What an amazing game and and Intense experience and good story too, 1 very frustrating Level but that was about it

It isnt on the level of puppet combo or Chilla Art's however, the story and progression was decent and in all honesty, it was pretty solid. 7.5/10

To begin, a technical NOTE for VR: Make sure you are seating on a chair in front of your computer monitor before launching the game from Steam. You can find yourself above the character player's body if you don't do so. Took me a while to figure it out, I nearly ended up asking for a refund. The game itself as I envisioned it to be, was not exactly how I envisioned it. It is a very inspirational VR horror game for me, however it could have been more freaky. I definitely have to recommend it as it is worth the experience and given the energy expenditure on behalf of the developers, it would be disrespectful to them to do otherwise like some people did, however everyone is entitled to their opinion and some negative reviews are actually justified. In my opinion this VR horror game is definitely not worthy of not recommending. I normally experience these VR horrors under the unusual circumstances of psychedelia, it became some sort of sadomasochistic hobby to some extent. So trust me, if it was scary, it probably was. As for this horror experience, for sure it was from the horror category. Some VR horror games like "Don't Knock Twice", at first when I tried the demo which was pretty scary, the actual game was more like a psychological horror where the player can start to feel compassion for the character in the game and what was meant to be the dreaded horror of the unknown ahead, became some kind of something different. As for Araya, yeah it is horror. However, having the experience of VR horror like Madison VR and Exorcist: Legion VR, they are superior in my opinion. Rise of Insanity in VR, also ranks with them in my opinion. Araya, when I played it first time, after solving the VR headset technical issue, it was kinda scary. It took me like 4 different times to complete the whole game. The second time I played it was pretty scary, I don't know why it was more scary than the first time I played the first few chapters. The third time was less scary than the second, but I would often get chills down my spine even by walking around and exploring the hospital. Sound was pretty good for it's time, good weird dark kinda stuff. I haven't really experienced any major bugs as some people claim it is full of bugs, nothing broke the game. The VR thing is probably the only thing they could correct or at least have a height correction option in the menu or something. However, overall it is a pretty well made game for a non-commercial developer. In fact, I dislike commercial games in general. I played Half-Life: Alyx and it is a very well made game worth experiencing, however too commercial feel for me, I prefer indie developer immagination. Even Resident Evil 7 which is probably the scariest of them all, unfortunately I played the whole game on the monitor before learning that their exists a VR mod for it, then tried the VR mod and it is pretty scary, but never finished it in VR, not sure why, I need to play it again in VR as it was already quiet some time since I played it first time, so will be more fresh experience. With Resident Evil Village, that I played from start in VR as I knew already about the mod, but it is not that scary as compared to RE7, most of the action is in the day which shows the beauty of the 3D artist's artwork, however not good for VR horror, if their was a night mode MOD, then that would make REVIII much scarier in my opinion. Still both RE games are commercial, but Resident Evil is naturally messed up, so I feel less of that commercial feeling than as compared to Half-Life: Alyx. Forgive me for going off track, just wanted to share some other interesting VR and VR horror game worth playing. Link to Resident Evil VR mods: 「https://github.com/praydog/REFramework/releases」 You will need to download the RE7.zip or RE8.zip for the respective Resident Evil games. Both mods work well, maybe native VR would have been better, but it worked well enough as far I remember. For VR horror, I would say Resident Evil 7 is a must. Araya for VR horror maniacs, for sure worth the experience, like I said, I would often get chills down my spine just by walking around the hospital, so buckle your seat belts Dorothy and do it properly. Araya is a game I wanted to experience in VR for quiet some time, but I waited for a discount that never arrived. But after experiencing Madison VR which was kinda traumatic experience at times, I had to experience this one. Another VR horror game I heard about is actually a normal desktop horror for which you will need to use an external VR application like 「https://github.com/praydog/UEVR」 . That game is called Visage. From my experience, I can tell and from people's reviews, I am not looking forward to experiencing that one, there is something about little girls with long black hair that is just disturbing. Big ugly scary looking dudes don't scare me, just annoy me, little Japanese girls with long black hair, 頑張ります！ BTW The voice acting (English) in Araya was very good in my opinion with a nice British accent to it.
