About DreadOut Remastered Collection
The DreadOut Remastered Collection bundles the Indonesian horror titles DreadOut and DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark in a single, updated launcher. Both games have been upgraded to the latest Unity engine, delivering sharper textures, enhanced lighting, and smoother performance on modern PCs.
Players follow high‑school student Linda as she navigates an abandoned town and a mirror‑realm filled with hostile spirits. Armed with a smartphone and an SLR camera, she must solve puzzles and survive supernatural threats while the collection supports full controller input and Steam Cloud saves.
01 / THE GUIDE
Enhanced Visuals
Both titles received a post‑processing lighting system, ambient occlusion, motion blur, bloom, and SMAA, resulting in richer shadows and clearer details. Cutscenes were upscaled, and shaders run smoother, making the horror atmosphere more immersive.
The updated engine also shortens loading times to roughly one‑third of the original, letting players jump into scares faster. These visual improvements are consistent across the bundled launcher.
- Compare scenes before and after the upgrade to notice the lighting differences.
- Adjust the new brightness system if the post‑processing makes dark areas harder to see.

Refined Controls
The remaster fixes analog input so it correctly influences character animations, providing smoother DSLR camera handling and tighter movement. Sensitivity for aiming has been tuned, reducing drift during combat.
Full controller support is included, allowing players to use gamepads.
- Test both controller and mouse to see which feels more precise for aiming.
- Use the sensitivity settings to balance quick turns with steady shots.
