Is the game any good? The movie was pretty awful.
The games are decent indie horror, the VR version is the most immersive and scary for obvious reasons, and the fact that all the games have you sitting stationary in a security booth makes it well suited for VR. I have no idea why there are like 7 games, as far as I can tell the gameplay is nearly identical for each title? I've only played a couple, and not for long, so I could be missing something, but it's definitely not deserving of its massive popularity, it's just a good format for going viral with streamers and thus zoomers. The lore is bad-campfire-story tier and feels like a circus handkerchief pulled out of the creator's ass, so it doesn't surprise me that the movie sucked.
