Terrifying and beautiful. From the moment I saw previews of this game I was in love with the art direction and style of the game. After playing through it almost twice I can say I still love the style, atmosphere, music, sound design, gameplay, voice acting and story. One of my favourite games of this year.
Very good atmospheric horror game. I had a lot of fun playing the game. You don't really do much, it's basically an exploration game mixed with a few light puzzles and stealth but it's all very well done, the atmosphere is great, movement is very good too, controls, etc. It feels like a proper game which is longer than it seems when you think about what you did in those 6-8 hours it takes to finish. I could have done without the last minute of the game but I very much enjoyed the whole experience. I'd definitely buy another game like this from these devs, this was a very good horror game for people into exploration and puzzles.
Beautiful and creepy. Wow, what an amazing game. I just played for more than 3 hours straight without taking a break, could't stop exploring the mansion. Wonderful light and textures. The interior of the mansion is beautiful and your arms and hands are among the most impressive I've seen in a VR game. Somebody mentioned Wilson's Heart, yes, I don't know why but I thought of that game too while playing. And there's also something reminding me of The Shining. Great music and sound fx too. Overall a top quality exploration/horror/mystery game that should be on every VR gamers wishlist.
Across the Shroud...After a 26 year wait. In 1995 17 year old me and my 11 yr old cousin found an awesome alternative to D&D, Wraith the Oblivion and two of its amazing expansion books (Wraith only needed 10 dice with 10 sides). This Game is a PERFECT Translation of what we played in 1994-95
Step 1. You DIE.....and wake up on the other side (Of the "Shroud")
Step 2. You meet your darker side (Your "Shadow) because after death, your ID and EGO split in two....
Step 3. You find out you now have powers in your new form (Called "Arcanoi" by us original Wraith/Restless) Thank you again developers. I hope there are MANY Arcanoi in this game (Im only at the first save currently)
Step 4. You try to find out how you and your associates died, and figure out the rest as you go....
PERFECT and Cannon to the original Wraith - The Oblivion game.
Ill update my review once ive played through both Rift and Oculus Versions (Thank you Cross-Buy!)
My question for the developer, did you play the original tabletop game for sourcing material?

