In Heart-Lung Machine you awaken in a dark abandoned underground facility with only a flickering flashlight. As you navigate the eerie corridors, you must search for items such as batteries or objective related items to ensure your survival and save passage. The game features realistic hiding mechanics, requiring you to physically crouch behind objects, crawl into shafts, slide under tables, or squeeze into lockers to evade a relentless monster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwdCCXrGj5M The game presents an unpredictable and relentless challenge. This unpredictability combined with the game's immersive VR experience creates a deeply unsettling atmosphere. The constant tension and fear of being discovered by the monster contribute to the game's ability to instill genuine fear in players. Overall, Heart-Lung Machine offers a unique and terrifying VR horror experience that keeps you on edge from start to finish.

Even though its a really small (20 minutes max with safe mode) game, this monstrosity has some serious horror atmosphere which can only be described as nerve wrecking. The game is really basic but works really well in vr and the story behind it is in my opinion quite disturbing. I was physically sweating in some areas out of pure fear, i've only felt like this in 2 other instances: 1. the headcrab infested hotel from HL Alyx and 2. the spider tunnels from Metro Awakening. This has the potential to become the next poppy playtime or fnaf BUT in vr, which makes it waaayyyy more scarier and gives it more potential. I hope to see a continuation of this or atleast some kind of extra content. 8.5/10 minimal content, nerve wrecking atmosphere, intense monster, disturbing lore, alright mechanics

Very short game, but it makes up for it with good horror and story elements. It has an intriguing story and a very dark environment. The ambient sound and environment are very well done, very immersive. The flashlight doesn't illuminate much, which is both good and weird. The lack of footstep sounds during normal movement breaks the immersion quite a bit, though sprinting does have them. There's some replay value with the achievements too. Always support your indie devs.

A locker hidding horror game. Outlast has done irreparable damage to the horror genre. You walk through hallways to find a key item then hide in a locker... in VR. The monster isn't scary, the environment is a bit scary if I could see anything with out oh you guessed it a flashlight mechanic exactly like Outlast. The game is fine and functions as advertised but it just doesn't do anything new or innovative. I recommend this game if you played Outlast and thought, "Man I just love refilling batteries and hiding in lockers".

Played the game for about 30 minutes or so. Seems very solid for one Dev and for what it is. Graphic isnt the best, but it does the trick. I do definetly support indie games and devs like this. Ah and btw i poopied myself multiple times. Scary as hell.

Amazing horror environment, short if you know what you're supposed to do but it took me a while to actually figure where everything was and how the monster behaves. The lack of lighting is a double edged sword where it adds to the horror aspect but is kinda frustrating until you get used to it. Overall a nice experience but might be too scary for some people

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
