About ChainMan

CHAINMAN is a Japanese made VR Survival Horror with strong stealth gameplay.

You awake on an island with your arms restrained in chains as blood curdling groans advance on you. With no way to fight back you must use a combination of light mechanics, and the information left by other survivors to traverse the night and stay hidden from the horror that looms in the darkness.

・ Flares are your only distractions. Crates and barrels your only hiding spots.

・ Each enemy has a varied ability to see and hear you. Be careful not to approach some and weary not to shine light on others.

・ You must acquire certain provisions to advance through the island and escape. Predict the enemy's movement and find a route to safety.

・ It takes 2-3 hours to reach the normal ending.
Play more for an alternate ending.

BUILD NOTE:
We plan to update the CHAINMAN experience by the end of September. We will implement a multiplayer mode in which one player uses the pc and the other uses a VR headset.

As we’re a Japanese studio, please help us to create great VR experiences for all audiences, not only the Japanese. Let us know what we need to consider? The do’s the dont’s, the must haves and wants? We greatly value your feedback and hope to hear your constructive comments.

I work for Helixxvr and the Devs sent us a Key for Chainman. It was passed onto our reviewers, Who privately live stream the game so we can all watch and make comments. no After watching for 5 minutes i Purchased the game for myself. Very rarely do i do that but this game blew me away. I love Horror games, I love being scared and i love seeing Developers that think outside the Box. This game ticks all those boxes. I idea is simple survive, get off the island and possibly find your friends. but with no weapons your hands in chains, Puzzles to solve and the island over run with Zombies its no that simple. The game uses directional sound very well to give you the feeling that something is always behind you ready to pounce. I have to admit i jumped on more than one occasion because i knocked a box over that i didnt see or a Zombie came running at me. I have made it so far to episode 2 and the devs have said there is about 2-3 hours play in this game but more to come at a later date and a coop mode as well. If you are reading this to decide to buy the game or not i say purchase it, give it a go just make sure you have clean underwear handy. This is currently battling for…

It's ok ish I suppose, worth £5-£8 tops maybe, not worth anything like the asking price, just a bit naff really. Outlast it is not. So negative review is only because of price, it's just simply not worth the money imho ymmd.

I was really hoping I would like this game. Monstrum and Alien Isolation are some of my favorite stealth horror games and I was hoping this game would bring some of that action for a full VR experience (Monstrum is great in VR but is controller input and wasn't built for VR). But this game is just completely lacking any polish and it feels like it's in beta or early access instead of a full release. The first thing that's off putting is the grapics. They are below average, with pretty low textures. Well, at least the game ran fine so that's good. The default locomotion is terrible. I had to change the menu options to trackpad or joystick locomotion for smoother gameplay. The left, right on the joystick, however, will turn you left or right instead of moving left or right so that's an unfortunate dev decision (why not left right on the left controller moves you left or right and then the right controller turns you in way you want like most games?) The main thing that makes me not recommend this game is the stealth mechanic. It is not good at all. You can literally have a zombie see you, but then you press trigger to get into the barrel and the zombie for whatever reason…
