‘OVRDARK: A Do Not Open Story’ Launches March 27 on the PlayStation VR2 [Trailer]
A year after it was first announced, NoxNoctis’ OVRDARK: A Do Not Open Story will arrive on March 27th for the PlayStation VR2 via the PlayStation Store. Ahead of the game’s release tomorrow, the devs have unveiled a new trailer that “[offers] a compelling glimpse into the horrific experience that awaits players.” A Steam release is also being planned.
From the minds behind DO NOT OPEN, OVRDARK puts you in the shoes of George Foster, a fearless investigator and companion of DO NOT OPEN‘s Mike Goreng, who ventures into Goreng’s mansion after the events of the first game. However, what he encounters is far more sinister than anticipated. As you delve into the dark depths of the mansion, you’ll encounter the presence of Mike Goreng, who has now become your ruthless enemy.
In certain areas, you’ll need to rely on stealth mechanics to avoid Goreng’s detection, where both in-game actions and real-life movements are significant. These mechanics consist of two distinct challenges: one involves traversing an area slowly without making sudden gestures, and the other requires you to hold still for a few seconds without moving your hands or head.
OVRDARK also features spatial sound, connecting you intimately to every sound. Your PSVR2 controller will vibrate during heightened critical moments, low life supplies, and specific sequences. You’ll also be navigating puzzles with the PSVR2’s haptic feedback, signaling both success and missteps. OVRDARK prioritizes a seamless adventure by minimizing loading screens, allowing players to delve into the core storyline diminishing disruptions, exploring the vast mansion without interruption.

Behaviour Interactive Reveals New Chapters, Content & More During ‘Dead by Daylight’ Anniversary Stream [Trailer]
What the Fog wasn’t the only new announcement during the 8th anniversary livestream for Dead by Daylight . Behaviour Interactive is pulling out another out of nowhere crossover this time with Dungeons & Dragons. On top of that, fans will be treated to a Castlevania Chapter later in the year, as well as the long-awaited 2v8 Mode.
Coming June 3rd, Dead by Daylight: Dungeons & Dragons will introduce iconic D&D villain Vecna, known in Dead by Daylight as The Lich, as the new Killer. Meanwhile, a Bard, Aestri Yazar is the new Survivor. The new Chapter will also include a new map, Forgotten Ruins, taking players to a mysterious dungeon full of easter eggs for longtime D&D fans. Staples such as getting loot, magical items, and rolling dice will also be woven into the gameplay.
Players can try out the new Killer, Survivors, and gameplay features in the Public Test-Build, available now.
Meanwhile, the 2v8 Game Mode was announced for Dead by Daylight, offering a brand-new gameplay experience. The widely-requested mode will see 2 Killers face off against 8 Survivors on a much larger map. To ramp up the action, several gameplay adjustments have been made including the replacement of Perks for what essentially amounts to a class system and the addition of Cages instead of Hooks. More information on the 2v8 Game Mode will be revealed in a future livestream this July.
The good news didn’t end there, as fans were also treated to the enigmatic Project T, an in-development PvE action-horror shooter. Players will be able to join the Insider Program to receive exclusive news, and the chance to participate in playtests and share their ideas and feedback on the game.
Regarding The Casting of Frank Stone, which Behaviour has been teasing with small lore clips over the past week, a new gameplay trailer was revealed, hinting at the game’s branching narrative as the creation of an independent movie “unlocks horrors beyond comprehension.”
Lastly, Castlevania will be joining Dead by Daylight later this year as a new Chapter. Details will be revealed later this year, but fans did get a glimpse of what to expect with a teaser trailer.
