You also select options in the menus by ‘looking’ at them – a similar approach to how Dead Secret works, only that game is in VR so it made more sense. If it’s a little to either side then chances are it won’t come on. In order to turn on a light switch, for example, you must have it right in the centre of the screen as you press the action button. It’s your standard controls, as you would expect, with the control sticks to move and look and the face buttons to perform various actions, but it feels ‘off’. My first major issue with the game is its controls. It’s a very jumpy and frightening game, but not without its flaws I’m afraid. Whereas in the first game you were collecting notes, in this game you are tasked with finding keycards so you can access new areas and escape. Now, this is the main part of the game as you are being stalked by familiar and new foes, all of which have their own process you must follow in order to avoid and escape from their clutches.
Upon entering the building, you are locked inside and you take it upon yourself to begin exploring for a way out. Upon finding your keys and proceeding through the front door, you find out that this whole section was actually a dream and none of it actually happened! Thanks, developers! You get dressed and head to work (for real this time) as you make a delivery at the “Central Evidence” facility. It got a bit frustrating, but we carried on, and it’s a good job we did… If you even get grabbed by something, you are sent back to 3 am where you must have a shower and look for your keys once more. It all seemed very random and hard to predict what was going to happen, sometimes I would turn a corner and get grabbed by something, other times I would be jumped for turning on the lights. I won’t tell you how many times this took to pass, but it was about 5 times too many if I’m being honest. At this point, the demonic dolls have now come to life and are actively turning off lights and stalking you as you look around for your keys. As you make your way there, you will encounter old favourites from the original game who, at first, are lifeless and just sat there on the floor and chairs.Īs you get to the front door, you realise you don’t have your keys and must go in search of them. Your first task is to find your bedroom – a simple enough task which is made a little more difficult due to the dark hallways, items all over the floor, lights which don’t seem to fully illuminate the rooms, and the fact I’m in control and have no idea where his bedroom is! Upon crashing for the night, you awake at 3 am in order to get ready for work – you take a shower, as you ignore the jack-in-a-box that’s playing away as you wash, and then proceed to the front door.
