Picked this up earlier while at my dads. I enjoyed it, and so did he. We got around an hours worth for €2 so I cant complain. Eerie atmosphere and some parts that were genuinely creepy.
Quite possibly the dullest half hour I have ever had to endure, that's my will to live and the Carsons disappeared.
[h1]Played On: [b]HTC Vive[/b][/h1] The Night the Carsons Disappeared is a horror "movie" that lasts about half an hour. Without spoiling the experience and giving too much away, it explores the mysterious and still unexplained 2009 disappearance of Katie Carson's husband, Michael, and her two children in Richmond, Ontario Canada. All in all, it takes elements from horror classics such as The Amityville Horror, Paranormal Activity, and The Strangers. Since you, the viewer, are playing as Michael Carson, you will be seated in the living room of the family home. Keep in mind that this is the non-interactive version of the game, and therefore you will just be observing your surroundings. Around you, strange and disturbing events slowly unfold in both audio and visual form. Depending on how easily you scare, there's a good chance that you may quit before the entire duration is up. Thankfully, there are no heart attack inducing jumpscares, but rather a combination of subtle and in-your-face moments of terror. There are a few downsides to The Night the Carsons Disappeared, and most of them are pretty major immersion breakers. Many times throughout the experience the audio plays through the wrong speaker channel; for instance, a door opens to the right of you but the sound of it opening comes through the left speaker. There are also many situations where it seems to take minutes for the next event to start happening. Additionally, the graphics are really, really terrible even by low standards, [spoiler]especially where the character and dog models are concerned[/spoiler]. For a buck, The Night the Carsons Disappeared isn't awful by any means. It has a lot of potential and room to grow, and hopefully the developer can iron out some of the aformentioned issues prior to the release of the interactive version. The set up for the story is highly believable, and I actually searched to see if it was based off a true story. For what it is, and for the price, grab it if you enjoy some mild scares.

This experience is sooo good! I couldn't get through it yet. I quit after about 15-20 minutes and I'm a grown man lol. Very good transitions between scares with just enough breathing room to keep the tension going. The only negative would be the scale is a little off, but the direction, models, animation, and atmosphere make up for it. For two dollars it's a steal. Horrifying and I love it!! 4/5
Extremely boring passive experience. This experience has you sitting in a chair while events unfold around you. Unfortunately, said events are not very scary and the whole thing is rather boring. There are moments where absolutely nothing happens for minutes. After a couple of these instances I had to fight the urge to just quit, but I kept hoping things would get more interesting. Perhaps the waiting had some sort of meaning or perhaps it was there to build suspense. Boy was I wrong. Graphically, it just isn't very impressive either. Ugly models and textures only enhanced the feeling of detachment I already felt from the world and its story. What bothered me most was that everything was out of proportion, just way too big. I felt like a bored toddler in a very ugly living room. Really wish I could get back the time I wasted on this.
6 Nisan 2009'da Carson ailesi Richmond'daki evlerinden kayboldu ve kendilerinden bir daha haber alınamadı. Aileyle bilinen son iletişim, Bay Carson'un bir dizi açıklanamayan olayın meydana geldiğini bildirmek için yerel polisle temasa geçmesiyle gerçekleşti.
Good story, good concept but the lack of quality animations for the "main character" and the dog ruined it for me. It turned out better than I thought that I have to sit around and wait for events to happen, was like a interactive "movie" but like I say the character work should have been much better.
Really dull and uninspired horror experience. You basically sit in a chair (and by sit in a chair, i actually mean hover a foot above a chair due to the bad floor detection) while doors and drawers open and shut and low poly count, badly scaled objects move about around you. There's a dog that slides instead of walking naturally, a pram that hovers a few inches above the ground (uninentionally) and also happens to be about the size of a car, a chair which seems to increase in size exponentially the closer it gets to you (again unintentional), missing sound effects for supposed jump scares, and many more cookie cutter horrror movie tropes that somehow manage to completely miss the mark for one reason or another. There's also an almost uncomfortable amount of time between events which had me considering quitting on several occasions, but i hung around in the hopes that it would improve. It didn't.
The Night The Carsons Disappeared is a free to play VR experience. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. This is maybe 30 to 40 minutes long. You are locked into one location. This was dark and scary. At one time this was paid product and now it is free to play. Plays like a corny horror movie. Yeah, would be something to play for Halloween if you have not seen this yet. Uses gaze control. Could use more work. Try this, if you like being scared.
