Silent Hill 3, Fatal Frame: Crimson Butterfly and many more! these games are fantastic BECAUSE you play as a Woman/Girl... you must have super high priorities and requirements of games if you can't accept the fact that there will be games with female protagonists.

Just completed the game today. I have to write a review about this game :)

This game is amazing. I wrote that on the first part, but now I know for sure. I just finished the demo, and I have played alot of indie games, but this one is just... something more. I really get impressed rarely by an indie game. One was One Late Night, not for the graphics but the idea. Well, DreadOut was another one. While playing it, at times I could not look at the monitor since I could just smell something bad happening. I didn't go five metres feeling safe. I'll go into details, because I really believe this game deserves a review.

1] The cat. Oh my god, that cute little black kitty was just awesome! I didn't know what to think about it during the whole game. Why was it there? Was it a friend or an enemy? I just saw it on numerous places, and it was just staying there. In the end, after I died once with that kitty near me, we were both reviving, so I think it's a friend. In such a game, some companion is a REALLY good idea, giving the player the thoughts that he is safe, and the player deserves it since the atmosphere could easily made him leave the game and uninstall it. Something like this kitty could prevent that, and it's so cutteeeeeee <3 ^-^

2] The ghost. I don't know if there are more than one ghost in this game (aside of the ones after you use the key to leave the house, I don't count those since they were visible without the camera). That DAMN ghost, is one of the most tweaked and scary things I have seen in a game or a picture ANYWHERE. After picking up the key, I went back not knowing where is that door I need to find, and I was hearing her laughs from a great distance. After opening the door where you spawn (the very first room), it felt like I unleashed the evil itself. She started chasing me, appearing and dissapearing without any warning signs... It felt very bad, since I knew she will keep appearing but I couldn't prevent it, she was way too quick. Taking a couple of pictures might be easy, but when she pops up RIGHT infront of you, you don't even have the time to take one. That serie of jumpscares there is a very awesome thing, it surely kept me at the edge of my seat.

3] The girl. I did not quite understand if she was haunted by that ghost once we met for first time (when she lured me in the corner of that room, then turned into the ghost itself), or if she is just the ghost itself. I really didn't understand that part. When we first met, she kept appearing and then quickly dissapearing. When we first talked, she started laughing for no reason, asking me to follow her. Once I did, I was like 'I KNEW IT WAS A TRAP!'. Then later on, she is crying on the stairs, telling me to escape and giving me a key. Why would she help me if she is the ghost itself? Also the ghost is in the beginning of the map, how could it be both on the stairs and in the beginning? That made me think she was haunted by it earlier, or that I was hallucinating. Never understood for sure.

4] The house. After taking the key and going outside the house, it like completely vanished? I don't know if I was too stupid and couldn't spot it anymore or if it was intended to be like that, but what the hell? That gave me the chills even more, since I was in a house that didn't exist for over 10 minutes.

5] The graveyard ghosts and the giant - I have no idea how to call them, but they are damn creepy... especially the giant one. I didn't really understand what to do there until I flashed the camera in their faces at least 30 times each. That is the only con, I will discuss it a little later. I loved the combination of house vanishing + those graveyard monsters, you can't hide anywhere. Once I managed to beat both of them, I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out what to do next.

6] The atmosphere - throughout the whole game, as I stated above, the atmosphere was on top level. As I was walking, I never felt relieved, even after playing with the cat. Most games I played were obviously like this : Jumpscare happens, you are safe in that room. I don't know if that game works this way, but I had a feeling that it doesn't. Those creepy hard to hear sounds, playing in the background gave me the chills from once I started. Also, the darkness throughout the whole game, it makes you feel vulnerable because you cannot see if anything hostile is approaching. Another thing, the camera. While using the camera, you can see the enemies, but you are slow and extra vulnerable. While not using it, you can run but you don't know where the enemy is, which makes you feel unease. Mankind's biggest fear - the unknown - very well used in the game. On top of everything, just the way the ghost looks makes you not want to encounter it at all costs.

7] The only con. The only thing I disliked in this game was the lack of clear objectives during the whole playthough. I did not know where to go, what to do, and that resulted in around 4-5 minutes of walking around every time I managed to accomplish something, it was a downhill.

Overall, if I had to say everything summed in a couple of words, here it is. This game is amazing. It has everything a horror game must have, and is structured REALLY well. I didn't lose my time playing this game, I loved it. Rating would go 9,7/10 for now, can't wait to see the full version.

I'm voting for it on Steam, I'll recommend it to some friends, and I can't wait to play the full game.

Here is my second part of the game (final) : Youtube.com

Regards,
Night.
