Hey everyone!
I am currently working on my first VR horror game! I am very excited for this as this is a new area for me but hopefully I can deliver a great experience! I started this project in 2023 and was working on it alongside my other games slowly. It just had the release date trailer out on Playstation! It will be coming out for Meta, Steam and PSVR2.
It’s a horror game that takes place in the Trenches of WW1 and you are hunted down. You have to get to your objectives by blowing your trench whistle but the catch is the enemies can hear your whistle too, they also hear your microphone from your headset!
If you like, I would really appreciate it if you can wishlist it on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2687660/Trenches_VR or follow my progress on twitter: https://x.com/steelkrill
Thank you everyone and let me know what you think! :)
How is VR doing? Is it worth getting into currently?
The hype has clearly faded from like 2016 when the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift were hot new tech. There are still games with great production value around and they’ll give you emotional and visceral experiences you’ll never feel in flat games.
For PC-based VR, you can get a used Vive for a few hundred dollars, and you’ll need a PC with modest gaming power. I’ve run Half-Life Alyx acceptably fine on an RX 580, a medium graphics card from 2017, which is often listed as the minimum required.
In VR games, everything feels more intense. Scary parts, sad parts, action-packed parts. Characters making direct eye contact with you feels really gripping. Being able to see and hear the game world all around you is a level of immersion you’ve probably not felt before.
Whether the entry price is worth accessing this niche of highly immersive games is up to you.
