Come OVer Gaming – Augmented & Virtual Reality Confabulation

At the beginning of the month Come Over Gaming revealed its virtual reality (VR) psychological horror DreamBack VR for PC VR headsets. Now the studio has announced the launch will take place in a couple of weeks.

DreamBack VR is designed to be a spine-chilling experience of psychological terror so there are no guns or action-style sequences. You’re stuck in a very creepy looking Victorian mansion with one goal, trying to find a way out with your trusty flashlight.

As an electrical engineer your firm was called to fix a broken electrical line at the Rickfford Mansion and you’re the lucky person assigned to repair it. The estate is old and abandoned (supposedly) but you soon find yourself in a nightmarish world. The story is told after the fact, where your character has lost their memories of that fateful night, suffering nightmares and hallucinations in the aftermath. Trying to make sense of it all you revive those memories through hypnosis, reliving them all over again.

With no combat to worry about all you need to do is brave the dark corridors of Rickfford Mansion, look for clues and solve puzzles.

Come Over Gaming wants to make DreamBack VR as scary as possible, employing dynamic lighting and harrowing audio and spatial sound effects.

Come Over Gaming will release DreamBack VR via Steam for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index and Windows Mixed Reality headsets on 10th June 2020. It’ll retail for $24.99 USD/€24.99 EUR with a launch discount of 10%.

There’s nothing like a good virtual reality (VR) horror title to get the heart pumping, yet there haven’t been many new videogames in this genre; the last being Lies Beneath. So it’s welcoming to see Come Over Gaming announce psychological horror DreamBack VR which is expected to arrive fairly soon.

DreamBack VR goes for the classic scary mansion tale where you play an engineer called out to fix a downed electrical line in an old abandoned Victorian estate called Rickfford Mansion. Suffering a frightening night on the estate, you survive but are left with haunting yet fuzzy memories which torment your dreams.

The videogame is set in these memories, as a psychiatrist try’s to help you face these terrors through hypnosis, unlocking what happened in the house that fateful night.

As a psychological horror DreamBack VR isn’t likely to feature jump scares as this style of scary videogame delights in the stuff you can’t always see, playing with lights, shadows and sound. Thus creating a tense atmosphere which was players continually on edge.

Gameplay revolves around solving elaborate puzzles, exploring the abandoned building for clues to unravelling its secrets whilst looking for a way out. There aren’t any combat or action sequences to break the nerve-wracking mood.

As the launch of DreamBack VR is slated for Q2 this year via Steam, horror fans shouldn’t have too long to wait. It’ll support Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index and Windows Mixed Reality headset when it does. As further details are released, VRFocus will keep you updated.
