What makes my game unique?

The Rabbit Hole is not a jump scare game, it is a true tribute to great puzzle horror games. Apart of having an amazing environment, the game challenges your logic through several hard puzzles and explore a very mysterious room where strange things happen. The mechanics of this game are also a big feature. Apart from moving and interacting with the environment you can use items that will make you change your size, just like Alice in Wonderland, In the last update (to be approved by the Stores) we also have released two locomotion options, one that is a free roam and another with teleport, in order to make it suitable for people with more sensibility to cyber sickness.

Why could my game win an award?

Because it is a game made by gamers for gamers with passion for challenges. We combine a very dark environment with the Virtual Reality technology to create a horror atmosphere and really immerse the player on a new world. We used a lot of different mechanics to make possible for players to play the game without too many instructions, leaving them to discover and explore the environment around them. The Rabbit Hole is not only a walking through experience, you must interact with many puzzles and use logical thinking to progress on the game. Our gameplay was well detailed and defined, and as an episodic game several new levels will unfold a great story and unlock many challenges. We pushed the hardware at most, using Unreal Engine, and created a very detailed environment with great materials, using the Physics Based Shader that U4 has. The sound was one of the features that we took great time to make it perfect to a VR experience. Several times you can perceive things happening around you just by the sound, as steps and laughing, and the increasing heartbeat will warn you that you are running out of time. If you never tried a VR Game, you should try The Rabbit Hole, and understand how deep and challenge a true game experience can be.
