About Nevrosa: Prelude

✦ AI summary

Navigate a dreamlike Art Deco nightmare using only your own walking and trigger-based interactions to solve creepy puzzle machines while avoiding deadly creatures that stalk you. This VR prologue ditches teleportation for immersive redirect walking and branches into multiple endings based on your choices, setting the stage for a full horror experience.

You woke up in a strange place — is it a dream or reality? What do you need to do? Are you alone here?

A sneak peak into Nevrosa world that brings new gameplay mechanics to VR games:
  • Redirect walking — we don't use teleport or any other locomotion system. You'll have to do it on your own but don't go beyond your chaperone! You can get on youtube!
  • No jumpscares.
  • You just take things with your hands and only one button is used — press a trigger on your controller to interact.
  • Oh and you can die. And probably will.

Original puzzles, dark atmosphere and creepy creature and a creepy creature that follows you will help you to prepare for the upcoming full-time escape-horror experience that will finish the story you have started.

Some more things you'll probably find in Nevrosa: Prelude
  • Art deco-inspired environment filled with creepy puzzle machines is waiting to share it’s secrets.
  • Survival horror elements: strange creatures hide in this room… What will happen when you meet?
  • An evil artifact in your hands: why does it follow you? Does it whisper something or is it just in your head?
  • Dark soundtrack with position sound system.
  • Different endings: you decide how this nightmare ends.

"Nevrosa: Prelude" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Nevrosa: Primal Ritual". Nevrosa: Primal Ritual is a mediocre Russian VR tech demo with almost certainly flipped assets, weak gameplay... and that product was, unsurprisingly, a complete and utter failure as the developers cash grab ultimately failed. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Nevrosa: Primal Ritual, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Nevrosa: Prelude" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $20 USD on buying Nevrosa: Primal Ritual, and I don't recommend you do that either. This game is fairly dated at 8 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, …

The roomscale movement is pretty rough (at least for my playarea - long thin rectangle) and you can see why basically no modern VR games do things that way. Still, This demo is so well done. The puzzles are clever and there are many creepy moments (getting that key bro...). Very well done, especially for an early VR game. I'm likely going to buy the full game at some point, I just hope the roomscale aspect doesn't make it impossible for me to finish in my playarea.

Игра Nevrosa: Prelude погружает в атмосферу мрачного психологического хоррора, где каждый шорох и каждый проблеск света заставляют сердце биться чаще. Разработчики умело нагнетают напряжение, используя минимум ресурсов, но достигая максимального эффекта. Сюжет, хоть и развивается неспешно, постепенно раскрывает зловещие тайны, заставляя игрока постоянно задаваться вопросом: что реально, а что — плод больного воображения? Графика, выполненная в стилистике нуара, отлично дополняет гнетущую атмосферу, а звуковое сопровождение становится настоящим испытанием для нервов. Nevrosa: Prelude – это не игра для слабонервных, но для любителей жанра она станет настоящим подарком, полным саспенса и пугающих открытий.

Nice experience, short but impressive. It's free just give it a try. (no Teleport Locomotion - only roomscale but very little space needed)

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.
