About You are next

"You are next" is a murder mystery for Virtual Reality. Gather your detective instinct and identify the killer! Fight against the clock to solve your coming murder and get out of the room as soon as possible.

It is a peaceful morning when, suddenly, an alarm goes off. The decontamination of the flat has been activated and will kill you in two hours if you don't leave the room. You use your fingerprint to unlock the exit door but it refuses to open. Someone has changed the identification system. You need to find who has modified it to use their fingerprint and escape. To collect information, you need to go into your memory and identify who could have the means, the motives and the opportunity to murder you. But be careful, things are not as obvious as they seem to be.

I actually can't believe this is a free game, it's to good to be free even if it is short and you're done once you completed it. Of course maybe my expectations were low because it is free but I like the story so much I really needed to complete the ending succesfully to know what happened. I did find it more or less a guess at the end what would be the right solution even though I completed almost every thing and got every clue but it was intriguing and it all worked well streaming from my deskop pc to my Quest 2 VR set.

Игра "You are next" - это напряженный и захватывающий хоррор-платформер, который держит в напряжении от начала до конца. Пиксельная графика создает гнетущую атмосферу, усиливая чувство уязвимости и постоянной опасности. Сюжет, хоть и минималистичный, эффективно нагнетает саспенс: ты просыпаешься в мрачном месте, не помня ничего, и единственное, что тебе остается - бежать. Геймплей строится на исследовании запутанных уровней, решении простых головоломок и, что самое главное, постоянном избегании смертоносных существ. Игра не прощает ошибок, каждое неверное движение может стать последним. Это делает каждый успех особенно ценным. Звуковое сопровождение выше всяких похвал: скрипы, вздохи и неясные шорохи создают давящую атмосферу, предвещая неизбежную встречу с кошмаром. Понравилась разнообразность способов преодоления препятствий и то, как враги по-разному реагируют на окружение. Несмотря на нарочитую простоту, игра оставляет глубокое впечатление и заставляет задуматься о своей беспомощности перед лицом неизвестного. Рекомендую всем любителям хорроров, которым важен не только скример, но и гнетущая атмосфера, которая постепенно проникает в сознание. Не каждый ее выдержит!

I am playing this game at this moment. It is a little hard to follow, but I’m getting used to it maybe a little bit of introduction before you wake up in your room and you can’t get out because someone changed your security system and your fingerprint won’t work maybe something that gives a little clue as to what is going on in, the world it was only later on that I heard that it was a third world war, and the girl was looking for a job and then it seems that they are involved in some reproductive experiments that effect students in school …

I couldn't follow this at all. It all seemed quite incoherent. I ended up swapping back and forth endlessly between memories before I gave up and uninstalled.
