Bug Fixes:

-Increased lighting in some dark areas to better aid progression
-Fixed various "spooky events" that were causing trouble

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS:

Requires PC Gamepad, Oculus Rift and Headphones.

Use the left control stick to move your character.
Press the 'A' Button to interact with glowing yellow notes and to interact with yellow arrows (look for the sparkle).

Reading notes progress the story and the yellow arrows move you to the next location.

Thanks John!


Neither of us actually has an Oculus Rift so this whole game was developed without the use of the hardware! As a result of this, we don't have any awesome gameplay footage! If anyone feels compelled to review our game, please let me know on this thread or contact me via PM! We would be eternally grateful. 🙂

About:

Home alone on a Friday night the slow winding of the midnight hour begins to drive you to madness. Leaping from the safety of your couch you recall your recent purchase of the latest adventure horror video game. You begin to delve deep into the eerie story. As the game progresses so does the feeling of a dark presence coming to life around you. A dark presence from the game.

An immersive VR experience in which the sights and sounds of your video game come alive in the comfort of your own home. Players remain stationary for the duration of the experience and use a gamepad to navigate the adventure horror game. Advancing will spawn a variety of creepy and frightening events in your house. If you can make it to the end, you’ve won.

Like the concept, but it might work better if the control/screen were closer, given the SD rifts resolution.

Also allowing the player to move around the house could add a much more suspenseful experience.

Excellent idea. Reminds me of Jumanji. Can't wait to try it out.

Hey everyone. Here's an update for todays milestone. Above is an early gameplay test - I apologize for the lack of sound and the missing dynamic 'spooky' events - they are being fine tuned for next weeks milestone.

Really liking the simulation component of this game. Looking forward to playing it!

I assume the looking around is a reaction to sounds, but I'm not getting any sound on the vid.
Still very excited about your final product...

Okay... hah. This is a fun idea.

I'm always amazed at how easy it is sometimes to disconnect from the room around me when wearing the headset. There comes a point where I'm in there and I think... my real body could be anywhere. Logically I know I'm in (the room) but... I could take this headset off and be somewhere completely different.

So, being in a living room gaming while I'm in a living room gaming? That could get weird.

Now if only there was some way to do a quick 3d scan of my actual living room

Interesting concept.

Could do some cool "Eternal Darkness" style mind tricks.

Still learning the ins and outs of Riftness. How do you recommend viewing your YouTube video?
