- HTC Vive
- Rift CV1 (Please read the discussion titled "Running on CV1" if you are using the CV1)

Why The Visitor?
- Ideal VR experience for scaring friends and family.
- It is a great introduction to VR

Gameplay Mechanics
The Visitor was made with the intention of being as accessible as possible, so because of that, absolutely no controls are required. You just need to put on the headset, look around, and enjoy :)Поддерживаемые языки: english

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!
Only a few minutes long and you just sit in the bed for the whole experience. For $1 it is fine. The room is done very well and has great ambiance. There are a few points that are somewhat scary. I think yougsters could play this and not be too scared. Nothing adultlike here that would limit it to adult only. You sit on the bed as ghosts and poltergeists do things around the room.
Experienced on the Oculus Rift
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.

Rate 5/10.
This is my favorite horror VR game to demo to people who are bad at getting controls quickly. Yes, it is short and you need to pay attention to the "light flashes" (but I only had 1 person who had trouble following)
This game really got me the first few times, Frightening.
Also it's cheap. at only 99 cents its GREAT!
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. 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?

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.
very good effort !! creepy , very short but 3 or 4 stand out oh $h1t moments :) graphically not fantastic but for less than the cost of a cup of coffee definately worth it ... well done , looking forward to more content from this user ... maybe some lower lighting / additional atmoshere would help and the purlpe sky outside really reduced the immersion for me .. but thats just being picky :) an actual jesus on the cross ( hey im a catholic ;) would increase the poop factor at that moment imho :)
great job :)
dont go into thinking this is a game, it is just a easy ten min experience with no controls and nothing to learn. good for a one time play for 99 cent and easily a great game to have to let people test your headset without having to learn anything/
10 minutes ago I thought, "How scary could a $0.99 game be?" Now, as I'm writing this review, still sitting in my poo covered shorts I realized, I've never experienced true fear until now. Now if you will all excuse me, I'm going to go pick up about 100 night lights...My appartment is about to look like the stairway to heaven...
Definitley locking the door tonight...
Although this is a very short horror demo, I think it is well worth buying. The visitor was very immersive and creepy. I really hope to see a longer version or a full game released. (If that happens, it will be an immediate buy for me.) This is a great way to show friends and family the immersion of VR. (And really fun to watch their reactions.)
I must admit, it took me 3 tries to finish this. Why you might ask? I got creeped out. My final and successful attempt was accomplished by leaning against my wall so the chaperone field was activated - thus keeping the ghosts out with my awesome pretend Faraday cage.
It's short - you can't do anything - and it's got some jump scares, but this has what many games lack - terror.
Give the guy a dollar. Let him make something grand with it.
This experience does a great job at setting up a creepy atmosphere. I tried it with my kids watching and all of us had a scary good time. My youngest wanted to give it a shot and stayed in for about a minute before he decided it was too intense. My wife tried it a little later, having missed my initial run, and the kids and I had a blast watching mom. She even picked up on a few things that I missed on my first go so I'll have to try it again. This is a good fun demo for the 99 cent price tag. I'm looking forward to the next project. Thanks..
Wow, so boring. Glad this was only $1.00. The audio was so low I could barely hear it (my volume was at 100%). Not scary at all. Each of the three times I loaded this game I was on a different part of the bed. I'm glad so many other people like The Visitor but I was laughing during the entire experience. Won't buy another game from this developer if the quality is this horrible. Thanks for trying -- we all want to support developers -- but consider something a little longer and more immersive. This was really terrible.
Boring.
I really didn't expect much of this, but this was really boring. To stay constructive: There is way to much time between the different events, and the buzzing, flickering lamps are annoying and take to much from the atmosphere.
I would have been happy if the events were triggered by looking to specific locations. And only if the player is not doing what you need him to do or is totally lost, use the light flickers as a last resort of a hint.
Short. non-interactive spooky sequence. I was unamazed at first, but almost shat my pants near the end.
Well worth a dollar.
This is a Experience!
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 nostalgicbear gives us in his post here, saying: "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 would like to see more of this and support a small dev too, so.. thumbs up!
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!
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.
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.
