Wraith: The Oblivion — Afterlife is a wonderful example of what a pure horror survival game made exclusively for VR can be. It forces you to be slow and deliberate. It rewards you for making the most use of your physical play area as you slip out of harm's way or sniff out Barclay Mansion's many secrets. It also hosts a cast of interesting characters, and each of its monstrous specters has a fascinating backstory to seek out.
If you are looking for an atmospheric VR survival horror with a beautiful ghost-story setting and prodigious sound design, Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife is the game for you.

The atmosphere in this game is insanely good and the soundscape and moody lighting is what does it. Distant footsteps and creaking floor made me shudder as I walked through the dark corridors of the mansion.
The story is mysterious and intriguing and definitely makes you want to know its secrets. After finishing the game I immediately wanted to play it again just to pick up on the details of the story that I didn't understand during my first playthrough. If you enjoy games like Amnesia, Alan Wake, Outlast, Blair Witch, Alien Isolation etc, you're gonna love this!
The game slowly lures you in with its beautiful aesthetics but evolves into an intense horror experience that is probably my best one yet.

There’s so much more I could add about Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife but I’m not about to risk spoiling the experience. Or, more selfishly, I’m not going to say anything that could dial back its fear factor; if you’re going to play this, you’re going to be as scared as me, dammit. Gloomy, unsettling and engrossing in equal measure, you’ll regret not stepping into Wraith‘s distressing world. [Oculus Quest 2]
An interesting horror adventure you should try, especially if you have an Oculus Quest 2.
Aftermath is a very interesting horror adventure. It’s engaging and well designed, and we have enjoyed exploring the Barclay Manor even if there was a constant sense of déjà vu.
Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife serves up a fairly substantial slice of fear and intrigue. Don't be too held back by the pulpy delivery of the game's narrative, or some bits with noticeably lower polish, because in the end this horror-adventure fundamentally delivers on its promise to get your heart racing.
While the VR medium definitely makes the game scarier, there’s absolutely nothing about Wraith that wouldn’t have worked just the same in a normal game. The hide-in-seek genre of horror games has been done to death, and Wraith would have been much better served by more scripted encounters, on rails scares, and fewer (or no) fail states. Once a monster catches you and sends you back to your last save, it loses almost all of its power to scare you. Wraith stopped being scary when it started being tedious. It’s one of the most disappointing horror games I’ve played because I loved the way it started, but its strong introductions never developed into anything more compelling.
PROS: Rich and interesting story + Great ambientance + No cheap jumpscares but tension + Very realistic hands and arms + Easy puzzles and object use that add variety to the gameplay
CONS: Hands go through objects and walls + Walking is slow and if you don't move straight you go even slower + Not so scary as i tought + Confusing final about what to do
