Description: “Fluffy!”, an experimental VR short, is pure camp horror with a script based loosely on the iconic 80’s horror film “An American Werewolf in London”. A surrealistic motel is imagined in the world of the original film, starring a peculiar bellman (played by Michael Donaldson)who’s obsessed with “pets’. Run length is 1 minute 30 seconds.

Review: Fluffy! is a very short non-interactive scene that sees you in some sort of hotel room with a bellman who looks a bit like a hologram of a real person (which he is, it is an actor called Michael Donaldson) and then in just over 1 minute you get a small, but OK jumpscare. For a freebie this is OK I suppose, but there are many other VR horror experiences out there that last a long length and are a lot scarier. But as I said, this is free so do give it a go yourself. Just be warned you will be downloading it longer than you will be playing it.
