Pretty scary game if I do say so myself! It's a little rough around the edges, but a bit more polish and it'll be the perfect game for a bit of horror combat.

So far this game has all the elements I need for a VR Horror Game. Out of nowhere jump scares. Tough Difficulty. Smart pathing for use in VR. Cannot wait for future updates!

The first Vive horror game to scare the poop out of me and i love my horror games. The atmosphere is spot on and very spooky, there was one room i went in to and didnt want to leave as i finally felt safe.
To the Dev's: Enemy SFX need adjusting, the big guys sound like a girl when they die and the dogs sound like a person. Only other fault is when i picked up ammo i lose both weapons from my hands and this can be a pain if a enemy is close and i have to quickly get my gun again. Would be nice to just cycle the weapon via the touch-pad.
As its on sale its an easy 7.5/10 and worth picking up for any horror fan.

Nice game.. Zombies animation looks funny, but overall it is a cool game to play with family and friends, it has unique game mechanics for VR

Ironically, I would have rated this game higher before the recent update, a couple of the problems below were not there beforehand.
Luckily I bought this on sale recently so I will keep it to support the devs to try and iron out the wrinkles as it's got a lot of potential.
Pros:
Atmospheric, scary in places, fun until about half way through.
Cons:
Before the update could not open most doors and had to peer through them to try and open them from the other side... Do not know if this is fixed as I did not get that far since the recent update due to the frustrations below...
Now when picking up gun clips they seem to not register as picked up most of the time... either that or the gun has a problem reloading as I will pick up, say, 5 clips and then the gun will load 1 clip but when that's out will not reload until more found later.
Not being able to walk up some corridors is frustrating as the enemy is coming for you but you cannot go up to them so enemies that shoot will be able to hit you, but with the gun glitch (no clips) leaving you with just the swords you have to hide until they come out of the corridor.
Enemy gets stuck behind walls but can still shoot fireballs etc at you.
Halfway through the level the gun has a big white square every time you shoot now so you can not see what is happening while shooting.
I'm sure all this will be fixed in later updates, but can not recommend at this price for now :-(

I brought this game when it first came out , it looked good but no so good as I was playing it , the AI on zombies needs to be improved and they don't act like zombies they walk casual and also sound is terrible too, so I issued a refund , I was expecting more realistic feel to this but it does not quiet cuts the mustard for me

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1]
I was convinced by the Mostly Positive reviews to give this 2016 VR action horror game a chance. It's a good thing that Steam has a good refund policy. This game is horrible. You don't have to take my word for it, you can just watch my video to see me falling through the map here: https://youtu.be/e8miC2PfRRE
What makes it really horrible is that this was the second time this happened. Both times I tried playing this game, I fell through the map. Twice in about 15 minutes total of gameplay.
But it's not just that's it's a buggy mess. It's clunky as hell. The teleportation system is bad. One little bit of force of your left joystick (Touch controller) will cause you to move in all kinds of directions. Do not hit it by accident. There is free locomotion with your right hand joystick, but It feels like you're floating in the air versus walking on the ground.
The weapon handling is also subpar. Reloading (realistic mode) is just weird where you grab the ammo clip, put it on your chest. Then press grip on your weapon and move the weapon to your chest to reload. There's nothing realistic about it. The guns were not aligned correctly to my Touch controllers. And the aiming seemed off.
The graphics are also poor as well as the lighting. The death animations were glitchy as sometimes zombies would just freeze standing and other times they would fall to the ground. I honestly couldn't tell when one died except to stare at it for a few seconds to make sure it didn't move again.
I didn't get far into the game. I clipped through objects and fell through the map endlessly. At least manually quitting worked. Smell of Death is a good name. Because this game has been abandoned with no updates since 2017.
[b]Rate 3/10. Smell of Death ... to your money if you buy this turd without refunding within the 14 day period of buying. I know you won't play this for more than 2 hours though so you're good there.[/b]

right overall the games not to bad the dark house mode is by far the best but considering i paid £18.99 just for the first game i couldnt recommend it, i see that its gone down to £11.99 but thats still more then its worth. The £5 mark is what this game should be, this price you might aswell buy brook haven experience which is the best zombie game, i no people will probably say hordz but hordz is a terrible game. the pistol on it is probably the only weapon you can actually hit stuff with, the sword is just terrible and the machine guns not far off. good reload system but thats about it still to much for me tho so Refund time!

Obnoxious price tag on a cheesy little zombie shooter. The sounds the zombies make is as corny as it gets, the animations are lazy and repetitive, and there is no part of killing them that brings any satisfaction.
I found reaching behind my head to switch weapons to be super annoying if I want to cycle the other direction (from machine gun to pistol) I have to reach back to get through all the weapons I don't want first, which is costly when there are zombies right in your face.
I would've like to see a little more focus put on designing more realistic enemies, more satisfying shooting/head shots, and more weapons.
I got my money back.
