We’re excited to be launching a new game on Thursday (May 30th). The first in a series meant to bring back the spirit of the Dread X Collections comes Flathead. If you loved the collections, FLATHEAD is very likely what you’ve been waiting for, head on over and check it out:
In the vein of the collection games, FLATHEAD is a compact, re-playable horror experience. Play a game of skill and luck for the highest of stakes… your very existence.
From Tim Oxton//Oxblud, the creator of Silkbulb Test comes FLATHEAD, the first title of the XP Ultra program. XP Ultra is our way of continuing to create smaller, weirder experiences like those enjoyed by so many as part of the Collections in a sustainable way both for developers and crew. Does this mean there’s never going to be another Dread X Collection? No, we wanted to be able to bring you smaller games more often than we would if they were only part of a collection. The future is unknowable.
As you know, wishlists are a huge help for a game about to launch, so please head over to the page to give Flathead both a wishlist and follow! We’re looking forward to everything the XP Ultra program has in store, so your support means a ton.

Steam Screamfest Sale: Dread X Collection 2
Dread X Collection 2 is on sale as part of Steam's Screamfest Event! Pick it up now!
Step into the shoes of Rebecca, an apprentice at the River Fields Mortuary. You've spent months learning the ropes of the embalming process and how to treat the bodies of the dearly departed. During your time in the office, you've heard rumors and murmurs of possessions and hauntings taking place behind the brick walls of the mortuary. But, with such a stigma around death and what happens when we die, it’s no surprise people make up stories around the dead.
That is, until, you receive a phone call to come into work one stormy night...
There are multiple endings and plenty of secrets to uncover in The Mortuary Assistant, so keep on embalming after your first go around!
Perform embalmings, handle the various jobs around the mortuary, and exorcise demonic forces. All in a day’s work.

Hey there folks!

The Book of Blood, by Darkstone Digital:

Karao, by Stroboskop:
