ARAYA

I truely believe this game is best played in VR, If your looking for a regular horror game(non VR) this game may not be for you. But if you have a Oculus Rift and want something atmospheric and creepy give this a try. With the headset on and volume high i genuinely find myself not wanting to explore at times.

ARAYA is a horror game set in an abandoned hospital where you will play as three main characters. Story can be a bit confusing at first since three characters will have different parts of the story that will eventually come together after you keep progressing through the main storyline.

To begin, a technical NOTE for VR: Make sure you are seating on a chair in front of your computer monitor before launching the game from Steam. You can find yourself above the character player's body if you don't do so. Took me a while to figure it out, I nearly ended up asking for a refund. The game itself as I envisioned it to be, was not exactly how I envisioned it. It is a very inspirational VR horror game for...

This is a good play for about 5-6 hours (maybe 10 if you NEED all those achievements). The game relies on high-quality sound to get its best jump scares.

With that understanding this is what survival horror is all about. The story starts out...
