how scary is it?

[Virtual_Bĭch]

for me everything is 10x and I am already not a huge fan of interactive horror- in vr I just get a ton of anxiety from genuinely unnerving experiences. is this more outlast/amnesia or spoopy puzzler?

*cant edit but meant to say 'for me everything is 10x *in vr*', not just generally lmao

its more like you are watching a stage play with a spooky mansion as a theme , no actual jumpscares, you go from room to room and each room has a spooky theme about either the guest or something about stauf... my dad had the og game and tbh i found that more scary, but ye i was also a small kid so it can be more intense for my small mind back then . if you like puzzle games or escape rooms games this is a wonderful ride ,

it does have moments that can give you a spine chill in the sense of a voice going from normal to really low and scary for a couple of words but because its always so unexpected, and me it just give me a funny spooky feeling for a second and that just hooks me more into the game :D

Honestly, think of it more like a spooky Halloween haunted mansion murder mystery weekend you go through solving puzzles along the way rather than any kind of actual scary or gross horror. For Halloween, I think it's perfectly positioned, and something that really all the family can enjoy. The hand interaction is a little finicky with some of the puzzles--they could/should definitely tweak that in a patch--but very solid all round outside of that imo.

I have not gotten to far but i don't find it scary in the slightest and i am kind of like you when it comes to that.
I played the exercist VR and refunded it in 10 minutes.

I think the so called scare factor is just related to the spooky type atmosphere with sounds of thunder in the background with the occasional not so lout scream or ghostly voice that does not scare at all.

Yes exposure is the key, desensitize your self over time.
When i first got into VR, i could barely play those wave shooters where things are running at you screaming like those Serious Sam bomb guys. Now it barely effects me.

I used to hear something coming at me from behind and i just said "NOPE" took off the headset and ALT + F4 the game to close it instead of turning around to take care of it.
Not the case anymore.

Still that super demonic stuff really freaks me out though, i don't think i will ever desensitize my self of that.
Jump scare games are also a big no no and will always be for me.

Hope you can enjoy it, and thanks for the points.
