About Smell of Death Episode 1: Dark House [VR]
I went in expecting the usual VR horror routine: loud noises, things jumping at your face. Smell of Death Episode 1 takes a different approach. You're exploring a dark house in first-person, piecing together what happened here through environmental storytelling and atmosphere. The VR perspective actually works in its favor, the scale and intimacy of being inside these spaces feels genuinely unsettling in a way a flat-screen game might not. The catch is pacing. This leans heavy on exploration and puzzle-solving between tension beats, which means downtime between scares. If you're after a lean, polished experience with high production values, this isn't it. But if you want a slower, creepier house-haunting VR game that respects your intelligence and lets dread build naturally, it delivers. Just know you're getting an indie effort from a small team, not a AAA production.
