Switchback VR is a horror video game developed and published by Supermassive Games and released on March 16, 2023. It is a VR Rail Shooter spin-off of The Dark Pictures Anthology.The game puts the player in the shoes of an unnamed person traveling on a train to meet their sister in New York. Suddenly, one of the train's passengers is possessed by the demon Belial, who attempts to drag everyone on the train to Hell. The player finds themselves on a roller coaster cart going through various locations from the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan, Little Hope, House of Ashes, and The Devil in Me. Along the way, the player can save, kill, or ignore their fellow passengers trapped within the nightmare, before finally facing Belial.This is Supermassive's second VR rail shooter, after Until Dawn's Rush of Blood spin-off. |
