Our Take
Virtual reality goes hand-in-hand with immersion, making it a popular technology for horror game developers to experiment with. Seeing the hit Paranormal Activity movie series branch into video games with a first-person survival horror title demonstrates just how popular the Amnesia: The Dark Descent-inspired genre has become in recent years.
