Today, independent horror publisher and production company DreadXP is pleased to announce that Dread X Collection 5, the latest installment in their popular anthology horror series, will release on Tuesday, May 3, 2022.
Based around the theme of “entertainment”, the collection brings forth 12 delightfully twisted short-form nightmares from the creators of such indie hits as0°N 0°W, Lakeview Cabin, Sylvio, and The Mortuary Assistant.
Dread X Collection 5 transports players to terrifying locales like haunted nightclubs, dark carnivals, haunted puppet shows, the country Finland in the year 1888, a karaoke bar toilet, and so much more! While all games in the collection are horror-themed, they each have their unique takes on what truly makes a great horror experience. From shotgun-blasting hordes of the undead and escaping a crazed carnival killer, to taking part in a life or death game of ‘find the flowers’, and carrying an egg on a spoon, there’s lots of twisted horror goodness to be had in Dread X Collection 5.

Inspired by Game Jams, each collection has its own thematic concept which points the featured developers in a similar direction but with full creative freedom.
