Personally, I will be avoiding playing this with an OR. It would be positively stressful. I just spent 20+ minutes holed up hiding like a scared child, in a locker because the Alien wouldn't move off. eek2
Eventually it found me, ripped the door off the locker and it was 'Game Over!" .

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

you have to stand back and hold your breath when it gets closer,if you do it before you just waste breath, i think it can hear your exhale after holding your breath too, and holding it too long draws your life killing you, then you are killed again by the alien, lol.

I'm currently playing Alien Isolation with a DK2 Rift smile I've only recently saw an Alien for the first time and I'm currently in the section full of tech synthetic creepy people, so I can't yet report on how I'll deal with being ripped apart in VR smile Apart from the scare effects, I can say that playing Alien in VR is really amazing though, it really puts you in the middle of the spaceship and the station, and the environment is so well designed in this game that it has probably been my favourite first person experience in the Rift so far (not counting cockpit experiences like E:D and DCS which are different beasts and amazing too). At some points (incuding straight at the beginning) I really felt as if I was there.

I must say I'm rather puzzled as to why one would
want to have a more realistic experience of being
torn to bits by a metallic alien killing machine.
But then I've never gotten the point of horror
movies, either.
