Stocksynd House Reviews

Stocksynd House is yet another game that tries to psychologically disturb you in virtual reality. It claims to be an escape room type of a game but be warned that this game is more of a point and click adventure (features very specific hints though unlike those adventure games). Unfortunately, in VR it means a lot of walking, opening cabinets, throwing stuff around, picking stuff (from the ground) etc. which I do not consider particularly fun or entertaining activity - rather the opposite. The game uses only one possible mode of locomotion which is free locomotion and non-configurable snap turn. Graphically, the game looks very well. The lighting is not realistic and broke the little immersion I had. Nonetheless the ambience is really nice (it's very creepy). I loved the little music there was in the game. I enjoyed various sound effects, many were rather comical. The game has some really nice physics. It is sad that this was not used more in the game as that would be one of the game's strong points. However I was very glad I could stack items on something and move all of them this way across the room to save me some walking. I would recommend this game to those looking for a nice creepy atmosphere and like to walk around and enjoy the environment. Otherwise this game does not have much to offer in terms of game play or story.

Very nice game & well done. Good graphics, atmosphere & sound. Not particularly scary & has some tricky puzzles. Played on PSVR2 with adapter. Would have liked an option for smooth turning & to be able to manually save but overall highly recommended.
