Shadow Factory has announced new details for its VR interactive horror-thriller Hang Up.
Just two months after debuting its first consumer game, VR production company Shadow Factory is at it again, releasing its first interactive horror-thriller on Steam -- Hang Up -- this October 2018. Hang Up is a VR interactive horror-thriller originally created for the 2018 Global Game Jam. The game is playable on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
"We constantly champion how VR can tell stories in entirely new ways. Hang Up was a really fun Game Jam experience for us. It allowed us to explore many things within very tight constraints, which led to this playful suspense narrative that we hope everyone will enjoy," says Carlos Magno, Senior Copywriter for Shadow Factory and Storywriter for Hang Up. According to Visual Designer, Kathryn Mann, who also voiced one of Hang Up’s characters, “It's a fun, spooky, experimental VR game jam game! It's creepy vibe and aesthetic is a labor of love from a group of sleep-deprived individuals whose only means of staying awake is to make it creepier. You can expect all the excitement of trying to uncover an intriguing mystery, with all the thrill of sitting at your desk!”
In Hang Up, players find themselves in a small room with a telephone switchboard. They must complete the correct cord circuits to connect calls. Plugging into the right jack allows them to listen in on conversations for a limited time. Each call reveals some unsettling secrets that make up a larger mystery. As the game progresses, the margin for error slims, and with more revelations come the greater risk of “getting caught”. Hang Up is available on Steam starting October 16th for FREE.
