VR horror game Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife will share Vampire: The Masquerade’s universe – Rock Paper Shotgun

The amount of punctuation in its name may be horrifying enough, but VR gameWraith: The Oblivion Afterlife is planned as a proper horror game on its own merit. Its based on the tabletop RPG Wraith: The Oblivion which shares the World Of Darkness universe with similarly punctuated Vampire: The Masquerade. Seriously, all these colons will murder me faster than any supernatural baddie.

Set in the modern Barclay Mansion, players will take the perspective of a Wraith and unravel the many mysteries that await beyond the Shroud, say Fast Travel Games. Barclays up in Vancouver, Canada, a bit north of setting-sibling Masquerades Seattle locale.

Like the tabletop game, Afterlife will put you in the spectral boots of a Wraith, a recently deceased ghoulie thats stuck somewhere between the true afterlife and the living. You can get just a glimpse in the new teaser trailer below.

Fast Travels creative directorErik Odeldahl says I am a massive fan of games like Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Alien: Isolation, and have always felt that the kind of narrative-driven, exploration-focused horror these titles deliver would be perfect for VR.

Personally, horror games are frightening enough even without the screen strapped to my face. If youre made of sterner stuff than meand own one of them fancy headsetsAfterlife may be one to watch.

Fast Travel havent shared much more about Afterlife just yet, but say theyll be revealing a gameplay trailer in August during Gamescom.
