About This Game

Edge of Dread is a singleplayer survival horror game. A simple job to fix leaking pipes at the mayor's house leads you to find yourself locked in the mansion with a monster that stalks the corridors.

Can you find a way to escape?

• Challenging Gameplay:

  Every time you get caught by the monster you are sent back to the beginning. A single mistake can end your run.

• Replayability:

  With Multiple endings and randomized item spawn locations and puzzle solutions, no two runs are the same. Adding to that, the monster's realistic and intelligent behavior makes every run nerve racking.

• Player progression:

  Collect bugs that spawn all over the map and trade them to buy items and plan your escape.

• Deep Lore:

  Uncover the story behind the monster and the mayor. Find notes throughout the mansion and piece the story together.