First impressions after 2 hours(PCVR). I played the game a little longer and I must say, I was way too quick to write a review. The game is just picking up the pace and it seems to be good. The only thing, that I find a bit annoying is how your fov gets cut down when you move faster. I understant, that this is probably to let you know how fast you are moving. But the fov on the q2 is small as is. No need to reduce it further. Otherwise a great looking game, with an unbelievably compex audio. Must have if you like horror games, like outlast.
Wraith was a pleasant surprise. 4 hour live stream here: https://youtu.be/ntu6dcM9kp8
I am a horror junkie. VR horror is probably the greatest thing that has ever happened for me,. well besides the birth of my kids,.. nope scratch that VR horror wins! LOL! I went into Wraith both excited and also nervous that it wouldn't be a good experience. I am happy to say that it is a good horror title. You aren't going to be in constant panic mode like you are in something like Outlast or Alien Isolation, but it is a title that def had me scared quite a few times.
Graphically the game is great. Environment is very convincing, character models for the ghost that hunt you are terrifying and things are optimized great. Sound design is also great with 3D directional audio and tones of terrifying sounds that come at you from every direction. Game play is mostly hunt for items to solve objectives while evading the nasties that want to kill you. Works great and def had some butt clenching moments. You also have a clever mechanic of holding your arm out in front of you to use your enhanced senses to find where you need to go next. This game def had me scared a few times, I think it's a tad slow in the pacing. It's def a good first horror title for people new to VR horror. I won't destroy them like something like Alien Isolation with the motherVR mod or RE7. So yes this is def a title that is worth picking up! I'll def be finishing it!
First impression after 30 minnutes(PCVR). My first impressions of the game feel a bit underwhelming, but I cannot say what the game as a whole is. From the trailer, it really reminded me of Half Life: Alyx. I obviously knew, this game would never be as good. I really expected less objects to be stationary. In HLA you could move pretty much everything, not in this game. Most of the object just cannot be moved. I wanted to tip the cart over, I wanted to throw the bar chairs across the room. I understand that it is though to be compared to the greatest VR game there is, but I still felt a little missled by the trailer. Also many areas of the game are just way too dark. I know a horror game is supposed to be dark, but not to the point where you can see absolutely nothing. I sometimes had no idea where I´m going. I could be going into a wall for all I knew. Also what´s up with the boxes ? They light up red, screaming move me or pick me up. But I haven´t found a way to do so. So far a little dissaponted, but I know I can´t judge a game by a 30 minute play time. So I really hope the game gets better from this point. One more thing I forgot to add. I do not know if I am the only one who experienced this, but there seem to be some problems with virtual desktop and the game menu. The cursor doesn´t really point where it shows and the button you use to open the menu always exits out of vr for me. So a way to remap it would be nice.
A True Stroke Of Genius. I have been hyped for this project for quite a while now. And i was genuinly impressed after playing this game. I am personally a big horror fan, and love to see things like this appear. This game features a truly interesting and unique story together with great visuals and one of the best sound design i've heard in a while. Afterlife grabs you by the scuff of the neck, and drags you down a dark and bizare story. The idea of "Not knowing what happens next" is truly thrilling in this game, since its all done in a very unique way. Afterlife doesn't focus on big jumpscares. Instead, afterlife scares you with tiniest and most slightly unnatural happenings. Which makes the whole scene even more unsetteling. I played this game on a Rift S together with a pair of Vmoda headphones. I truly recomend wearing headphones while playing this game, since Afterlife features great, clean and good ambiences to drag you further into its world. This was one of the major things that i apreciated about Afterlife. All these things together make a true horror masterpiece.
The only thing that i missed while playing this game was Collision Constraint. Yes. This game has physics. But your hands will pass through all objects. This has always been one of my complaints when talking about most Vr games. I quickly feel a big disconnect to the Virtual World when i see my hand pass through an object or a wall. Allthough in this game i didn't mind it all that much. But it would have been a good extra detail.
Legit Scary from a horror fan. I’ve played a lot of horror VR games and nothing has scared me until Phasmophobia and now this game. When I started I was just enjoying the atmosphere, not really feeling any fear. But that atmosphere builds and builds. There aren’t many jump scares, but it’s gotten to the point where the feeling of overwhelming dread has really taken hold. I think that’s the best praise I can give this game. I’m afraid to go back.
Reminds me of wilsons heart. The game focuses on narative and horror without jump scares, great atmosphere, and if you liked wilsons heart you should enjoy this.
A long awaited let down. I’ve been waiting so long for the release of this game, excited to be scared in a ghostly world. This game makes you feel like you’re just walking around in a bland environment. I get that the “environment” is what makes it scary, but this game lacks in the type of true horror, and excitement other games such as “Cosmodread”, and “resident evil” bring to the VR sector.

Across the Shroud...26年ぶりの登場です。 1995年、17歳の私と11歳のいとこは、D&Dに代わる素晴らしいゲーム、『レイス・ザ・オブリビオン』とその素晴らしい拡張本2冊を見つけました(レイスは10面体のサイコロを10個だけ必要としました)。このゲームは、1994年から95年にかけて私たちがプレイしたものを完璧に翻訳したものです。
このゲームは、オリジナルのWraith - The Oblivionゲームに完璧と大砲を提供します。
そのためにはまず、自分が何をしたいのかを明確にする必要があります。

良い作品だが、着地点には至らない。 Wraith the Oblivion』は幽霊話で語られる殺人事件のミステリーであり、不気味で怖いと感じる人もいるが、それ以上のものにしようとしている。私は、このゲームがサイコロジカルホラー的な要素を抑えて、より伝統的なゴーストストーリーを目指していることを評価しています。このゲームでは、飛び道具的な怖さを抑えて、魅力的なストーリーと不気味な雰囲気を作り出すことに重点を置いています。そのため、必ずしも成功するとは限りませんが、プレイしやすく、ヘッドセットでの見栄えも良いので、注目する価値はあると思います。
Good but doesn't quite stick the landing. Wraith the Oblivion is a murder mystery told in ghost story, that while creepy and scary to some attempts to be more than that. I appreciated that the game plays less on the psychological horror side of things and instead aims to tell a more traditional ghost story, that relies less on jump scares and more on creating an engaging story and a creepy atmosphere. It doesn’t always stick the landing with that, but plays well and looks great in the headset, making it still worth your attention
