Holospark is working on a ghost story for virtual reality, Séance: The Unquiet, and the company has released a 5 minute VR demo for free on Steam and the Oculus Store today. Ghost stories and horror could be a lot more electrifying in VR, since the medium is more immersive and in-your-face than a two-dimensional experience.
In Séance, you are in a haunted house where “a family confronts a tragedy not forgotten.” You can witness their fate through a virtual séance. The dramatic VR experience uses a combination of the Unreal game engine and performance-capture technology, the company said. The company is trying to create a cinematic story in VR.
