Left Hand Path update 0.7 Samael gameplay: VR horror RPG inspired by Dark Souls
21Gameplay from the new Samael area in the Left Hand Path 0.7 early access patch using the HTC Vive.
Left Hand Path is a $24.99 VR RPG that supports the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift with Touch. It supports sliding locomotion as well as teleportation and it uses a gesture based spell casting system. Left Hand Path is inspired by Dark Souls and uses many soulslike mechanics for progression, death, and story.
This video covers the new patch for Left Hand Path, update 0.7. This update adds the two final areas of the game, Xanadu and Samael. In this video I go through part of Samael.

"-Two new areas, Samael and Xanadu, totaling around 5 hr of play time!

Official game description of Left Hand Path from Steam:
"Cast spells, perform rituals, learn terrible truths and try not to die in this massive Dark Souls-inspired VR RPG.
You awaken in a darkened castle – or is it something else? – full of dangerous creatures, a history of tragedy, and arcane powers that you can wield. From there, you’ll delve into the weird landscape of the Well Of All Rewards...
While playing Left-Hand Path, You Will
-Learn arcane gestures to cast powerful spells: fling missiles, strike your foes with lightning, and conjure flaming boulders from the ground.
-Master a complex ritual magic system based on historical Hermetic magic.
-Delve deep into a fleshed-out game experience - over 15 hours of single-player, VR-exclusive content so far and more to come.
-Become part of a history of human greed and ambition, tragedy, sacrifice in the name of love, and lust for power.
-Fight lethal monsters that will test both your physical skills – duck, dodge, outmanoeuvre – and your mastery of magic.
-Explore eerie landscapes, and interact with other humans – and with stranger creatures still.
-Gather the fallen Husks of your foes to gain power and unlock new abilities.
-Choose whether to explore nooks and crannies of the world to discover secret truths and powers.
Left-Hand Path ISN'T
-Left-Hand Path is NOT a seated VR experience. In Left-Hand Path you'll gesture to cast spells, squat to avoid an axe larger than your whole body, dodge to let arrows whizz past you, duck to look into secret passages, hook hidden items into view, and more. It's specifically designed for room-scale, and it's room-scale only.
-Left-Hand Path is NOT a short arcade experience. It's a fully-fleshed-out, voice-acted, animated RPG with over 10 hours' play time in Early Access and around 17-20 hours’ total playtime planned.
-Left-Hand Path is NOT easy. To quote my biggest inspiration for the project, Dark Souls, "Prepare To Die". But it's also not unfair. Enemies do have weaknesses, and you have the power of magic itself. You'll find your way.
We'll see you in the Well of All Reward.
We Who Watch The Well await you...
Play Style Details
-Locomotion: Left-Hand Path supports both teleport-style locomotion and sliding-style locomotion.
-Left-Handed Support: Left-handed play is fully supported.
-Minimum Spec: Left-Hand Path should run smoothly on any PC that's VR-ready.
-Play Time: Left-Hand Path is 10+ hours of play time in the current Early Access release. I'll be aggressively adding to that over time."
