The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR - Horror for PS VR2

VR fans have a new horror game to look forward to: Switchback VR, a spin-off of the successful Dark Pictures franchise from Supermassive Games, will be released on PS VR2 later this month. The game features a unique gameplay mechanic that uses the PS VR2's eye-tracking technology to draw in enemies when the player blinks.

The game starts with a train crash, where the player falls to the ground and is then thrust into a creepy vision by a demon. Most of the game takes place on a rusted rollercoaster flanked by Dark Pictures monsters and wax-like mannequins that move when the player blinks.

To enhance the immersion of the game, Switchback VR will use haptic feedback in the handheld controllers and headset on PS VR2 to give the player the feeling of being truly present.

Switchback VR is now available for pre-order and will be released on March 16th. Horror game fans shouldn't miss this one!
