Horror in a relatively open world may sound like a challenge to pull off, but if the video is any indication, Endnight Games Limited has it figured out.<\/p> The game is out later this year on PC and it’ll support Oculus Rift, though I can only imagine how tense that’d be. Forget virtual reality — obscuring your vision and hearing from what’s going on in the real world would be unsettling in and of itself.<\/p>
As a fan of The Descent<\/em>, I can’t not love the promise of
