Psychological horror with multiple endings!

Alone VR is primarily a psychological horror game. It doesn't rely on cheap jump scares to get the job done. It's going to rely on ambient noises and it's ability to convince you there's someone over your shoulder about to get you.

Don't get me wrong there are a few jump scares but they're well done and not abused. In fact I'd say they rely too much on the psychological aspect so much that you almost get numb to a few of the sounds.

But if that's my main critique then the games doing pretty well.

For the most part you're walking around the house picking up various pieces of the story as you try to find your lost sister whom you haven't seen in years. She seems to be an idiot that found a door she shouldn't have and started playing with magic... Bad things started happening after that.

Along the way there are a few puzzles that need to be solved. I came across a piano that was missing 3 keys, a statue that needed to be placed somewhere and a few random screws. No idea what these do yet but the one puzzle I did complete was a piano note based puzzle.

On the piano puzzle. I had some difficulty with that as the vive controller wasn't very precise when hitting notes. I had to go to the outside of the note to get it to pick up or it hit the one next to it. It's easier to see in the video than explain in text but I'd like them to revisit that as it makes the puzzle a bit frustrating when you think you have the answer and it doesn't seem to be working.

All in all, it's a well done game. Give it a go if you're into the horror genre. Or pick it up just to drop some unsuspecting victim into that world. }:)
