Maid of Sker VR

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] I gave this game the benefit of the doubt. I played it once and ran into a game-breaking bug. If you start the game launch option with OpenXR, the game will bug out during the first telephone booth. You're supposed to get dialogue options, instead the game bugs out and doesn't let you move or interact with anything. You're just stuck there. I changed from OpenXR launch option to the Steam VR launch option and was able to get around this game-breaking bug. So I gave the game another chance and this time I got much further into the game. I finally had to use my inventory and that's when I came across another very annoying bug. There's a huge black rectangle in your view that you cannot get rid of when you use your inventory. It blocks your view. I would say it's game-breaking, but I guess you can play if you can manage to move it outside your view. Either way it's super annoying to deal with. However, that's enough for me to tap out. I lost a lot of my progress as well. I would say the game is nearly unplayable. It's unpleasant enough for me that I do not want to continue dealing with the bugs. You can view my gameplay here dealing with 1s…

The cinematic cutscenes are just BRILLIANT! You have to walk around a lot and explore a lot! Especially at the beginning (this could be a plus or a minus for some players) Dude, just hold your breath if the “Silent One” is nearby (it'll throw him off) +++ No silly jump scares—the whole focus is on the atmosphere and the feeling that “SOMEONE ELSE IS NEARBY.” The MUSIC is mesmerizing, terrifying, and intriguing... I’m happy with everything except the price of the game (even with the discount). It’s way too expensive, guys!

I'm 90% sure I bought this and got 2 other games by the devs for free with it, which was SUPER weird to me, especially as those games were trash? But maybe they're looking for exposure? Just worth a mention. THIS game, however, looks like it's promising. I've only played about an hour at the time of this review but it's definitely got some good creepy/puzzle light elements. I'm not expecting a full on shooter game (it's a horror genre after all) and I'm curious about all the "hiding" spots that I can't interact with....yet? But currently, at the surface, this game has promise. For now, I give it a tentative "yes" because it does seem like they put a lot of heart and soul into it, even if it's not the most "cutting edge" graphically (the graphics arent bad, but they're not stellar either). The controls are head and shoulders above another game by the same development team but I'm still a bit miffed that I can't look at something from a few feet away and "interact" with it to "pull" it to me. Call me spoiled - I don't really want to be on top of something to interact with it unless there's an actual necessity for it. Anyway, consider giving this one a buy. I'm a picky gamer (as…

This is a great stealth horror game. If you don't like tip-toeing around the scary monsters and patiently waiting for your moment to move, you will not enjoy this game. But I LOVED it. I enjoyed scouring every single room for the collectibles and "quest" items. The story was great and felt unique. The graphics felt a bit dated- especially at the beginning in the outdoor scenes. Please don't quit in the first 15 mins on account of the graphics. I promise- it looks so much better once you are indoors. It has some really cool looking rooms/scenes. I also enjoyed the voice acting and the music. The VR interactions were minimal, but that doesn't bother me. I play a lot of flat to VR modded games and this at least has less "point and click" than many of those do. I appreciate the devs making this natively playable in VR.

This could have been a great game. It isn't. It has really good visuals and a unique gameplay feature. That's all the good parts. It is an unoptimized mess with bugs, stutters, and freezes. The locations seem to be mostly taken from other games, like 7th Guest, but not done as well. The environment is totally stale- even when it looks really good you can't interact with anything except the item you need to progress. Which leaves you just walking around aimlessly (the map and clues are about worthless) looking for the tiny dot that says "I'm here" even though you can't see it most of the time. I'm about 3/4 of the way through. I don't think I am going to finish it. It isn't worth my time. Just too frustrating and unrewarding. It's a shame because it wouldn't take much to be really good. I got it on sale at $20. Maybe a recommend at $10. Windows 11 5 GhZ wifi through an extender AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d 32 GB Ram GeoForce RTX 5080 1 TB storage Quest 2 Virtual Desktop

absolutely terrifying if you love stealth vr. physically holding your breath in real life for that adrenaline rush is real. using the sound modulator makes the hide and seek actually tense instead of just mindless walking. solid pickup if you enjoy deep lore and almost having a heart attack
