The VR Game Launch Roundup: A Horrifyingly Tasty Selection

VR Game Roundup Blair Witch

October hasn’t disappointed when it comes to virtual reality (VR) titles for most of the major headsets and with one week left to go there are more to look forward to. Naturally, with Halloween coming up, there are a couple of spooky titles as well as non-seasonal entries.

Flavortown

Flavortown – Last Hope of the Internet

The first of a six-episode series arrives next week in the form of comedic title Flavortown, where you become a meatball cop in a world entirely populated by living food. Your job is to infiltrate Flavortown’s underworld and clean up the streets, as well as enjoying all the other tasty treats the town has to offer.

AGOS: A Game of Space – Ubisoft

Ubisoft has made a few VR titles and continues to support the technology with interstellar simulator AGOS: A Game of Space. Mankind has abandoned Earth heading out among the stars to find a new home. Split between thousands of ships, you play the AI onboard one, tasked with keeping your cargo safe and well.

Groove Gunner – BitCutter Studios

VR fans love a good rhythm-action videogame and Groove Gunner will be the latest to join this energetic genre. With a demo already available, the gameplay is split between shooting targets as well as blocking incoming projectiles with arm-mounted light shields.

Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition – Bloober Team

Time for the big horror title of the week. Bloober Team is bringing its Blair Witch videogame to VR, with Oculus Quest being the first platform. Redesigned around VR interaction, you have your lovable companion Bullet by your side as you venture into the cheery forest…and, well you know the rest.

  • Supported platforms: Oculus Quest
  • Launch date: 29th October

Horror Bar VR – VR Factory

Time for some light-hearted Halloween fun, from the team which brought you Bartender VR Simulator, comes Horror Bar VR. Released as an Early Access title, you’re the bartender in a zombie bar serving all-sorts of ghoulish drinks for the undead patrons, even rustling up the odd snack or two.

Cook Brains And Serve Fried Fingers In VR Cooking Sim Horror Bar

We’ve flipped countless burgers and diced hundreds of onions in VR already, but Horror Bar’s menu is a little different.

Set to release this Halloween in Early Access, Horror Bar is mechanically similar to Cook-Out or pretty much any other Overcooked-inspired VR game. You need to frantically juggle orders, preparing ingredients to the clock to satisfy customers. But, as the name suggests, Horror Bar has a pretty grim twist, making you serve brain burgers, fried fingers and more to satisfy a horde of hungry zombies.

Take a look at the trailer above – we’re pretty in love with this idea. On top of grossly greasy brains, you’ll also mix drinks with blood and even reach your hand into a putrid tank to fetch exotic fish that then need to be killed before being cooked up. It’s a brilliantly gruesome scenario that we’re hoping plays to VR’s more uncomfortable side.

The game’s developed by VR Factory, which previously released Bartender VR Simulator. You could say the team was drawing on its expertise here, then.

Horror Bar is coming to Steam on October 30th for $19.90. The Early Access version will include most of the key features along with a story mode that the team says lasts four to five hours. Going forward, though, there are plans to add more levels in hopes of releasing the title in full in the next four to six months. No word yet on possible PSVR and Oculus Quest versions, but we’ll keep you posted.
