‘Dread X Collection Volume 2’ Announced With 12 Games
It was so nice the first time that they’re doing it twice. Two months after the first Dread X Collection, DreadXP are back again with the second volume. Launching this August on Steam and Itch.io, Dread X Collection Volume 2 collects 12 developer works of retro-inspired horror gaming, with the devs having 10 days to complete their works.
The theme this time around is Lovecrafting, which leaves room for the devs to work their Lovecraftian magic. As for who’s on board (along with their games), here’s the roster:
- David Szymanski – Squirrel Stapler
- Wither Studios – Touched by an Outer God
- Bathysfear Labs – The Diving Bell
- Scythe Dev Team – To The End Of Days
- Mahelyk – The Toy Shop
- Torple Dook – Undiscovered
- John Szymanski – Charlotte’s Exile
- Secret Cow Level – Another Late Night
- Vidas Games – Arcadletra
- Akabaka – SUCKER FOR LOVE

While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
If you wish to get in on the fun prior to the game’s release, you can sign up for the playtest via the Steam page.
