Review The Inpatient: Horror Game

Feeling already scared enough to play horror games on the latest generation platform? Now imagine, if technology now turns out to be also effective enough to offer an even, even more advanced experience. It no longer conventionally asks you to stare at a television screen or monitor, but takes you "jumping in" through virtual reality technology. That all whispers with small, faint sounds are now projected in a 360-degree environment, with an environment that seems to be in front of your eyes, and a jumpscare surprise which, of course, is ready to make your neck hair more erect than all your most terrifying moments. That is what the Supermassive Games are trying to offer with their latest game title - The Inpatient.

From the time he was introduced to the public, the Supermassive Games continued to emphasize that his appeal would be similar to what they had offered in Until Dawn before. A game that keeps choices as the most crucial content to determine what kind of experience you get, as well as enough mystery elements to make you shudder with fear. He is also certainly a game that menawakran same universe with Until Dawn itself, but with the timeline of the story of tens of years before.

Mystery is one of the key elements of the Supermassive Games story. You play a man who has absolutely no memory of his past. In addition to a short memory slice that once showed a man and his flashlight dazzling his eyes, you do not know who you are. Just two information you know right now - that you are now living in a hospital called Blackwood Sanatorium, and second? You are under the guidance of an elderly physician who has so far, seen trying to help you regain your memory.

Constantly awakened by a nightmare refusing to leave, the effort to find health was not as simple as imagined. At one point of the process, you also come a friend of one ward who also like you, not much to remember about himself. Suddenly more strange events arrive. Locked behind a cell door with no ability to escape, you only hear shouts of grimace and panic with electricity that is starting to not work properly. The hospital clerk who is supposed to care for and feed you no longer returns. Famine struck, psychological and physiological conditions worsened, and the end seemed to arrive. Until the opportunity to get back to your life, suddenly returns.

such as VR games in general, it is impossible to give you a clear picture of you, like what the Inpatient really looks like if you are facing directly with your face. Because the screenshot feature for the Playstation VR only captures one image on one side of the lens alone, and will never be able to represent the sensation of "in the world" any VR games, including the Inpatient itself. From the visual side, it includes one of the PSVR games with pretty awesome quality, especially for the detail of the characters that exist. One of the most remarkable is its ability to offer a gripping atmosphere, though within a finite range. The design of the moving sounds around you, the haunting silence, until the small sounds are enough to make your hair goose bumps you will encounter throughout the game.

One that is quite unfortunate from this series, as a VR game though, is the lack of interactivity in it. You can play DualShock 4 or Playstation Move with it, but the existing gameplay level does not offer much content where you have to interact with the various objects actively. Unlike Resident Evil 7, for example, whose scales ask you to find objects, play them, complete a puzzle, or shoot, The Inpatient is offered in a more linear portion. That this is a game that asks you more to walk or just play in limited space, and enjoy the cut-scene to continue the story.
