DreadXP Unveiling Their Spooky Showcase 2021 This Sunday
The folks over at DreadXP have taken to Twitter to hype up their Spooky Showcase 2021, which goes down on Sunday, October 31st at 12pm PST/3pm EST. Much like last year’s event, this year will showcase “amazing horror experiences” from a variety of developers.
And if you’ve been paying attention to DreadXP’s Twitter in recent days, the team has been having a little game of namedropping past indie creators who could very well be part of this year’s event.
This year’s event is hosted by Chip’s Tips, and will include over 80 trailers for indie horror titles, as well as four trailers from DreadXP themselves, as well as a “special announcement” (Dread X Collection fans, start your wishing). And of course, after the whole thing is over, DreadXP will be hosting a showcase afterparty in their Discord.
