Dark Days

About

Dark Days drops you into a desolate desert motel tangled in secrets. As a visitor to this isolated spot, you’ll poke through dusty rooms, piece together cryptic clues, and navigate shifting spaces to uncover why the place feels... off. The controls lean into VR’s strengths, leaning around corners, picking up objects with both hands, though the pace favors slow, deliberate exploration over action. A low hum of tension builds as you realize the environment isn’t static. Shadows shift. Sounds echo from empty halls. You’re not just solving puzzles, you’re avoiding something that doesn’t want to be found. The game’s strongest suit is its mood. Parallel Studio, known for White Night, crafts a claustrophobic atmosphere that lingers. While the core mystery doesn’t stretch for long hours, the eerie silence and sudden jolts earned it a 78% on Metacritic from critics who stuck with it. Oculus users seeking a spooky, methodical VR story with a few effective jump scares might find it memorable. Just bring a flashlight and patience.
