Description: Light of Mine is one of the scariest experiences you will have in VR this Halloween. Explore an ancient temple where innocent looking statues come to life, but only when your back is turned. Use your candle in the darkened temple to find your way and outwit the horrors within. You will spend the rest of your day looking over your shoulder when the headset comes off. Light of Mine is made by adults on the autism spectrum at nonPareil Studios. We are a studio that provides better futures for adults with autism, providing training in game development, programming, art and design. #PoweredbyAutism
Review: From the moment you start playing Light of Mine and get the idea of the game, you will be enjoying it and praising its originality. The idea is simple, you need to get from point A to point B while keeping your torch alight. Otherwise, the enemies (who are basically the Weeping Angels from Dr Who) will catch you and kill you. This keeps you looking behind you and getting more and more paranoid about what is happening all around you. The game even looks good which makes the horror element even scarier. Best of all this game is 100% free! Is it worth a look? Absolutely, in fact…I would have happily paid a few quid for it, but it is quite short so I am grateful that it is free.
