Local VR vs PC horror game: 1 VR player controls a lone robot trying to escape an underground lab; up to 2 PC players control giant alien monkeys. Customize your experience with gameplay modifiers, ranging from tense survival stealth to brutal nonstop action!
As one player dons a VR headset to control a lone robot escaping an underground facility, up to two PC players take on the role of giant alien Mandrillians hunting the VR player. This cat-and-mouse dynamic creates a tense, horror-tinged experience where players must leverage stealth, weapons, and wits to either evade or overwhelm their opponents.
VR players navigate the dark, ominous underground, using a Multitool to cloak, detect enemies, and stun them if necessary. With over 20 unique armaments at their disposal - including firearms, flamethrowers, crossbows, and chainsaws - the VR player must strategically engage or avoid the relentless Mandrillians. Progress requires locating keycards and solving minigames to unlock new areas and ultimately escape the facility.
Controlling the Mandrillians in a third-person perspective, PC players leverage enhanced "monkey senses" to track down and hunt the VR player. Their agility allows them to quickly traverse the map using air vents, while their raw power and predatory instincts enable them to psychologically torment and overwhelm the VR player.
A standout feature is the extensive customization options. Players can adjust a vast array of parameters, from health values and respawn mechanics to loot progression and enemy weakpoint calculations. This allows for a highly tailored experience, ranging from tense survival horror to brutal, nonstop action. Pre-curated Match Presets, such as "Mandrillian Bias" or "Robot Bias" modes, provide a starting point for different playstyles.
While the core experience is asymmetric local multiplayer, the game supports remote play via Steam. This enables friends to join the game regardless of their hardware setup, fostering a cooperative horror experience even for those without access to VR.
With 98% positive reviews out of 111 user ratings, players heap praise on the game's high level of polish, depth of mechanics, and immersive VR implementation. The diverse arsenal of weapons and tools available to the VR player, as well as the flexibility afforded by the customization options, are frequently highlighted as standout features.
