A solid but short VR horror experience, Afterlife VR is a confident and reasonably immersive game. The developer clearly had fun making it but the lack of replayability and shorter runtime stop this from being a full recommendation.
Fans of horror games are likely to appreciate the atmosphere of Afterlife VR. Beyond that, the game is a worthy addition for collectors of indie releases with low expectations.
It is not necessarily a bad game, although many aspects of it are not good enough. But it also has a few good sides. Its problem is that there are many better VR horror games on the market, which, even if they draw from the same genre clich's, have tried to spice things up in some way. However, here you won't find anything interesting or different.
Afterlife VR falls nicely into the B-tier Horror niche and does a decent job for doing only that, but is too afraid of being anything more. Unknown protagonist goes to unknown location with an unknown connection to an uninteresting story with an unsurprising twist ending. In the end, I have seen Afterlife VR 100 times, basically when my 6 year old watches...
There is nothing brand new to look forward to in the title, but Afterlife VR effectively takes a blender to a number of horror tropes and settings, delivering a sufficiently worthwhile experience.
