In Left-Hand Path youll gesture to cast spells squat to avoid an axe larger than your whole body dodge to let arrows whizz past you duck to look into secret passages hook hidden items into view and more. Its specifically designed for room-scale and its room-scale only.Left-Hand Path is NOT a short arcade experience. Its a fully-fleshed-out voice-acted animated RPG with over 15 hours play time. Left-Hand Path is NOT easy. To quote my biggest inspiration for the project Dark Souls "Prepare To Die". But its also not unfair. Enemies do have weaknesses and you have the power of magic itself. Youll find your way.Well see you in the Well of All Reward. We Who Watch The Well await you...Play Style DetailsLocomotion: Left-Hand Path supports both teleport-style locomotion and sliding-style locomotion. Left-Handed Support: Left-handed play is fully supported. Low-Terror And Story Mode: Prefer to play an RPG experience without the pant-ruining terror? Or want to enjoy the experience without so many gruesome deaths? Left-Hand Path now has optional Low-Terror and Story Modes so you can enjoy the game. Arachnophobia Mode If youd prefer to avoid spider-like enemies Left-Hand Path has an optional spider-free mode for you to enjoy - but dont think that makes it otherwise less challenging! Minimum Spec: Left-Hand Path should run smoothly on any PC thats VR-ready. Play Time: Left-Hand Path is 15 hours of play time or more. This is not an experience youll go through in a single play session!Steam reviewers say...I was lured in by its enchanting graphics and fantasy lore that just blends in so well with the story. Theyre also horror elements Ive jumped more in this game than any horror game I played with only two of the scares rigged. - Knytron OMEGA My girlfriend said "this isnt as scary as you said." Then the very first enemy in the entire game attacked her. She screamed and tried to rip the Vive off failed and ran directly into the wall then fell on the ground. - DeathdefyThis game is right up there with Vanishing Realms. Its the scariest game I have ever played and the graphics and sound are excellent. - Montaigne
