This is the first chapter of the AFFECTED trilogy. AFFECTED has been commended as one of the best Virtual Reality experiences to date and thus far has over 200 million YouTube hits and countless features worldwide. The most popular horror experience in VR is now available for Steam. It has been completely reworked from the ground up for the latest generation of VR headsets. It is not just a collection of routine jump scares, but a series of unfolding events and environments that have been specifically designed to utilize the strengths of Virtual Reality. With a choice of two routes and four alternate endings... can you make it through? The length of The Manor is perfectly tailored to be a shared experience. No loading save points or getting friends to a "certain" part of a game. Simply strap on the headset and enjoy watching your friends and family navigate "The Manor". "AFFECTED" was released as a demo in the early days of VR for the Oculus Rift DK1. It was short, but the clever use of suspense, audio and lighting made the experience one of the top rated and most played Oculus Rift demos to date. This builds on this formula to deliver a VR experience that is designed to be as immersive as possible. Removing clumsy VR mechanics and obstructive gaming tropes, such as finding a key or solving a puzzle to progress, the player is left to be completely immersed in our world. Keeping game mechanics to a minimum also enables players with no gaming background to fully enjoy this. Having no control over what is happening only heightens the player's anxiety and fear of what is to come next. Audio and lighting also play a pivotal role. We utilize specialized audio throughout and take control of all lighting elements. So if we want the flashlight to pop off at the worst possible time, then it will. No extra batteries will save you in our experience. You won't get lost or have to spend time looking at level maps to navigate your way. If a door is open, then that's the way to go. You can't die so won't have to replay parts of a level numerous times. |
