DreadOut

DreadOut is an episodic, adventure, psychological, survival, horror video game developed by an Indonesian company Digital Happiness and published by PT Digital Semantika Indonesia. The core gameplay involves fighting ghosts by using a camera to take their pictures, similar to the Fatal Frame series. DreadOut is a third-person psychological survival horror game that uses mechanics similar to those found in the Fatal Frame series, with a modern twist. The player character, Linda, uses modern gadgets, such as smartphones and digital video cameras, to interact with (or fend off) various kinds of Indonesian mythical ghosts, and to help her solve various puzzles in a deserted town. When Linda dies in the game, she awakens in darkness surrounded by candles with a bright light in the distance. By running towards the light, Linda will come back to life. The game features both third and first-person control schemes, with the player navigating environments with a standard over-the-shoulder perspective. If the player decides to use their digital camera to photograph something, they enter a first-person perspective to see through Linda’s equipped camera.
