This is probably one of the worst ****VR**** games I've ever played(not saying it is bad for non vr users). Doesn't even have full control support so you just have to use an Xbox controller which in my opinion defeats the purpose as you may as well just sit down at a monitor. Def not worth $20 I'd say this is a good tech demo for vr(again not saying it is a bad game alltogether but as for vr it is not fun) if you are looking for horror vr... maybe not this one.. I bought Vr just so I can experience Horror games immersivly, this game grabed my attention due to it attempting to be different and it actualy works. I played the game on Vive with controler and other than a few annoyances like when I lean too far the screen goes black though I quickly got used to how far I can lean to not affect my gameplay!I will update this post as I get further into the game but with the first 2hrs, the game imo is worth the buyPros: So farVr is implementedUsing sound to travel around is a great ideaPuzzels are a balanced challengeCons: so farLack of Vr control support for vive No room scaleIf you would like to see the game in action here check this outhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NHN6NekcWzs. Absolutely terrifying. Stifled provides excellent atmosphere and excels at environmental storytelling, which reveals a heartbreaking tragedy. Buy this game.See my playthrough here: https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/videos\/283851221. awsome game concept. dont write off as vr when its not ready. 10 ft tall, outside level, and thats giving it 20 mins too work through kinks. game needs work, atm thumbs down i couldnt have fun, and trust me i tied. wanted this game too work. Seen the game on several exhibitions, a unique labor of love you definitely have to try. Not too sure how i like it just yet. Im maybe 30 mins into the game. The story seems a bit odd, and all over the place. The games concept is good, but i dont like it too much as of now. Ill update this review when im later into the game.. This game has been extremely well since I started it. It is unique in its audio based mechanisms, and it also makes it an interesting game for a let's play because of the microphone being a fundamental part of the games originality.. I haven't heard this many children scream at once since Christmas time. Also an immediate selling point of the game is the ability to scream into your microphone and actually progress further into the game (or hinder you depending on the situation.)11\/10. Stifled was a mixed bag for me. I'd been looking forward to it's release a year after it came out on PSVR but had really been hoping they would adopt full motion controls for the PCVR version. They didn't, which while not a negative on the game, feels like a missed opportunity. To be able to knock on walls or throw objects certain distances would have opened up intricacies that are currently missing.That said, the overall game is still excellent. It's a really unique concept that is well executed. I liked how they explored the story and each level was a different representation of fear and darkness. Gameplay here. Pros: Layout of story, purely for you to figure outVector art designUse of sound and microphonesAtmosphereCons:Motion controls :(The 'real world' graphical quality isn't great and can be slightly jarring after coming from the cool vector artPrice to length. A little high for a relatively short game. But not overly so.Overall the game is recommended. A great new exploration of VR that will get the hairs on the back of your neck tingling!. Have to say, didn't expect this kind of story. For thous, who didn't play it, or want to play it blind, there will be some major spoilers in my review.So, if I got it right, it is basically David reliving his memories, thanks to a machine, made by Eden. All thous glitchies and wierd stuff happening, is because the machine is not working properly. It also explains thous monsters. Or they could be his own fears and guilt of him loosing a baby, I don't really know. So David and Rose (his wife) are expecting a baby, but the baby dies and David suggest that they shoud adopt someone. Rose is not ok with that saying that noone can replace their baby, but after some time she goes with him, but they have a car crash. She is also using antidepresives and eating a lot of them. They start to fight with eachother to the point she can't handle it anymore and commit suicide. That is bassically their story. And because David feels guilty over her death, he buyes that machine which you can see in the end if you choose to not manually reboot it. Otherwise the game strats over again. He disconnects himself, going through his house full of servers, which I don't know why they are there, but ok. You can then choose, if you go back to the machine, or if you walk out the door while David is saying that he will join his wife soon.So, now to the review. The game is amazing and original. I can't say that I didn't get bored or annoyed at some points, like that \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing water monster, but it is part of it. If you expect some action and runnig from monsters, than you are wrong. The game is based around stealth and distraction, while you are sneaking by the wall, praying that it won!t hear you. The game is not that scary, but it has it's moments and I have to say, while I was walking throught the sewers I was terrified from that baby monster. Music and sounds are really well made and are fitting it well. Also having more options throughtout the game would be nice. Graphics are of course simple, because you are litterally walking through dark places, but there are some lightend places, where the game tells the story and it is ok. Monsters are really scary, maybe except the water monster. Puzzles are simple, story is interesting and the atmosphere of the game is amazing. The option of using your own voice to do thous pulses was great idea and being able to play it in VR was just marvelous. It is not long and I was able to complete it in one sitting (2 hours). My personal score of this game is 8\/10. :)
