I really liked DreadOut and DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark, so I'm definitely psyched for this!

It has my full recommendation, I think I liked it more than the main game (though one shouldn't play it before the main game). It got wilder and far more interesting enemies and scenarios than the original game did, though the structure may put some off (you have a hub world with 12 doors (and a 13th one to unlock after you exterminate a certain percentage of ghosts), each door leading to a small open level with 2-3 boss ghosts kinda' roaming inside to find and hunt). It really worked for me due to how creative the threats were, which actually gives me a lot of hope they may be able to do good with an action-horror game in the sequel (since one of the strongest things with DreadOut & D:KotD was the enemy selection and variety if you asked me).
Honestly the release date is so close to this release reveal announcement, I'm hoping the game doesn't go by unnoticed as it's looking promising.
Holy crap, I wasn't expecting it that soon. :O
Don't know if I get it day one, but excitement rising.

There's Indonesian jank in the first two games, which I feel the actual execution, pacing, creativity and variety of the game and surprising atmosphere actually managed to make it easy to overlook. I don't know how the sequel will hold up, but I can say this now; It looks a lot less janky than the original game and Keepers of the Dark, both of which were surprisingly good and charming.
Alright thanks, I'll make sure to play Keepers of the Dark before the sequel.
Me too. I surprisingly liked DreadOut. Never got around to Keepers of the Dark, but am looking forward to this sequel.

You're recalling wrong. DreadOut actually has a series of six different ghost battles one after the other at the end in like the last fifth of the game, some of which are actually very creative.
The giant Pocong boss, Hallway spirit, the object possession spirit, the Mirror spirit, then the two phase ghost snake woman fight.
Yeah, this game looks way better than the first. I'm kind of surprised more developers haven't used or try to expand on Fatal Frame game mechanics within a survival horror game. They tend to only use either Amnesia/Outlast or Resident Evil/Silent Hill as their main influences for survival horror mechanics.
I don't think I got more than 30 minutes into the first game. On paper it's my jam, but it felt too janky and the controller support felt like an afterthought. This seems more polished so fingers crossed. Maybe they can release an updated version of the first game on consoles.
