Slasher VR

[h1]Played On: [b]HTC Vive[/b][/h1] In Slasher VR, players take on the role of an undercover reporter that has been sent to the town of Waterbury to investigate a string of murders that have been committed by a serial killer known only as The Executioner. Starting off in a dark motel room, an ominous call from a woman leads gamers to believe that there is more to the story than meets the eye, as it seems that the reporter has a deeper connection with the individual. However, this plot point isn't explored any further, other than in a short, anti-climatic end scene. The gameplay itself is unique, and Slasher VR seems to be the first game to incorporate 360 FMV sequences alongside a couple of fully explorable areas. It's reminiscent of old FMV horror games such as Harvester and Phantasmagoria, though with subtle modern twists and in a first-person point of view. The title also comes with a B-Grade quality akin to these older games, with bad acting and cheesy dialogue to complete the ensemble. There's no tutorial, however there are only a couple of buttons that can be used, one to move, and one to pick up items, and as such the controls aren't difficult to figure out. With that sai…

i liked it. controls were straight forward with the vive. the experience takes a new approach, mixing together 360 3d movies and gameworld. it gave me some pretty good scares. good content at a good price!

I know... its cheap but any way.... that sux 1. No text in menu of tutorial how to move etc... Ok no problem i can do my best and its not so hard to understand how to move and grab stuff etc Open dore and go to bar... black screen.... Ok Investigate the house: Few sec latrer the COMPLETELY FLAT thing like got me and then another black screen after death i think ))) !!! PROS: is very good at scale things, feels like in real room and the objects is as it shold be in real world. But cant play... may be its VIVE only?... So if you have an oculus with touch you can play but probably will appear same bugs. I dont believe just hope some of the issues will be fixed in the future =)

don't even bother getting this game tried playing it on a oculus and it is complete garbage not to mention the screen goes grey most of the freaking time when playing it

Just a heads up, this review has spoilers. despite the illusion of choice given to you in this game 99% of what you do in this game DOES NOT MATTER, and 80% of the choices will just get you the bad ending/game over screen. checking in on all the locations does nothing to affect the good end of the game where you survive the killers fury. The ending you ask? after escaping a basement set up by the off-brand Ghostface the person who called your character in to investigate the murders (who is probably the killer) suddenly tells you to leave town for your safety, which makes NO SENSE. After an hour of sifting through the iffy controls you don't even get to find out who the killer is! As for the VR aspect, it was done poorly, during EVERY cutscene there's this weird black border directly outside your line of sight to keep you from turning around to see the camera man for when they were recording all this. Not to mention when your presented with a choice its fixed to a point of view on the headset screen meaning your going to go cross-eyed if you attempt to read the choices. The game is okay, and it definitely reeks of being an advertisment for another low quality CW11 drama series, but …
