‘Dread X Collection 5’ Pushed to May 20th Release
We’ll have to wait a little bit longer for DreadXP’s Dread X Collection 5, as the anthology has hit a snag. Originally scheduled for release today, Dread X Collection 5 will now instead release on May 20th.
No reason was given for the delay, but it’s probably safe to assume that the two-week bump is mainly for last-minute polish for some of the games in the collection.
If you’re new to the concept of the Dread X Collection series, the whole thing started back in 2020, with indie devs getting together to create short horror games around a common theme. For this fifth iteration, the collection consists of “12 delightfully twisted short-form nightmares” that center around the theme of “entertainment”.
Dread X Collection 5 will bring 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!” Each game in the collection has its unique take on what truly makes a great horror experience.
You can check out the first batch of games in the collection here, and the other half here. And of course, you can do the wishlisting thing on Steam.

‘SOMBRAS: negative frames’ Launches December 3; Physical PS5 Release Also Revealed [Trailer]
Developer Maboroshi Artworks and Entalto Publishing have nailed down a December 3 release for SOMBRAS: negative frames, which will launch for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. Physical media fans will also be getting in on the fun, as the game will also be receiving a physical release with the Special Frame Edition.
The Special Frame Edition includes the game on disc, as well as a reversible cover, the game’s artbook, and a download code for the game’s soundtrack, wallpapers, and a digital version of the artbook.
SOMBRAS: negative frames follows Shiomi Alterio, a Japanese-Spanish photography student who lives with her father in a Japanese town after her parents’ recent divorce. One night, Shiomi is engulfed by a dark dimension made of familiar streets, hungry shadows, and a cast of girls that look just like her. Shiomi must navigate these shadow-drenched streets, using her camera to capture unusual sights, and develop film rolls to upgrade equipment.
Along the way, she can befriend alternate versions of herself, collect occult trinkets, and unlock the strange doors blocking your path forward. However, she must also confront her repressed terrors in an emotional exploration of identity, youth, and dysfunctional family systems.
