Alone

DQ reader Aaron Ward alerted me to a Kickstarter for a horror game designed for the Oculus Rift.

Yeah, I thought that would get your attention.

Here's a description:
Alone is a brand new type of horror experience. It requires the use of the Oculus Rift headset, headphones, and a PC enabled controller. Once you put on your VR headset, you will find yourself sitting on a couch in a virtual living room. Looking around the room you'll find the comforts of any home, and windows looking out to a dark and windy night. In front of you is a Television where you will be playing an FPS horror title called The Witching Hour. Using only your controller, Start the game. 
As your progress through the story you'll find that something isn't right... and the game world of The Witching Hour begins bleeding out into the virtual living room. You will experience visual and auditory thrills as the horror from The Witching Hour becomes all too real and even has you questioning whether or not it's coming from the game.
It's called "Alone", and here's the Kickstarter page. They're only asking for 25k, and it sounds like a terrific idea. Plus, here's their website: Greenwood Games.
