Description of Service

Dread Compass is a horror game comfort guide designed to help horror players assess their fear tolerance, anxiety triggers, and scare preferences. The site provides diagnostic tools, fear-type taxonomies, player anxiety profiles, and game-to-player matching frameworks to help you find horror games that align with your comfort level rather than exceed it.

Our service includes fear-tolerance assessments, anxiety trigger identification, game intensity analysis, accessibility warnings, and curated game recommendations based on your stated fear responses and anxiety patterns. All recommendations and assessments are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only.

User-Generated Content

If you submit comments, feedback, or other content to Dread Compass, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute such content for the purpose of improving and operating our service.

Disclaimers

No Medical or Mental Health Advice: Dread Compass is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice. Our fear-tolerance assessments and anxiety trigger identification tools are designed to help you understand your preferences and comfort levels in gaming contexts only. If you experience severe anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, or other mental health concerns, please consult a qualified mental health professional.

Assessment Accuracy: While we strive to provide accurate and thoughtful game analysis and player-to-game matching, our assessments are based on self-reported data and subjective interpretations of game design. Fear responses vary widely among individuals, and a game's impact on your comfort level may differ from our analysis. We do not guarantee that recommended games will match your comfort level or that non-recommended games will exceed it.

Third-Party Content: Dread Compass references and analyzes horror games and media created by third parties. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the content, accuracy, or quality of external games, websites, or services. Your use of third-party platforms and games is subject to their own terms of service and privacy policies.

Our total liability for any claim arising from this site or these terms shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us, if any. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so this limitation may not apply to you.
