Description: A prison for the undead and dying. A hell from which you will never escape. If you’re reading this, you’ve likely found that the nuances of life are slowly leaving you. One breath at a time. One paused heartbeat within your chest. The Far Watchers own this diseased island and have infected you with their Animus, a machine that holds you together, and one that aims to kill the death inside you! They’ve created this hell to test you, their weapons, and all their other damnable creations. Their cameras both seen and unseen track your every movement throughout this swamped and accursed place, and their flitting shadows move just beyond the edge of observation. They have given you a second life, and it is for you to find out how and why.
Review: VRZ: Torment (and the demo is called “Mysterium VR Demo” for some reason) has a lot of potential to be a great game. Sure, the updates and fixes seem to have stopped, but just small changes will make the world of difference to this game. It looks OK and at times can be oddly immersive, but it feels so unfinished that it takes away from the draw of the game. Throw that onto the lack of online players and you have yourself an OK game that is pretty much dead in the water, much like one of the zombies from the game.
