Description: A VR Survival Horror game set in a decrepit out of commission restaurant. Survey the cameras and your surroundings, conserve and recharge your power, and whatever you do… Do NOT let them in your room.

Review: ‘A Night With Gigsjaw VR’ is a VR survival horror game in which you have to watch CCTV monitors and close various grills, vents and doors to stop the evil spirit from getting to you. There is no running here, no exploration, no real survival element. Just push buttons until the “monster” appears next to you for a cheap jump-scare, then it is game over.

While I can see the inspiration this game has taken from various other games and films it doesn’t do a good job of translating that into gameplay and what you are left with is a poorly made game with some cheap jump-scares. There are far better free horror experiences out there that are worth a look before even thinking of parting cash for this. Even if this was free it would still not be something I would be recommending.
