Dread Neighbor
Another psychological horror title, Dread Neighbor, is on the way to us all with Dread Neighbor going into some darkness
More of the modern and foreign fears are on the way into the world with the reveal for Dread Neighbor. A new title that Ghostcase and Erabit are working on for the PC that will carry on a legacy of fear from a past title. All in a first-person and dark setting filled with many other nightmares, it would seem. Mostly, from what we can gather, Dread Neighbor will be more of the fear of others and what your neighbors might actually be up to. Something that I know many in a rundown area of a massive city might go through on a daily basis. Highlighting even more the darkness of being a human out there, when it could be easier for us all to get along. But, I digress. Let's have a look at what has been revealed for the game up to now.
Just as with many good horrors, Dread Neighbor is inspired by real-world incidents and fears in the urban life of the world. We play as a young woman who needs to save money, so she moves into a darker area of town. An area of town where others in similar situations, or needing a place to stay unseen, are also living. That is where it seems the darkness of Dread Neighbor is going to go, as we wander the apartment building we are in and uncover something truly sinister in the area. As it looks in the following reveal, some kind of killer who is out on the hunt for more blood and bodies to add in. Not the ideal situation for a lone woman in a dark part of town, so that can lead to all kinds of psychological terror, that's for sure. Have a look at the reveal for it all in the video we have below. Maybe this will be another master in terror from an indie team out there.
Dread Neighbor — Reveal
Dread Neighbor is a first-person psychological horror game rooted in modern urban fear.
Inspired by real incidents, the game captures the hidden fears of urban solitude through repeating scenes that subtly change and grow more unsettling over time. Familiar spaces shift the moment you look away—and the ordinary everyday is quietly intruded upon by something you cannot name.
You play as a young woman working and living alone in the city. In order to save money, you move into a cheap yet unnervingly quiet old apartment building. Narrow hallways, dim yellow lights, corners that never quite dry—everything feels as if it has been waiting for you.
At first, it’s nothing more than a feeling: Someone is watching you. No matter how hard you try to ignore it, that gaze clings to your back, seeps through the walls, and lurks just outside your line of sight.
As the abnormal begins to seep into your routine, as familiar places turn unfamiliar, as your room at night feels darker than darkness itself… you start to realize that the pressure surrounding you won’t fade just because you look away — it was never gone in the first place.
