Narcosis is a survival horror game that provides so much more than a few gimmicky jump-scares. This is a beautifully written, immersive psychological thriller which tells a compelling, tragic story, demands observation, planning and problem solving, and yes, also throws a few shriek-worthy jump-scares into the mix. It leaves you questioning reality and explores just what a person and the human mind can handle when pushed to the limit. Solid voice acting and narration makes this an incredibly personal story, and while it's not entirely free of motion sickness, being aware of where your head and body are can help you avoid the worst of it. Odds are, you'll be so full of adrenaline that you probably won't fully register the motion sickness until you take off the headgear. Narcosis is a shining example of a virtual reality psychological thriller done right, and a is must play for any horror junkie.
"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.
