The Visitor Reviews

There's not a lot to it, but it's well worth the cost. I wish the voice acting had a few more takes, but the cleverly set up scares make up for it. (I $*#&ing hate that teddy bear.) Looks decent, plays from a chair if your Touch controls aren't in yet and you're on Oculus, sound design is good, and it'll probably make you jump, for sure you'll feel uneasy. Good VR demo for people, and it's only a buck.

Kind of lame honestly, the typical stuff that's meant to scare some one. If you like lame horror flicks like paranormal activity or Blair witch this might do it but ya.. didn't wage my tail

At one point, I screamed at the top of my lungs, stayed in a bit more, and then not only stopped the game, but took off the VR headset entirely for a bit. I then checked my stats and realized that I'd only been in for 6 minutes This is fantastic, and WELL worth the money!

This is the kind of game you show your friends who have never tried virtual reality before. To show them how the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive can draw on your fear just as well as reality can. I told my friends that if they wanted to try my Rift for real, they would have to play through this game, lasting roughly 10 minutes, as a test of their dedication to try virtual reality xD Needless to say, I sat and tried to hold in my laugh as they played through the game, knowing what was about to come. A few of them even refused to continue playing half-way through the game, so they failed their test. For 1€, this game is worth it all, especially because of the EXTREMELY scary atmosphere in the game!

[h1]This is a Experience![/h1] If you expect "The Visitor" to be a game... you will get disappointed. This is eventually a mere experience. But a good one! Just try to immerse yourself into the "experience". I have doubts though, if this "short" is worth 0,99 Euro?! It's really good, for what it is. But it's really short too. It will only take you about 6 to 7 mins to finish it! And the only things you can do is look and listen :) What makes it worth for some of us, will be the promise the developer [url=http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198059527159]nostalgicbear[/url] gives us in his post here, saying: [url=http://steamcommunity.com/games/457580/announcements/detail/834664268489023772][i]"Like many devs involved in VR at this early stage, I am entirely self funded, and all development is done in the evenings and late into the night. I wanted to give away The Visitor for free, and the only reason I added a price of 0.99c is to help towards making the next experience bigger and better."[/i][/url] I would like to see more of this and support a small dev too, so.. thumbs up!

This is a great introductory VR experience, especially if you want to see people freak out. It's well worth the price, and ran perfectly using a Rift DK2 with the 1.3 Runtime.

Short. non-interactive spooky sequence. I was unamazed at first, but almost shat my pants near the end. Well worth a dollar.

I've played this three times. There only really is one actual jump scare, and it got me 2/3 times. Overall, it looks quaint, but for whatever reason, I'm very fond of this experience. It's a bit easier on the eyes than Demonic Guest, and the choreography is considerably better. In Demonic Guest, you reside in the center of the bed, in this experiance, I think you're supposed to be sitting on the edge. You may have to adjust your physical location a bit. [spoiler]You come home from work and take a rest, before your wife does the same, but she has become possessed somehow. I wonder what happened to her. What's the backstory on the lady visitor?[/spoiler][list][*][quote] ːskullsmlːːrituːːrituːːrituːːrituːːrituːːrituːːrituːːskullsmlː ːrituːːDonaldToadːːkaryːːkaryːːDonaldToadːːkaryːːkaryːːDonaldToadːːrituː ːrituːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːrituː ːrituːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːrituː ːrituːːDonaldToadːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːDonaldToadːːrituː ːrituːːDonaldToadːːDonaldToadːːkaryːːkaryːːkaryːːDonaldToadːːDonaldToadːːrituː ːrituːːDonaldToadːːDonaldToadːːDonaldToadːːkaryːːDonaldToadːːDonaldToadːːDonaldToadːːrituː ːskullsmlːːrituːːrituːːrituːːrituːːrituːːrituːːrituːːskullsmlː [/quote][/list]

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift[/h1] This is a purely cinematic horror experience. You can play seated, standing, or while lying in bed (recommended). Not much happens actually. Just a few mildly "scary" events, but nothing really all that scary. It goes by very slow and I think (not sure) that you do have to look around to get certain events to trigger. Whole thing took me about 7 minutes. Lots of people in the forums complain that nothing happens. Well, stuff does happen, just nothing very good. This is mediocre, but I only paid $.49 cents and it normally goes for .99 cents. So I'm gonna leave it as a neutral recommendation. And you can watch my video playthrough / review below. https://youtu.be/MD8MrwvQQtw [b]Rate 5/10. [/b]

Please note, that I've played this on the Oculus Rift DK2, using the Oculus runtime 1.3 and the present beta version of Steam VR. Steam VR only just implemented support for runtime 1.3. It does work, but the scale is totally off. Basically the player character is about three meters large. I assume this is caused by some problem between the very new runtime 1.3 and the newest beta of Steam VR and not a problem of this game. Just keep in mind that, should you choose to play this on a Rift DK2 or CV1, you'll likely have the same problem until Steam VR gets patched. On to the game: It's really short (about 10 minutes), but it totally managed to achieves what it sets out to. It's a very simple experience without any controls except for the players ability to look around using his VR headset, but given the result the asking price seems reasonable and so I recommend this game to those who have a VR headset and are looking for a short horror experience.
