Immersive first-person horror game built from the ground up for VR. In Afterlife, you play as the wraith of Ed Miller, a recently deceased photographer who mysteriously died while visiting the macabre Barclay Mansion, a once-upon-a-time staple of Los Angeles nightlife that fell into disrepair after a series of events went horribly wrong. In fact, this indelicate mixture of dimly lit grime and slow boil tension leads to some of the most satisfying thrills I’ve had in a VR headset this year. Given only a flashlight for self-defense, you’re left to your wits as you try to outrun various specters across a sprawling Hollywood mansion.


As horror survival games go, Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife is as unsettlingly “horror survival” as you can get in a VR headset.
