Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul

This game looked very cool, but I dont have VR but says its playable with keyboard and mouse. Sweet! I tried and it looks good the game. But the controls ruined it. Im sure its awesome with VR. BUT I couldn't enjoy playing with the confusing controls and playing with VR hands? It was weird and didnt work. If you plan on playing VR I guess I'd recommend it. But without you will not enjoy fighting with the stupid VR hands tryna grab things.

The idea is half decent and it's actually pretty scary, however in VR (I used quest 3) I had to HOLD DOWN the button to move instead of just pushing it forward which is incredibly annoying, in desktop mode you can only move in 1 direction at a time , you can't move forward and left, you have to go either forward or left, plus desktop mode is a bad port

I was thinking a long time if I would give positive or negative review, i think its somewhere in the middle. I would definitelly not recommend this game for the full price, the story is short and counts on the longer progress, since there is really very easy to miss things that the game need you to do, since its heavily scripted that way, i was lost for long time with these things. On the other way if u forgive all of these things then u can actually make alternate ending or just enjoy the main story, which is not masterpiece, but i think this game is especially made for being scary in VR and i think it can be in non-VR too. I wanted to play it as a fan of the Paranormal Activity movie, but i didnt found a lot in common, excluding the same house really. Thankfully this VR game have non VR mode, but on the other hand controls are still like in VR mode, so it's not comfortable really.

You can't buy this game on steam anymore so i'm leaving this review for the people like me who have it in their library and are considering giving it a shot. The (VR) game is decent, some of the visuals and ideas here and there are nice, i don't think it's THAT scary but some of the people here in the reviews seem to have lost their minds and soiled themselves playing it so you be the judge of that. Horror in VR hits different so it's nice to have these experiences so it's hard not to recommend the game. Sometimes it just takes a dark hallway to trigger that "i don't really wanna go there" feeling. The game also has non-vr controls, i wouldn't recommend that, i feel like it would be very boring by non-vr game standards. Movement is atrocious, one hand does the forward-backward motion and the other does left-right so sometimes it feels a bit janky trying to move around an open door to enter a room either by doing mind-numbing tank control maneuvering or holding forward and turning in place like an idiot. That was a bit frustrating to me. The story is around 1 to 2 hours depending on how much time you waste trying the same locked doors in the wrong side of the house like me. Price-wi…

Zoinks Scoob! Like they really have Paranormal Activity in this house that's for sure! Aside from that it's a fun little horror game based on the Paranormal Activity Movies. Enjoyed It!

Amazing experience. It's so immersive and scary, that it made me find out just how much of a p***y I actually am.
