- Honor Code, Inc.
As if spending time deep in the ocean, stuck in a claustrophobic high-tech dive suit dubbed as a “walking coffin” wouldn’t be harrowing enough, imagine if an earthquake was to occur whilst you were doing so. It would be pretty scary wouldn’t it?
"Narcosis" is a single-player horror shooter game set in the sunless depths of the Pacific Ocean, where an industrial diver battles to surface with low oxygen and sanity. The game features stunning graphics, good music, and a dense atmosphere, with gameplay elements like pressure-induced hallucinations and hostile marine life. The phantom narrative and haunting soundtrack add to the eerie experience of this reality-based survival story.

Narcosis is a great horror title for fans of the genre if they can endure the slow pace.

While the game didn't impress me all that much on the Xbox as is, I can see how the game would perform better in VR. I did enjoy many aspects of Narcosis such as its environment and its unique controls. However, the lack of real tension and linear level design hold the game back too much to not notice.
