The Oculus Store got a little bit more spooky today. No, I'm not talking about how it's run by Facebook, that's certainly frightening in its own right. No, I am talking about how Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition was just released on the Oculus Store for $29.99 (USD).
Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition is a "story-driven, psychological VR horror game that immerses players in with the terror hidden in the Black Hills Forest." This is an original story by Bloober Team, the studio behind Layers of Fear, Observer, and the upcoming title The Medium.
The game features an original story and was rebuilt specifically for the Oculus Quest platform. It features a new control system that is optimized for VR, new creature encounters, and new in-game events that will "surprise and scare." To that end, yes this is a VR version of the non-VR version of the game that came out in late 2019.
If you don't feel like messing around with the Oculus Store, and who can blame you, you will have to wait a couple of additional months for Blair Witch to hit additional VR platforms.
Other features include a new gesture command system for your canine companion, Bullet – give him treats right out of your hand, pet him at any time, and even play fetch! Dive deeper into the darkness with newly-designed interactive environments where you can catch, throw, and stack objects, as well as map out your plan on paper with an interactive marker, and interact with drawers, doors, gates, buttons, and more.
Designed with the Oculus Quest platform in mind, Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition supports higher resolution and high-quality textures made possible by the power of this new hardware.
