I promise it is worth it if you get a few other friends on a PC to run a round chasing you.

The visuals once in VR were great and fit well with the isometric view from the other player's point of view. We figured out that hitting spacebar did something, but we never entirely figured out what it did and were surprised every time the darkness won as all the rooms were up in flames. The one great part about having the game in VR were the occasional ghost jumpscares, but with the speed everything moved, that was a rare occurrence and did not really allow for reactions. Overall I wish there was a larger focus on what the person in VR could see or do, and maybe just in general making it more user friendly, but otherwise great game.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"VRTX","author_uid":"1188591","time":"2020-04-23T16:39:41Z","epoch":1587659981,"modified":1587659981,"text":"took a sec to understand but i really enjoyed this game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"DeCarlos","author_uid":1194066,"time":"2020-04-24T00:32:03Z","epoch":1587688323,"modified":1587688323,"text":"@ka-missa  @wiredoverload  @alchemic @nehvis  we've recently updated the build and if yall wanna try it out.
