Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife

It’s a pretty meaty experience for VR, offering a six to seven hour adventure full of plot twists, horrifying revelations, and a hearty helping of collectibles to hunt down. The atmosphere of the game is so convincing, so creepy, that every step through the halls feels like tempting fate. Between the sparse sound design — often consisting of little other than footsteps- - and the phenomenal soundtrack, the audio plays as much a part in putting you ill at ease as the environment. And what’s even more shocking is the effective use of jump scares. Jump scares are, frankly, rarely scary, and tend to just be a nuisance or disruption in the mood of a horror experience. But not so here. There aren’t too many jump scares — an important distinction — but the ones that are utilized are chosen well, making for effective, earned moments. What you’re left with is one of the better PSVR horror experiences, and one absolutely worth your time. Just be careful, as this one’s not for the faint of heart.
