The Inpatient
(PSVR – Jan. 23)
Best Games to Look Forward to in January 2018
Horror and virtual reality are a match made in the cruelest kind of heaven. VR brings your deepest, darkest fears to life and makes you face them in their own environment. So, of course, The Inpatient is making its way exclusively to PSVR. Based in the same world as the critically acclaimed 2015 hit, Until Dawn, The Inpatient takes place 60 years earlier and sees you assume the role of a patient at the Blackwood Sanitorium. The problem is, you’ve lost your memory and have no recollection of how you got here.
The Inpatient tasks you with uncovering exactly why you’re trapped in Blackwood Sanitorium, as well as the dark secrets the establishment hides. Plus, with the experience largely being driven by the story, The Inpatient has a number of choices that’ll send you down its numerous branching narrative paths to one of its different endings. Considering how well this mechanic was implemented in Until Dawn, we’re excited to see it appear once again in a VR experience. If you’ve been looking for a proper VR game rather than an experience for your PSVR, The Inpatient may be exactly what you’re after.
