This game looks really cool, and the backstory is really interesting. I'm pretty sure it was inspired by the Dyatlov Pass incident, but it does a really good job freaking you out even if it's over nothing. The first time I played last night, I kept freaking out that I would spontaniously combust, that's how bad this game can get you. It's not about Jump-Scares, and it's about the atmosphere which this title does extremely well. I'll be editing this review once I get further.

About This Game
Gherman Driven, a middle-aged man, fanatical conspiracy theorist, who has abandoned all joy of his life.
Family, friends, work. Gherman remained without anything because of his obsession with the "Philadelphia experiment", which led him to neglect every other aspect of his life.
11 years after the events of the alleged experiment, Gherman found a document that marked the coordinates of the military establishment in which all involved in the project were taken.
After spending all the savings of a lifetime for trip to Greenland, certainly he did not expect to find so much...
A story-driven horror where the goal is to find out what lies behind the experiment.
All that you have is a flashlight, a lighter, and your intelligence to solve various environmental puzzles, escape from unpleasant situations and hide from what you find.
This game was developed to be played perfectly in virtual reality.
Each menu, object, or text, will be implemented in the game to allow who will use the Head Mounted Display to have a realistic effect.
All you have to do to activate this mode, it's open the game menu and activate "VRMode" in the "Graphic Settings".
I'll hope you enjoy it.
I'm 20 years old, this is my first game and it's a one-man-project.
I learned to use the engine, techniques and everything related to the development of a video game with this project.
I hope you like, and leave feedback if you want :)

Great VR game... Very scary!!!! one of the best VR games i have played on steam. We need more games like this .
wow what can i say iv been playing this for a week now and cant get off it one of the best horror games iv seen in years i cant what to see what come next if you like horror this is a good one for you
I originally bought the game not realizing it was Oculus only, but now it's somehow working with my Vive Pro. There is one issue though. You are probably meant to be about 6 feet tall, but the camera placement has you at about 8 feet tall. Though this did not prevent me from completing the game. If you so chose, you can play the game crouched on Vive, putting you at about the right height and most of the time can still sprint, even while crouched. There was one small section, where you're in a low duct filled with water. For that one section, I had to get off my chair and get down on the ground to be low enough to see, but it's not a big section and it's late in the game. As for the game itself it was pretty good. Much longer than many VR horror games. Great atmosphere. Decent puzzles. A little problem with some of the translations, but I enjoyed playing it. Definitely worth the price. Glad I finally got to play it. Rock On!
While waiting for regular priced HTC Vives arriving in Austria, I bought myself a VR Headset for my mobile phone and accidently stumbled upon Riftcat, which enables you to stream Vive and Oculus VR games from your PC to your mobile phone. As far as I can tell this works really great (I am using an LG G3) and costed me less than 50 Euros! Riftcat contains a demo version of Amigdala and that's how I found this game. Now I bought it on Steam and after solving two problems (first I was floating a few meter above the floor and after fixing this I could see a blue horizontal line from Vive's chaperone system, which I could also get rid of) it works perfectly with Riftcat. By the way, my system is an i7-2600K / GTX-970 and the game runs smoothly with less than 50% GPU load using default Riftcat settings (i.e. 1920x1080 with 60 FPS). I have read a lot of negative reviews about this game, like the slow walking speed, the poor voice acting, and a few bugs. Although this is all true I do not car...
Great Vr experience
I must say that Amigdala is one of the most intersting games that i havew ever played. It has a very different vibe to it and even though it has vewry few if any jumpscares, i still think that it was an overall okay game. The graphics are pretty great and intensity is extreme. The only think that concerns me a little about this game is the story. I must say tyhat it is a little confusing at some points and i was kind of lost throught the game as there really is no sort of objectives, But overall i reccomend this game and it's worth a try.
Amigdala shows what happens if you just "turn the VR switch on" in an FPS game. You get motion sickness as soon as you try to move or turn your character. You get a menu that is glued to your face. You get players that quit after 5 minutes and leave a bad review because they know it's going to be barf-city if they keep playing.
revised my review. Apologies, not sure why what went wrong the first try. I give it a thumbs up, with a comment on the voice acting.
Goes through catatombs. Finds thin tunnel. Finds bloody man of floor. Approaches with caution. Sees it does no harm. Walks towards gear. Turns gear. Man gets up and mauls me. Turns off game. 10/10
