Gameplay

The player can freely move through chapters and choose various methods to complete the game. With the two Oculus Quest controllers, the character interacts with game items and weaponry with two hands, and uses pipes, cables and ladders to move. The two controllers are used when shooting: for example, the player can effectively reload a shotgun with two hands or fire from a pistol while holding onto a cable with the other hand. A multiplayer mode released in 2020 allows two players to play through the campaign together. In 2021 a new Challenges gamemode was added for singleplayer and multiplayer where you can play the game with different features.

Plot

The protagonist finds himself at the abandoned research station Horizon, where he has to face many battles against hordes of zombies. Along the way, the player is helped by an unknown person watching him through the research complex's CCTV system and giving verbal hints. In the later levels, the voice unexpectedly starts trying to slow the player's progress. At the end of the storyline, the game's protagonist meets the mysterious helper and learns their main secret.
