An article on Artribune recommends five horror VR games for autumn, all playable on Meta Quest 2. The selection includes two survival horror titles: Jurassic World Aftermath (by Coatsink Software and Oculus Studios, also coming to Nintendo Switch on November 10, 2022) and Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife (by Fast Travel Games). Two action-oriented games are highlighted: Lies Beneath (by Drifter and Oculus Studios, available on Meta Quest, Quest 2, and PC with Rift headsets) and Resident Evil 4 (by Armature Studios, Capcom, and Oculus Studios, exclusive to Meta Quest 2). The fifth entry is Gloomy Eyes, a VR animated short by 3DAR, Atlas V, ARTE France, and RYOT, directed by Fernando Maldonado and Jorge Tereso and narrated by Colin Farrell. The article notes that Jurassic World Aftermath is inspired by Alien: Isolation and the Jurassic Park franchise, while Lies Beneath evokes pulp comics like Tales from the Crypt and the art of Mike Mignola. Resident Evil 4 VR adapts the 2005 classic with a first-person perspective and redesigned puzzles. Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife is set in the World of Darkness universe, and Gloomy Eyes tells a love story between a living girl and a zombie boy, inspired by Tim Burton and Henry Selick.
