Description: Flinch is a VR horror game about terrifying yourself, but more importantly your friends and loved ones. You’re racing against time and trying to keep your cool. Flinch monitors your behaviours and can detect when you jerk or move suddenly if you get frightened. Eeek! A second player or party can use the keyboard to try to scare the in-game player. Something evil is lurking waiting to strike!!! Monsters will attempt to attack you, but the light is your friend. Keep them at bay using torches and lighting candles. Navigate a maze of suspense and last as long as you can! Most importantly, don’t flinch!
Review: Flinch is a pretty basic looking horror experience in which you try and keep away an evil monster thing by waving your light at them. Although, what is new is the option for people outside the VR headset to press buttons on the keyboard to scare the player in the headset. While I wish this was a free experience I would try and get this as part of a cheap bundle of other games. Paying just a quid or less for this might mean you get a little Halloween party game on the cheap.
