Description: The most popular haunted house in VR is now available on Quest! If you love to scare yourself witless, or just enjoy watching your friends and family freak out in VR, AFFECTED: The Manor is for you! With simple controls and no puzzles to solve or keys to find in order to progress, The Manor holds nothing but scares and screams for both experienced gamers and newcomers alike.

Built from the ground up for Quest, we’ve added a new terrifying layer of immersion by allowing interactions with some of the environment in AFFECTED: The Manor for the very first time. We’ve made sure we maintained the trademark length of the experience, so each route can be tackled in around 20 minutes by anyone brave enough to make it all the way, plenty of Nopers out there are still yet to reach the end at all though…let alone make it in one go!

Review: Sadly Affected: The Manor is not perfect and very short indeed. With some very predictable jump scares, distracting music, visuals that are at times a little too dark and an un-natural touch controller holding. Yes, there are indeed some problems with this experience. But the beautifully dark atmosphere and the scarily deep immersion more than makes up for those flaws. Make no bones about it, this is as scary as VR experiences get. Yes, you will be screaming, you will feel your heart racing and at times you will want it all to stop. But at least you only have to hang in there a short amount of time. Definitely one to troll your friends and family with.
