Dread X Collection: The Hunt offers the user a story passage, as well as seven additional episodes, during which you can travel through locations and shoot enemies. The main plot line tells about a heroine named Artemis, for whom you can go to explore an abandoned scientific complex. It is located in a snow-covered area where sub-zero temperatures prevail throughout the year. There, the player can independently move around the open area in search of clues and useful items. In addition, from time to time you will be able to encounter monsters, to destroy which you will use the available weapons. There is also a love line that you can pay attention to.

In Dread X Collection: The Hunt, other modes present shortened narratives that are not connected to each other. In addition, they are also made in personal styles – their drawing and the opponents they meet are different. The genre component remains the same – in each of these mini-games you can shoot attacking opponents. There will also be horror elements. Bloodthirsty enemies, as well as the depressing atmosphere of what is happening, may try to scare the hero. There are no saves in the missions, which is why you can try to avoid collisions in order not to die. Otherwise, you can start the task from the beginning.
