A possible option?

I love and adore the game, and my hats off already. I could play for a long while as is but, I feel like a lot of players are going to become immune to the same scare quite quickly. Every time I load in I do feel a little less dread, and I think it's mainly due to two key things, not enough ghost sounds, and the death animation. There are only so many creepy ghost sounds, and I'm finding it easier and easier to go AH HA! Instead of freaking out. And the death animation really doesn't creep me out at all. That is really the big one. If I am less afraid of what's going to happen to me when I get attacked, it kills A LOT of the fear. I think this game would be beyond fantastic with more sounds, like screams, moans, actual threats, and a more impactful event when you die, like some real kill animation, or instead of just hands actually getting a good look at the Ghost's 3D modeled face or something, or just more random options than just the pair of hands. But regardless, a tremendous treat to play, and I thank you for all the work put into this awesome game.

Whilst it would be difficult for VR, a more animated/violent death animation could definitely be great, more specifically for Demons and more aggressive ghosts. Probably not generic pop up jump scares, but being choked out or something could definitely be a cool anim.

Violent deaths can work just as well in VR as 2D (so long as it's done properly, but that's true of anything)

I learned that from RE7 when "what's-her-face" gets too close with the chainsaw and shoves it right in your gut, driving it upwards X< Plus there's when you get chewed on by the Molded.. when Marguerite bursts through the wall all deformed grabbing you.. and like JJRipper mentioned, being choked by Jack Baker lol.

All of them were pretty scary/uncomfortable/brutal and definitely made you not want to die again lol. And this was without a body and manipulative hands

But like you said Liam. Could be a bit too difficult to get everything right so it's not super janky. All depends how it's put together

I was never scared of the death animation from the very first time I saw it. All the tension and fear comes from dying itself, not the animation, at least for me.

Death animation is w/e, for me.
I'm actually more scared of dying and losing all my stuff.

And ofc ghosts and the atmosphere are spooky af.

Yeah, I've never played VR. I don't know it's limitations in the slightest. Even if animation was an issue, I think a bigger library of intimidating screams, moans, and threats would go a long long way. I remember the first time I watched the Haunting of Hill House and heard "get ... out.... GET OUT!" I freaked. More of that would make me extremely happy to hear. I got to say I am actually pretty happy with how little I get a good look at the Ghost, that is the real creep factor for me, is on half the hunts, I was lucky to even catch a look at it, if I won, or if I died.

I feel like adding more whispering in your ear and stuff would make it scarier

I just noticed the other day (after playing for over a week) that some ghosts (mare?) will hum and sing if you listen closely when they show themselves/spawn. Scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me when I was hiding and a mare stomped by me singing.

As for the animations, i'd love to see a new one with the female model with the giant mouth/razor teeth where she pushes you down, climbs on top of you and the last thing you see is her unhinging that thing and biting down onto your face.

I have to break with the game for few days, because now it's not scary anymore. Even in asylum alone I make fun of the ghost xD
