The scariest VR games and movies on Android
Sisters (VR Horror Game, Android)
Another ‘sit there and look around and attempt not to poo yourself’ adventure into terror. Sure, the appearance of sinister doll things and creepy children singing weird gothic songs isn’t exactly super original in this genre, but Sisters is still a brief-but-creepy-as-hell animated ride with a couple of effective jump scares and plenty of attention to detail, which demands at least a second viewing.
Silent Home (VR Horror Game, Android)
Silent Home is another VR game like House of Terror, where you can freely wander around a slightly terrifying haunted abode looking for pages of an exorcism book. This time however you don’t need a controller, as you control your movements with a pull of the Cardboard’s trigger.
The developers appear to have taken inspiration from P.T. and a fair few other horror games, but Silent Home is still very effective at creeping you out, with some stand-out freakiness as you wander the same corridor over and over.
Dark Walls (VR Horror Game, Android)
Dark Walls is a simple game with limited interaction but plenty of chills. Of course, the plot is about as original as the average Steven Seagal movie, casting you as a night watchman stationed at a freaky hospital. You can look around 360-degrees and admire the horribly run-down environments up-close, while staring in a particular direction moves you to the next spot.
Unsurprisingly, Very Bad Things happen pretty quickly and there are a couple of solid jump scares as you shriek and whimper your way through the horrid halls.
Chair in a Room (VR Horror Game, Android)
Surprise, it’s another VR ‘game’ that has you rooted in place while horrible things happen, but Chair in a Room is a solid and undeniably scary effort. The build-up is deliberately slow, taking you from a bit of uneasy stomach clenching to pull-the-glasses-off-and-throw-them-across-the-room terror. Despite a couple of janky moments, it’s a well-produced slice of VR horror.
VR Horror Escape (VR Horror Game, Android)
This Asian horror sees you wandering around a spooky old house at night, playing with typically sinister music boxes and the like. I started to feel a little sick after a while as there’s a lot of fast zipping around, but it’s a nicely crafted and quite simple horror game for Cardboard. Be warned however, the captions that pop up aren’t in English, so it can get a little confusing.
Layers of Fear Solitude (VR Horror Game, Daydream)
The original Layers of Fear was terrifying enough, but on Daydream VR the horror is right in your face. You must explore a creaky and empty old mansion, hunting out clues as to what went on inside its shadowy halls. Sure there are plenty of effective jump scares, but it's the foreboding atmosphere and haunting visuals that really stand out.
11.57 (VR Horror Movie, Android)
One of the best ‘sit there while scary crap goes on all around you’ VR horror experiences so far. 11.57 is very brief and doesn’t have any coherent story to speak of, but you’ll almost certainly be freaked out at the weird ghostly shenanigans. It’s all live action too, which adds a greater sense of realism and growing dread.
Black Mass (VR Horror Movie, Android)
If you’re after something that’s completely mental, then The Black Mass Experience is a gratifying choice. I won’t even begin to describe what happens, beyond the fact that you wake up in a garage, having been drugged, and all manner of weird and nasty things happen. This is a straightforward VR movie, so just sit back and ‘enjoy’ the show.
Sobrenatural VR (VR Horror Movie, Android)
A short 360-degree horror video based on the Insidious movies, there are a couple of decent jump scares and some effectively creepy moments. It’s all in Spanish, but don’t let that put you off.

Good potential in Virtual Reality eSports
Huge potential in Virtual Reality eSports
There is huge potential for Virtual Reality in eSports
Virtual reality has fast become an international sensation. The overall investments from game companies going into eSports is huge.
Imagine the possibilities virtual reality has to offer eSport viewers. Imagine placing on the VR headset and being a part of the game without a need to be in the crowd. The viewer able to see and experience action in the game even better than the pro player. The spectator able to see what the pro player sees and more. The spectator can switch between pro players and see what all the players sees, watching what each pro is looking at and what he is doing. This is the same for the game itself; imagine if you placed on your VR headset and you could be able to cycle between different players, in games like Dota 2, Overwatch, League of Legends or Counter Strike, switching between the action so you can watch what you wanted to watch live.
VR headsets are cheap and can even made from cardboard and two inexpensive lenses and a smart phone. VR could, and I believe it will, take eSport viewing to whole new level. And that is just from the audience perspective. Once eSport Pro Players start usign VR technology to immerse themselves deeper into these competitive games it will take the esport pro circuit to whole new standard of gameplay.
eSport competitive first person games like Overwatch and Counterstike will most likely lead the VR immersion trend, because FPS lends it self to the VR experience point of view. eSport games like Hearthstone will not really benefit from the VR experience because it is essentially a 2D card game.
Watch this space. A revolution in gaming has already begun.
