Unfortunately I keep hitting an issue (which I am triggering, inadvertently) where a button on one of my joysticks of my Meta Quest 2 is hit, causing the flashlight to fall to the ground. No matter how low to my floor I get, or even touching it, I cannot "reach" the flashlight to pick back up. This game is as dark as dark can be and the flashlight is seemingly a requirement to be able to see anything at least in early game. This makes the game nearly impossible to play. If the devs could make it so the flashlight cannot be dropped, but placed in an inventory system instead, I would certainly re-play and adjust my review. Outside of that, the atmosphere, sound design, and aesthetics of the bunker were super cool and eerie!
Very short game, but it makes up for it with good horror and story elements. It has an intriguing story and a very dark environment. The ambient sound and environment are very well done, very immersive. The flashlight doesn't illuminate much, which is both good and weird. The lack of footstep sounds during normal movement breaks the immersion quite a bit, though sprinting does have them. There's some replay value with the achievements too. Always support your indie devs.
Amazing horror environment, short if you know what you're supposed to do but it took me a while to actually figure where everything was and how the monster behaves. The lack of lighting is a double edged sword where it adds to the horror aspect but is kinda frustrating until you get used to it. Overall a nice experience but might be too scary for some people
Its a fun short game. I look forward to the dev´s next work on VR Horror, as this shows promise. The AI is simplistic, the level design could use some polish (more air vents and variation on routes!), and the gameplay mechanics could be better explained and used, not to mention the game lacks a pause button that I could find.
(PSVR2) Не страшно, местный монстр не вызывает никакого ужаса. Игра короткая и это к лучшему, т.к. более продолжительного геймплея я бы не выдержал.
