DREAD X Collection: The Hunt
History
DREAD X Collection: The Hunt is being produced by Ted Hentschke, Patrick Ewald, and Starlightskyes from Dread XP. David Szymanski as the Creative Director. Dread XP was originally a media company focused on horror games but has decided to branch into game publishing. Instead of the traditional method of publishing they decided for their first project to work with developers to make short games which is a staple of the indie horror genre.
Story
In this, the fourth installment of the DREAD X Collection, your journey leads you to an abandoned military base in the arctic looking for more clues about the Cognitovirus mentioned in the previous games. The base is eerily desolate as you collect the missing samples, piecing together the mystery of what happened here and why your mother asked you to come.

Axis Mundi (By Philip Hesselbäck)
A brand new shopping mall has been disturbed by a number of hauntings. You, a freelancing ghost photographer with a special camera, are called to investigate and cleanse the location.

Black Relic (By TorpleDook)
A monk returns to the monastery one day to find that it has been sacked and all his brothers have been killed. Worst of all, the holy relic he had devoted his life to protecting has been stolen! After learning from the local villagers that a cult of pagans had been seen fleeing with the relic to the ruins of the old forest, the monk takes up his old crossbow for one last hunt. Our only third-person shooter, this weighty shooter leans heavier into its survival horror roots.
Rose of Meat (By Mr. Pink):
One day while out fishing, your boat crashes into a mysterious island. The islanders are frozen in a mad dance, mumbling the name Rose. Armed with a revolver and a talking leg of meat, venture forth and embrace the madness. It’s a surreal and strange “setup” shooter, utilizing a one-two punch of exploding barrel-babies and a well-placed revolver shot to dispatch foes.

He must fight to find his daughter and escape… or will this world swallow him whole? A shooter with a strange and unique loadout of disturbing weapons. Pronounced Sera (sarah) – phix (fix) – ial (iel) (as in, ArIEL), in case you were wondering.
The Fruit (By Christopher Yabsley)
