Fun game to play on Quest 3. Food story. Few things to note to play on quest 3. 1) on a newer pc, if the game does not start, you will need to implement the environmental variables solution. There are several references to it on the internet. That solution also fixed the issue I had with the Brookhaven experiment game. Also, you need to sit down with the vr headset on at your computer and move, shoot flares or wave the knife by your keyboard and mouse, unless you have a game pad, I didn’t. When the game initially starts after you click on it on steam vr, press ‘R’ on the keyboard to start. The quest controllers will no longer work once you launch the game.

Wow. I didn't expect this plot twist at the end and I already knew there would be one. So that's a plus. What I didn't find so good were the knife fights. You have to defend yourself with your knife against the deep sea fauna and with every knife attack there's a time delay because you're underwater and wearing a diving suit. It's realistic, but you have to time your attacks perfectly or you'll get hit. And I was almost always hit. Several times. I found that annoying. Fortunately, you can often avoid such fights. Otherwise, it's a game with strengths and weaknesses. Basically, it's a deep sea walking simulator with survival and horror elements. It has a great atmosphere which takes on a whole new dimension with a VR headset. Technically, it worked well for me and I thought the horror was well done. However, it only has a short playtime of maybe 5 hours and the graphics are rather VR standard. I have a VR headset, but I played it without it. I can recommend it at a discounted price.

Most claustrophobic game ive played. Towards the end of it, you forget that the footsteps you hear all the time are actually yours, but youre too scared to look behind you. great little game! Sounddesign and story development work hand in hand right up until the actual ending. the ending alone is worth the horrendous jumping puzzle type part that came in the 3rd 4th of the game. shambolic! but i can reccomend it!!

Narcosis is a fairly competent horror with a fantastic story. I genuinely found myself enjoying the experience for the most part and was sincerely pleased with how the story unfolded and how it was wrapped up. The game is one of those rare indie titles that is quite competent not only in the gamplay department, but the story too, and comes together quite nicely. The walking simulator exploration-esque game does suffer from some of the tropes of indie horror games, however. That is to say the repeating hallway, the jumpscare ineffective due to the atmosphere, reusing assets leading to lack of definition / boundaries, the lack of direction leading to being lost at times... I mean guys, it's NOT FUN to feel lost in an area for 30 minutes, dying over and over. It detracts from the story, the danger and the atmosphere, and frustrates the player. Add tank-like, sporadic combat to the list, too: The elements of the game all begin to feel a little mismashed and lead to some confusion. The game is however overall well-polished with distinctive, interesting environments and competent voice acting. Overall I think you should forgive the negatives (also feeling free to use a guide) and enjoy the atmosphere and story of Narcosis. It's certainly one of the better indie choices that I have played recently.
