Ideal for those seeking an intense, immersive experience with original mechanics based on constant vigilance and psychological tension.

The offer has been recently launched and transforms this game into a free title instead of the usual €2.99. Although it’s not confirmed whether this is a permanent or temporary promotion, access is free at the time of writing this news, so it’s recommended to claim it as soon as possible from the Steam store.

Free VR Terror for Steam: Requirements and Features

The title in question is Keep Watching VR, a first-person escape game where enemies move when you’re not looking at them. The main mechanics include:

• Limited flashlight use due to battery life

• Exploring the environment to find a key to escape

• Camera as a distraction or defense resource

• Teleportation movement (free movement still in development)

• Exclusive to PC virtual reality headsets

Free on Steam

• Keep Watching VR – Download for free

The game requires a virtual reality headset to play and has some technical limitations to consider: for now, the flashlight only works with the left controller, and the camera with the right. It’s also indicated that locomotion is restricted to teleportation, although experimental options are on the way.

For a more immersive experience, it’s recommended to use headphones, as the sound design plays a key role in the game’s atmosphere.

Keep Watching VR is part of a wave of indie horror games that are betting on virtual reality as their main platform. And although its proposal is simple, the minimalist approach and constant tension make it an interesting option if you like the genre.

Available for free on Steam for an indefinite time (although it may change), so if you have a VR headset, take advantage and add it to your library now.
