April 2022 Release for Dread X Collection 5 on Steam Devilish The game invites players to a delightfully devilish party that is literally to die for! This time around, the terrifying theme is “entertainment”. Dark festivals, abandoned daycares, creepy theaters, video games at home — nowhere and nothing is safe! The collection features the following twelve games from new and returning independent developers to the anthology series:

• Outpost 3000 by Christopher Yabsley (Pigsaw): A birthday bash at Outpost 3000 is every small town kid’s dream. But this alien themed party venue holds something more sinister beneath the surface.
• Karao by Stroboskop (Sylvio): A late night of karaoke. A wrong turn. Singing? Where did the train station come from, and where does it go?
• Rotten Sigma by VisceralError (The Gallagher Case): 12 children disappeared at the Gallagher Sports Center in 2006. Neal, a retired policeman, finds the courage to investigate.
• Spirit Guardian by Nikk F. (SCP: Nukalypse): A daycare haunted by something sinister. Cries for help echo from its empty halls.
• We Never Left by Conner Rush of FYRE Games (Summerland): On a dark and stormy night in 1983, the phone rings. “FINISH THE GAME”.
• HUNSVOTTI by Roope Tamminen (Lakeview Cabin): Finland 1888. The locals are celebrating Juhannus, a nightless night in midsummer said to hold magical power. A ritual must be completed.
• Gallerie by Shackles (Totem): The paint whispers in an infamous art gallery where mysterious disappearances have occurred.
• The Book of Blood by Darkstone Digital (The Mortuary Assistant): The night signals closing time at Pomeroy Grasslands carnival and its employee Trevor volunteers to lock up. Alone in his booth, with a strange book in Lost and Found, a man steps out of the darkness and hands Trevor a note: “let me in.”
• Vestige by Philip Hesselbäck (Axis Mundi – included in Dread X Collection: The Hunt): An old videogame from childhood. A familiar place. A dark memory breaks through.
• Resver by colorfiction (0°N 0°W, Ode to a Moon): It’s the twentieth anniversary of the tragic fire that claimed dozens of lives at the legendary Resver nightclub in 1992. An invitation arrives. It’s time for a night to remember at the resurrected Resver.
• Ludomalica by iwilliams (Haunted PS1 Madvent Calendar 2021): It’s past midnight and mom and dad are gone for the weekend. There’s no better time than now to try playing Ludomalica. It’s just a board game, right? But something feels … wrong.
• Villiform by Matt Reeves (Two Lines, Family is Nothing): A young child falls asleep during a puppet show and awakes alone in an old, musty theater. Finding all the doors to be bricked over, the child must face the darkness that lies beyond the curtains.
• INTERIM by Phantom Sloth Games (The Bends): Alfred moved to Hollywood with nothing more than a few dollars in his pocket and a dream in his heart. A dream to be front and center as the leading man in a major motion picture. All eyes would be on him, in the INTERIM.
