Description: Intruders: Hide and Seek is a first-person stealth game, an intense thriller combining intense psychological terror from the point of view of a defenceless boy. In this new VR experience, you become Ben, the eldest of the Richter family children. While on vacation at a country house, you’re the witness to three dangerous intruders slipping into the house and taking your parent’s hostage.
With your parents restrained and your sister hiding, you’re stuck in the house with the intruders. You’ll have to find a way to save your family while you figure out who the three assailants are and what they want. You cannot run away or confront them. Your only option is… to hide.
Review: While a bit of a slow starter I did find myself getting into Intruders: Hide and Seek. It’s not the best horror game, but yet it still manages to get under your skin and pull you into its dark, often raw storyline of what is basically a home invasion. Sure, there are better horror games out there, but this one offers something different, something darker, even if it isn’t packaged that well. So is it worth a download? I say yes, but only on the proviso that you are willing to get into the storyline as much as you can. Maybe try and get through it all in one sitting. Only then will you be able to feel immersed enough to say you enjoyed it.
