First-person horror game Dread Flats takes place in a ghostly apartment complex full of mystery and atmosphere. The game merges horror and cultural aesthetics in a genuine 1990s Chinese urban setting.
Players search dim passageways, abandoned rooms, and eerie courtyards for clues to a sequence of disappearances. Environmental storytelling and participatory games shape the experience.
A prominent component of Dread Flats is its basic surveillance system. Players can see different portions of the building through control room security cameras. Players can track mystery beings and monitor unsafe places using these streams. This indirect observation keeps players on edge as they decide whether to advance and when to hide. The atmosphere is enhanced by limited camera angles and blurry images, making every flicker potential menace.
As they explore the structure, gamers learn more about its terrible past. Dread Flats' mystery and fear rather than action allow players to carefully uncover their surroundings.
