Okay so I got to try the Oculus Rift DK1 in Greece where I found this little shop that had the VR headset hooked up to a gaming PC in the middle of nowhere. So I put on the device being a little sceptical then BAM it hit me like a freight train on acid. I was transferred to a never ending maze of horror I could not for the life of me get through, also known as Dread Halls.
Now let me tell you, what looks like any average horror game on a computer monitor gets transformed into a full blown nightmare on the Oculus. I saw the game and laughed at the people who foolishly jumped out of their chairs and fell onto the floor while gaming, I thought to myself are these people for real? This has got to be a joke. The actual joke was on me as I found out all too soon that the Oculus was no joke. Dread Halls scared the living day lights out of me, I found myself peering over corners and anxious as I looked over to see a shady figure outlined in the dark slowly creeping towards me. My first thought was to run but then I realized I was still sitting on a chair, so that wouldn't work. I ended up finding my way to a room full of stone statues I had no idea at the time were alive slowly creeping towards me until I saw it right in front of my face staring into my very soul I screamed and threw off the Oculus in amazement. The rest of the day I had weird feelings I couldn't explain because it was an unexplainable experience, you just have to try it to understand what it's all about.
