Slasher VR

[h1]Played On: [b]HTC Vive[/b][/h1] In Slasher VR, players take on the role of an undercover reporter that has been sent to the town of Waterbury to investigate a string of murders that have been committed by a serial killer known only as The Executioner. Starting off in a dark motel room, an ominous call from a woman leads gamers to believe that there is more to the story than meets the eye, as it seems that the reporter has a deeper connection with the individual. However, this plot point isn't explored any further, other than in a short, anti-climatic end scene. The gameplay itself is unique, and Slasher VR seems to be the first game to incorporate 360 FMV sequences alongside a couple of fully explorable areas. It's reminiscent of old FMV horror games such as Harvester and Phantasmagoria, though with subtle modern twists and in a first-person point of view. The title also comes with a B-Grade quality akin to these older games, with bad acting and cheesy dialogue to complete the en...

i liked it. controls were straight forward with the vive. the experience takes a new approach, mixing together 360 3d movies and gameworld. it gave me some pretty good scares. good content at a good price!

Slasher VR is not a bad game especially at this price point but it does leave a lot to be desired for. As someone who regulary plays horror games, watches horror movies, and was a total nerd writing horror fictions in my earlier years I like any game that can actually surprise me and catch me off guard. This game relies on two of the biggest tropes out there "jump scares" and ominious music. What I Liked: The ominious music and ambient sounds are actually quite good and more than once kept me unnerved. I'd hear a footstep and quickly turn around to find nothing behind me. Stuff like that is always enjoyable because it creates that fun adrenaline rush of fear. The jumpscares are pretty predictable but still good for a scare. What I Disliked: This game uses a mixture of virtual reality and 360 video. The virtual reality footage isn't that bad in all honesty and does a pretty good job of recreating of the 360 video landscape. But the 360 video is where it breaks immersion at lea...

I know... its cheap but any way.... that sux 1. No text in menu of tutorial how to move etc... Ok no problem i can do my best and its not so hard to understand how to move and grab stuff etc Open dore and go to bar... black screen.... Ok Investigate the house: Few sec latrer the COMPLETELY FLAT thing like got me and then another black screen after death i think ))) !!! PROS: is very good at scale things, feels like in real room and the objects is as it shold be in real world. But cant play... may be its VIVE only?... So if you have an oculus with touch you can play but probably will appear same bugs. I dont believe just hope some of the issues will be fixed in the future =)

don't even bother getting this game tried playing it on a oculus and it is complete garbage not to mention the screen goes grey most of the freaking time when playing it

Just a heads up, this review has spoilers. despite the illusion of choice given to you in this game 99% of what you do in this game DOES NOT MATTER, and 80% of the choices will just get you the bad ending/game over screen. checking in on all the locations does nothing to affect the good end of the game where you survive the killers fury. The ending you ask? after escaping a basement set up by the off-brand Ghostface the person who called your character in to investigate the murders (who is probably the killer) suddenly tells you to leave town for your safety, which makes NO SENSE. After an hour of sifting through the iffy controls you don't even get to find out who the killer is! As for the VR aspect, it was done poorly, during EVERY cutscene there's this weird black border directly outside your line of sight to keep you from turning around to see the camera man for when they were recording all this. Not to mention when your presented with a choice its fixed to a point of view on the h...

This is probably the cheapest VR game I've played, both in terms of how it looks and its actual price. It's also the first VR game I've played that uses real video for its cut-scenes, which is cool, and I'd like to see this explored more in VR. This game takes place in the first season of the TV series 'Slasher.' The name being attached to this game is the sole reason I had any interest in this game, but seeing the $0.99 base price amounted to an immediate purchase. After about six minutes of gameplay, I was met with the "Thank you for playing Slasher" message. Yup. I died and lost the game in about six minutes. That's the summary of my first adventure with this game. Of course, there is much more to see from this game, I'm sure, and I plan to explore it more later, but if you're looking for a professionally made tie-in with the value of something along the lines of Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul, or John Wick, you'll probably be disappointed. I don't think this game is anything s...
