Although not specifically an Oculus Rift game, it's hard to imagine playing Narcosis without the headset. The game is an underwater survival story which demands the player manage his or her oxygen supply as they navigate the ocean depths when an incident leaves them stranded. Narcosis is a First-Person Survival Horror game developed by the studio Honor Code and released on March 28th, 2017 for PC.

Submitted on 5/12/2017 Review title of SpiritHawk77immersive and story driven.I enjoyed it all the way through.it was more of a survival story, than about horror, and more about the journey of the characters and the mystery behind their fates than just scarry cheap thrills. The claustrophobic setting and isolation drew me in, and the ocean depths was awesome. It felt like another world with giant crabs and everything.

Very well done!as you try to find the other members of the facility, the narrator pulled me into the story, and the ending left me shocked. Wow!the details throuhout the buildings made it seem like a place real people would work at and live, and there was only a few scenes of gore.

Thank you for not over doing it. It was sad to find someone who didnt make it.yes the game is slower paced and may not be a style for everyone. And not too difficult for an average player.

Submitted on 5/13/2017 Review title of Miyavi YuInteresting but not really a survival horrorSo you're a man exploring the ocean floor in a dive suit. You are equipped with a tiny knife and some flares. You also have a constantly draining oxygen supply but there is enough refills scattered about that it rarely becomes a concern. Unless, you're exploring to try to find all the collectibles. Things occassionally pop up on screen but it isn't accompanied by suspenseful music so it doesnt really make you jump at all.

Its just there. 'Hi, random dive suit that,suddenly, appeared in front of me when I turned around.' Most of the 'jump scares' are predictable too.

Whenever you NEED to turn around you can bet thats when the jump scare will happen. Jump jacket. Except its not really a scare.

Overall, I liked the atmosphere, story, and voice acting ( the main guy kinda sounds like Tom Hanks lol ). But it's not really scary or suspenseful. Stick empires online hacked cheats.

It's a bit too easy, and the helmet POV can get annoying with its limited vision. It's also a short game too. Like 4-5 hours.

Submitted on 8/16/2018 Review title of RainMak3r EveeFear of Water 💦Games about water and psychology always is a bad thing to mind. Fear of closed spaces, drown, death.Narcosis is something who made you acquire some interestng fears and survive bad dreams.

When i started playing this game, i was expecting something like a Big Dad in the bottom of ocean, but i saw more than this, something behind the mortal fauna. Water isn't my favorite element, it's a child fear who was brought to the surface while i was trying to make the character survive, and, i have to tell, i was relieved when the credits rolled. If the devoloper has the fear of the blue and dark water in mind when they made it, congratulation, you made me stay away from water for a good time. For those who like slow and story based game, this is something who will make you try to breath out of the room. I just wanted the game doesn't has combat, the only thing useless and boring in my opnion.

Submitted on 8/8/2017 Review title of 💀A survival-horror game for the patient and persistent.First off, please ignore the other reviews claiming that this is not a survival-horror game. It absolutely is.Narcosis is a slow burning exploration game that mixes elements of survival and psychological horror. You are lumbering around the near absolute darkness of the ocean floor trying to piece together what happened that left you stranded and hopefully find a way to escape.The story is primarily delivered via a narration done between two people conducting a post mortem interview. As you progress you slowly start to succumb to narcosis and the environment and puzzles begin to warp and torment you.If you're a fan of old school PC horror games like The Dark Eye where its more about atmosphere and story then I think this will be up your alley.Also you can 100% the achievements with a guide in about two hours. Always a plus. Submitted on 8/6/2017 Review title of SynfulSufferingworst loading time ever!not a bad game like some are saying. Its ok, some hard parts, the thing that i hated was the loading time, everytime you die or are moving to the next chapter it takes two minutes.

So if you get stuck, and have to try over and over, it takes forever and gets very frustrating. No replay value at all, if you beat the game you most likely never want to play it again. One last thing, its not scary, not even a little.

Some ok turn around and something different there parts but not gonna make you jump, unless your a child, then maybe😆.
