In Hello Cruel World, you experience a horror livestream in which you play the leading role. How far would you go for clicks?
Akapura Games has announced the release date for its new VR horror puzzle game Hello Cruel World. The VR game will be released on August 1, 2024 for Meta Quest 3, Quest 2, Quest Pro and PC VR via Steam.
In Hello Cruel World, you take on the role of an urban explorer as you explore an abandoned attraction called the Crab n' Grab. You are accompanied by a simulated livestream chat similar to Twitch or YouTube.
The game takes you beneath the dilapidated restaurant into an abandoned laboratory full of deadly secrets. The goal is to rescue a young woman trapped in an experimental torture test. Players must think quickly and creatively to survive.
How far would you go for internet fame?
Akapura Games is known for the VR adaptation of Behind The Frame: The Finest Scenery. The studio emphasizes that Hello Cruel World has been designed from the ground up for virtual reality and will take full advantage of VR's interactive capabilities. Players will be challenged to see how far they will go to satisfy their curiosity.
Hello Cruel World joins a long line of VR horror games that use the immersive nature of the technology to create particularly intense moments of shock. At the same time, with its simulated livestream chat, it picks up on current developments in streaming culture. The developers promise a challenging gaming experience that will push players to their limits.
How much horror Hello Cruel World actually contains will be revealed in August. In the meantime, if you want to get really creeped out, check out Madison VR.
