[Trailer] VR Horror Title ‘Deadness’ Confines You to a Wheelchair to Escape Zombies

Published

on

More VR horror is headed your way this month with ALIEN Studio’s Deadness, which takes a cue from VR Bros’ A Wake Inn in its wheelchair-bound protagonist. Only this time, instead of living dolls, you’ll be wheeling away from the living dead in an abandoned research facility.

Per DreadXP, the game will arrive February 22nd for Steam VR, Viveport, and the Valve Index. There’s not much to the story of Deadness: You find yourself confined to a wheelchair in the aforementioned old research facility, with no memory of how you got into the facility, or even where the facility is located. Oh, and you just so happen to have zombies wandering around looking for a snack.

Seeing as you’re confined to your wheelchair in Deadness, you’ll have to make use of your hands to push your wheelchair around. It only serves to ramp up the game’s realism. ALIEN Studio says that it’s taken great pains to get this realism right with the intuitive controls, naturalistic graphics, and the “utterly helpless” feeling. That also includes being unable to fight the zombies roaming around the facility.

Have fun!

‘Darkest Dungeon II’ Arrives July 15 on PlayStation Consoles [Trailer]

A year after its initial release on PC, Red Hook Studios will finally be bringing Darkest Dungeon II to the PlayStation. The base game, as well as the “The Binding Blade” DLC and the Oblivion bundle which contains the base game and DLC – will be available as cross-buy across PlayStation 4 and 5 on July 15th. Pre-orders are now available.

“We have been very eager to bring Darkest Dungeon II to PlayStation players,” said Tyler Sigman, Design Director for Red Hook Studios. “The game feels great with DualSense Controller–we’ve been able to add touches like feeling the heartbeat of a hero on death’s door, or the rumble of the stagecoach’s wheels as it hits a trap. [The original] Darkest Dungeon was fortunate to find a strong community on PlayStation and we hope the same proves true with the sequel.”

As mentioned, in addition to the base game (which we reviewed here), “The Blinding Blade” DLC will also be available on PlayStation. The expansion sees players face off against The Warlord, a new roaming mini-boss to encounter on your journey to the Mountain in Darkest Dungeon II. The DLC also adds two new playable heroes in The Duelist and The Crusader, complete with a special unlock quest for the Crusader, unique trinkets, signature items and fully voiced backstories, including playable flashback encounters.

Darkest Dungeon II is available now on the Epic Games Store and Steam.
