Here They Lie (VR) Critic Reviews
View All (28 total)Though it has a few unsettling, adrenaline-pumping moments, Here They Lie fails to deliver believable psychological horror. It definitely tries — it’s filled with the requisite creepy, gargling monster sounds and reality-bending that can contribute tension to scares — but it doesn’t blend its horror elements well enough to be consistently terrifying. Relying so heavily on overwrought surrealism and a few haunted house-style jumps to create tension rather than fostering any true discomfort (besides nausea) leaves it feeling flat.
Daring and provocative, but also poorly written and technically inept. PlayStation VR will no doubt get much better horror games in the future, but this is still a notable first step.
You’ll want to see everything the game has to offer, then show your friends to justify the new PlayStation VR you just bought
Prog-rock album-cover aesthetics meets occult imagery in this gripping psychological horror excursion on PlayStation VR.
