Although there are a few opponent types, they don’t differ much in terms of physical size. I’d call it a negative if it weren’t for the fact that the narrative goes fast enough and the ghosts are scary enough to make it less of a problem for me.Įnemies are always quicker than you and are sensitive to the sound of your footsteps, so if you can throw a bottle across the room to attract their attention, you have some freedom. The majority of the game’s efforts to encourage you to explore the home are focused on fetch quests. I wouldn’t call hiding in a closet a superpower, but it was something I excelled at. You don’t realize it straight away, so your only real power is to force-grab tiny objects and either stash them in your floating inventory (there’s no holster system) or throw them to distract opponents from your current position.

You’re remarkably physical for a ghost, at least at first, until you learn to walk through barriers. Beyond that, you have no clue what occurred, but your evil alter ego has some ideas as he leads you on a road of discovery, peril, and perhaps redemption. You’re a photojournalist called Ed Miller, and after a séance gone wrong, you’ve been tethered to the spot where you died. It’s a bit rough around the edges at times, but it mostly delivers on its promise of frights, intrigue, and lots of hiding à la Alien: Isolation.

You don’t have to be a fan of Masquerade to visit the game’s vast house, avoid wailing ghosts, and uncover a fascinating narrative focused on a cabal of Hollywood types who are sufficiently scary right from the start. Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife is a single-player horror adventure based in the legendary ‘World of Darkness’ world. Taking place in a virtual world where you are trapped in a school of monsters, you must find a way to escape.

We all know that VR is an exciting new concept, but just how exciting is it? How many people are actually interested in VR? How many people actually own one? And, most importantly, how many people actually play VR games? Well, it turns out the answers to these questions are less than you’d think.Ī new VR game has made its way onto the Oculus Store, and it’s called ‘Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife’. This game combines a first-person immersive experience with a third-person action/adventure game, sort of like Mirror’s Edge meets Resident Evil meets Tomb Raider, with a dash of Mirror’s Edge 2. Amongst all the other virtual reality experiences out there, one of the best is a horror game called, “Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife”.
