Brings what grabs you about UnderDread: dread and tension, a dark atmosphere and a realistic look.

A short first-person horror trip where you gather clues through dark forests and abandoned buildings, weaponless, while the Slender Man closes in. Tension comes from darkness, a flickering flashlight and sudden jump scares.

Dread Flats

Dread and tension

Wick
