Great to see you again, fellow keepers. Welcome to another dev log! Before we jump into the development update, here’s a little behind-the-scenes moment: We celebrated our boss’ birthday just yesterday! 🎉🎉 It was a really nice chance for the team to take a pause and celebrate good times. Since (almost) all we did yesterday was eating cake and hot dogs our boss cooked for everyone! Now, with t…
Greetings, fellow keepers of the dark! We meet again! In the last few updates, we’ve hinted (pretty obviously) that investigations will play a big role in DreadOut 3. And it turns out, when we started thinking about how investigations would work, we also started thinking about the spaces that would surround them. When we talk about horror, most of the attention usually immediately turns to what…
Another one full lap around the sun! Twelve years already. Every year, DHXP gives us a chance to slow down for a bit and look back at everything we’ve been building together. From the earliest days until exactly now, it’s been a wild ride full of learning experiences, moments, and many, many late nights at the studio. And honestly, seeing people continue to support our games after all this time…

The Irisphone is soooo back! Probably some of you have noticed that in several DreadOut 3 videos we released since the first announcement last year (May 2025), Linda's phone is playing a significant role as ever. Though in the second series, there's a melee weapon (axe) she used to fight certain ghosts, in this third one, we want to bring back the Irisphone to where it belongs. Talking about Li…
Determining Linda's Position As we began discussing this Devlog, we returned to something that felt fundamental yet sensitive: Linda Meilinda's current position. Beyond where and who Linda is, the story continues, also within our own development process. We realized early on that Linda in DreadOut 3 couldn't be treated as a "reintroduced" character. Because, as we all are aware, she'd already s…
