    More consistent is the creeping sense of dread throughout, an atmosphere that's built on Robot Invader's preference for slow realisation over jump scares. [Tested with Oculus Rift; June 2016, p.118]

It has great atmosphere and just the right amount of jumpscares to keep you on your toes. Puzzles are very logical and easy, and there are a lot of them for 2-3 hour long game.

    Some nitpicks:
    - visuals are not very good + point and click movement is VR is kinda clumsy, but it doesn't break the immersion too much
    - "alternative vision" introduced early in game is way underused, could be much more interesting and creepy    … Full Review »

    Dead Secret is a 3 and a half hour long murder mystery horror game
    This game can be played on console both regularly and with psvr
    The game takes place in 1965 Kansas.. You set out to investigate the murder of a professor, find out who murdered them and their motives...
    right off the bat you’ll notice from this game that there is no freedom when it comes to mobility...
    this is the game’s biggest flaw..
    Its very point and click adventurey, you click to a point in the room and your character will walk to it, you can then look around the area your character walks to and interact with the different items to find items to take with you, as well as find pieces to the story...
    a story that I just didn’t find interesting..
    There are creepy aspects to this game...
    you’ll construct a mask that when put on your see a ghost of a demon... and occasionally while playing a demon will come into the room to try and kill you... It’s up to you in that moment to find an escape route... again without being able to move freely...
    these moments are a little tense. But not that tense...
    they just feel a bit annoying…
    the puzzle and problem solving here is pretty easy as well which I appreciate.
    I don’t like getting stuck in game... but I feel areas were a little too short lived with only 1 or 2 puzzles to solve before moving on and getting an item to go back to a previous area for a different item...
    overall Dead Secret is just not an impressive, immersive, or even scary game..
    The house is no fun to explore, there were never any cool or interesting moments, the adventure aspects are mediocre… I appreciate them, but they did nothing for me... the story just kind of feels there while at the same time is the entire games focus, there are 5 different endings, but nothing pulled me in to care about finding them.. especially sicne I got the true ending my first try, and the horror elements are just laughable…
    Maybe there’s some magic in playing this game in vr,
    but as a game itself, there’s nothing worth checking out here
    I give Dead Secret
    a 5/10    … Full Review »
