Horror

vrarwiki.com · VR & AR Wiki
Main article: VR Apps

Horror games aim to frighten or unsettle the player. VR sharpens the genre because the headset blocks out the real world and places threats in the player's personal space, which raises the sense of presence and fear. The list below shows horror apps and games.
