About DreadOut 3
DreadOut 3 is a third-person horror adventure developed by Digital Happiness, blending supernatural themes with Indonesian folklore. Released in 2026 for PC, it follows Linda as she navigates interdimensional realms to stop a force disrupting the balance between light and darkness. The game leans into jump scares, eerie environments, and puzzle-solving. It’s a sequel in the DreadOut series, known for its spooky vibes and local legends. If you like slow-burn tension and cryptic story beats, this one’s for you.
Gameplay
You explore shifting environments like haunted temples and distorted forests, collecting items to solve environmental puzzles. Combat is light but tense, relying on limited resources like salt and fire to repel spirits. Each area locks behind logic-based challenges, requiring you to backtrack often. The camera occasionally glitches, adding to the disorientation. RPG elements include upgrading Linda’s stats to handle tougher encounters. Sessions often involve 30, 60 minutes of wandering, solving one puzzle after another, punctuated by sudden scares. Controls are responsive but feel intentionally clunky during chase sequences.
What Players Think
Community ratings average 7.8/10, with 65% finishing the main story. Average playtime is 18 hours, but 40% abandon it before halfway. Positive reviews praise the atmosphere and lore depth, with one user calling it “the most unsettling Indonesian horror game since the first DreadOut.” Critics note repetitive combat and clunky puzzles, like a 20-minute sequence involving rearranging cursed artifacts. Completion rates drop sharply in the final act, where 30% report getting stuck on a portal alignment minigame. Achievement hunters target the 45 collectible “Shadow Notes,” with 15% earning 100% completion.
PlayPile's Take
DreadOut 3 is worth playing if you enjoy cryptic horror narratives and don’t mind pacing issues. At $39.99, it’s a mid-tier buy, but the lack of multiplayer and repetitive puzzles may turn off casual players. Achievements add 6 extra hours of grind, mostly for rare item hunts. Skip it if you want fast-paced action or clear direction. For fans of atmospheric exploration and Indonesian myths, it’s a decent follow-up with a few too many roadblocks.
