A Very Dark Ride in the Proximity of the House of Mirrors
Steam
"A Very Dark Ride in the Proximity of the House of Mirrors" is an episodic horror, adventure PCVR game where you play as Eve, a little 5 year old with quite the dark imagination. You're a helpless child that's lost, can barely read and has no where to go. Your only knowledge of the world is from your mother and an old television. The only possible people that could help you are hunting for you and your only defenses include a wooden sword, a very large bird with anger issues, and a canon that requires well chewed bubble gum.
Detach your sense of reality and dive into strange places to explore,, solving puzzles, playing games, staying stealthy and out of trouble and sometimes engaging in testy encounters with the locals all while running your fastest and screaming your loudest as you realize you can’t possibly win. Your one friend and follower will eventually stand up for you but you’ll need to be patient. “BFF”, Bird friends forever.
THE.Y and the dummies seem to always be nearby with some actually following and just a little too close to be a mere coincidence. Why is everyone trying to take a picture of you? Avoid the dummies as your only hope is a quick escape before the real crowds come for you. While you’re running and hiding, steer clear of the EV3s that will find you and, whatever you do, avoid the forest!
Fortunately all of this only occurs in your nightmares encouraged by synthetically subdued synapses. Unfortunately your reality is much worse, guided by the hands of someone seriously sinister.
Single player: sink into the atmosphere of each level with no pesky interruptions from friends or family. Let them get their own. (Playing alone on a stormy night is recommended)
Be careful and be quiet; THE.Y can hear you walking and talking! Sneaking and hiding in the shadows to avoid everyone and everything seems like a good idea sometimes, but other times…
Wield your mighty sword against the legions of dummies, skeletons, snakes and spiders, loping off heads and limbs as you plunder, pillage, loot, maim and mutilate while wielding your trusty scrap wood sword.
No menus, no lasers, no distractions from these nightmares! Everything in VR. There’s no HUD or 2D UI to get in the way of a good view. Your health is displayed by how dirty your clothes are. No maps to guide you as a compass to your next goal will do the job. Don’t be careless and leave it somewhere. And there’s a backpack for inventory that you need to fiddle through to find things. Again, don’t be careless and leave it somewhere. Don’t forget your KEYS!
Wander about as you like but be aware that other creatures want you to wander about as you like. There’s no yellow paint in nightmares. THE.Y will be waiting for you no matter where you go.
For your transportation needs we have arranged for trams, trains, row boats and ships, and a most unusual taxi service. Don’t forget to feed the fish.
Each time another episode is released the previous locations/levels in the Series are ooched a bit. You’ll swear you’ve been there and done that so why can’t you now?
Things will get better for you. As the story progress so does Eve! Stronger, faster, and you’ll eventually realize that you just shouldn’t go into the forest.
Series 1 is only the beginning! We’re always dreaming up new levels so we’ll be releasing them as fast as we can cook them, the plan is to release a new episode approximately every month or 10 episodes each year. Each Season will be priced individually. Such a bargain! Series 1 (coming soon!): “A Very Dark Ride in the Proximity of the House of Mirrors” (10 episodes) Series 2: "A Very Dark Ride on the Islands Near the House of Mirrors" (25 episodes) Series 3: "A Very Dark Ride Through the Darkness in the House of Mirrors" (13 episodes)
