Don't Scream

Don't Scream flips the usual horror format into a straight-up competition. Instead of a story to solve or enemies to fight, an antagonistic host walks each player through a gauntlet of scares built specifically to make you break. Sudden noises, closing spaces, things that appear where nothing should be. The objective has nothing to do with combat or puzzles. It is entirely about how long you can hold your nerve while the game does everything in its power to make you flinch, and the host does not let up once it senses you are close.

Because it plays one player at a time while the rest of the group watches on a screen outside the headset, Don't Scream turns into as much of a spectator event as a VR game. Friends heckle, laugh and film each other's reactions, and the scoreboard comes down to a simple, brutal metric: who kept it together the longest before the scream slipped out. It is one of the most social horror experiences at GravityX precisely because everyone gets to watch everyone else lose it, and nobody leaves without a story to tell.
