A short, sharp shocker, A Chair In A Room is part-VR escape room, part-Southern horror story. As a nameless amnesiac who winds up in a mental institute, you'll go through a series of flashbacks to remember who you are and how you got there.

Though this is a few years old now, I was still pretty impressed with how the game looks and plays. There's a really nice, spooky atmosphere throughout, and the way the game uses lighting (or lack thereof) is really effective. The motel section even included a scare that actually made me say "oh fucking hell" out loud (which doesn't happen often, believe me).

At around 3 hours long this really isn't worth the full price tag, but definitely pick it up on sale if you're into VR games and haven't played it yet.
