Cosmodread
Trapped in a dying spaceship filled with horrors, you must explore, survive, and find your way back to the safety of Earth. Cosmodread features a rich, tense and immersive atmosphere that will make you forget about the world outside the headset.
EXPLORE
Search for resources and find a way home. Every run will have you play in a new procedurally generated layout, with random positions for rooms, corridors, items and hazards, and different emergent situations. You’ll never quite know what’s behind the next door.
SURVIVE
Use your own hands to interact with the environment. Open doors, drawers and lockers and rummage through their contents. Collect basic resources, and craft weapons and equipment to deal with both enemies and hazards.
FIGHT
Crouch behind cover and shoot at enemies with your crossbow, or set a trap for them to walk into. But remember: ammo is scarce! Sometimes it’s better to just grab an object off a shelf and throw it away to distract the creature sniffing after you.

Simple in design and well executed. It can be rather challenging but is rather Forgiving in how you unlock things, meaning death and failed runs isn't a huge setback.
Easily a title to place into the "If you own a VR Headset, you should grab this game" List

only 40 minutes into the game right now. But I have to say this is the first VR game that really gave me goosebumps and a feeling of "coscmic terror". The first time I laid my eyes on the "thing", I actually felt that primal fear. Very atmospheric. So far it feels like Event Horizon + Dead Space. Can't wait to play more of it.

This is one of the best VR horror games, and I enjoy revisiting it every now and then. Only real issue is that once you know how the game's mechanics and enemies work, it becomes very easy. If you want an actual challenge you need to enable a bunch of modifiers before starting a new game.

Let's start by putting this into perspective; I was interested in the concept of this game, so having finally brought it I loaded the game up for what was only intended to be a quick try.........and some +5hrs later, I'm still hungry for more!!!
The game is a roguelike set upon a derelict space ship, which is infected by some form of mutants/mutating-virus. The enemies themselves aren't too scary (they're akin to a twisted version of some of the Vertigo 1 or 2 enemies, with a hint of dead space mixed in there to set the tone) but it's the potentially limited ammo and great sound design which holds the atmosphere and keeps you on your toes!
The space ship is procedurally generated including weapons, oxygen tanks and all other items. The starting weapon appeared to be the crossbow but more weapons (as well as useful items) can be unlocked as you discover data drives in each play-through and this is the bit which keeps me coming back as every play-through is different, sometimes I was struggling for ammo, other times for oxygen but as you unlock the ability to fabricate some of these items by gathering resources it can change the dynamic of the game in your favour and kept me wanting just one more go (again and again and again).
This game really is a hidden gem and to be fair I only stumbled across it due to some YouTube videos which briefly mentioned it. Even at full price (which is relatively cheap anyway) this game is definitely worth it, it's a unique VR experience which I can thoroughly recommend to anyone who is even slightly tempted by either the concept of the game or the reviews they've read so far!

Cosmodread is highly inspired by survival horror games such as Resident evil, Deadspace and Alien Isolation. Every playthrough is diferent with a new room configuration, items and monsters/aliens disposal through the ship. The graphic looks like a mobile game however the ambiance and the sound design create a terrifying atmosphere. The enemies have a cool design, not that scary though. The guns feel clunky and dont have great mechanics, they work but you'll probably stick to one or another that you most like. One playthrough lasts about 2-3 hours and i managed to finish the game after 5-6 times, not that hard but you can make your life miserable using mods on the menu. The room exploration mechanics are very cool and add alot to the tension of the game. The crafting system is good. The one thing i hate about this game is that the movement slows down when you move sideways, i understand why the devs did that but still very anoying. The ending is very good. Overall i had a very good experience with cosmodread, im a casual player and the difficulty was on the right level for me. If you like survivel horror games you'll enjoy cosmodread. I just hope the Devs make more games like this one.

Only started playing this, bearing in mind this is my first VR Horror game. I keep a fan on my back usually when playing VR as it can generate quite some heat however I'll tell you my body was shivering when playing this game as opposed to being warm. Really brought me back to the days of booting up the original Dead Space for the first time when I was younger.
I never really understood people who have a fear of sleeping in the darkness, but playing this game....Oh Boy I have never felt such Euphoria just having a light on in a room.
10/10. Will forever sleep with a light on now.

I played this before on the quest version and it's really fun, but watch out in the lockers... it's the most terrifying thing you'll ever see jumping in your face... so annoying.
