| TerrorBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming | 2024-02-29 | Hey, it's been a long time. We're very excited to be featured in "The ultimate exploration and celebration of horror in video games." I will be talking about the inception of VR horror, the creation of A Chair in a Room, what I had to consider when Writing The Exorcist: Legion VR and working with highly esteemed (and Oscar winning) licenced IP. It's shaping up to be "Five 60-minute episodes plus 15+ hours of online events, including Q&As with the biggest names in horror gaming." It's genuinely an exciting project to be involved with and we're really looking forward to being able to watch it - except cringing at the bits that I open my mouth! |

| 60% off for the summer sale! | 2019-06-29 | "One of Vive’s scariest games to date in A Chair in a Room: Greenwater. I spent about 3 hours tip-toeing my way through the story and still get goosebumps when I think about the things I saw on my adventure. " - UploadVR "...this is a genuinely horrifying but encapsulating game. I’ve never wanted to push through a game that I simultaneously wanted to wimp out of at the same time, but that’s what is so brilliant about A Chair in a Room: Greenwater." - Game Pitt "I don't normally write reviews, but this game deserves a huge thumbs up. Wow. Just wow." - winglessraven https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/12000741/b78 |
