Dreadhalls is now on Gear VR (In other news, I just shat my pants)

Ever heard of Markiplier? AKA "The King of Five Nights At Freddy's?" This game made him cry. Not "I want my mummy" crying either. He calmly removed the Oculus from his head with silent tears running down his face and said "I can't do this any more."

</figure><p><br></p><p>Moving on.</p><p>Free time is at a bit of a premium for me recently, so I took the Gear VR into work to see if I could snatch a game during my downtime. Once my coworkers had finished clamouring for a go on Temple Run and Smash Hit, I managed it, while they watched.</p><p>It is a matter of record that there was squeaking, cowering and whimpering. Solidly, for half an hour. I am also reliably informed that my feat clean cleared the floor on three separate occasions.</p><p>So what is Dreadhalls doing so right? Well, it's simple really. Dreadhalls, like FNAF, Resident Evil 3, Spooky's House of Jumpscares and Clocktower, understands that the way you keep the jumpscares fresh after the novelty has worn off is by having them as an actual gameplay element. Your monster might be scary, but it won't be scary after the twentieth time we've seen it. If, on the other hand, we have a chance to outwit it but it will murder us horrifically if we screw up, and this can happen at any time, AND IT'S ALL ON OUR JUDGEMENT... well, now that's scary. That's the kind of scary that keeps you coming back to be scared.</p><p>Reviewing Dreadhalls is difficult, because I don't want to spoiler too many scares for you. Suffice it to say that there are antagonists whose "I WILL KILL YOUR ASS RIGHT NOW" state relate to whether you're making eye contact with them, how much you're moving, what your immediate environment is and whether or not you have a light source.</p><p>What I'm driving at is if you have a Galaxy S6 or later, you need to take the plunge and order that Gear VR right now, because this marvellous game is straight off the meat rack and you need it in your life.</p><div class="alert-soft"><a href="/blogs/?tag=Gear VR Dreadhalls&start=0">#GearVRDreadhalls</a>    </div><div id="fapping" style="width:100%; border:0px #444 solid; overflow:hidden;clear:both;"></h3><a href="/user_login.phtml?back_to=//other.destructoid.com/--337497.phtml">Login</a> to vote this up! </h3></div><hr><h3 style="margin:0px; border:0px;"> LOOK WHO CAME: </h3><BR><a href="/blogs/Dalek Sex"><div style="float:left; padding-bottom:3px; margin-right:25px; width:40%; padding-left:10px;"><div style="float:left; margin-right:10px;"><img src="http://www.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/184918-d90f6-50.jpg" align="absmiddle" width="50" height="40"></div><b style="line-height:3">Dalek Sex  <i class="fa fa-heart-o"> </i></b></div></a></div><BR clear="all"><HR><div class="clrdiv"> </div><section><div class="clrdiv"> </div><div class="alert-soft-fixed"><div id="comments" name="comments" style="text-align:center;"><a name="comments"></a></div><h2 style="width:90%; text-transform:capitalize"><i class="fa fa-comment red"></i>  <a itemprop="comment" href="https://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Dalek+Sex/dreadhalls-is-now-on-gear-vr-in-other-news-i-just-shat-my-pants--337497.phtml" data-disqus-identifier="Destructoid_337497">0</a> COMMENTS </H2><div style="margin-top:20px; padding:60px 20px 60px 20px; color:#000; background-color:#fff; background-image:url('/sites/_default/img/commentsblur.jpg'); text-align:center; float:left; max-width:600px;"><h3 style="color:gray;"> Please <a href="/user-login.phtml?backto=blogs/Dalek+Sex/dreadhalls-is-now-on-gear-vr-in-other-news-i-just-shat-my-pants--337497.phtml">login</a> (or) <a href="/user-signup.phtml?backto=blogs/Dalek+Sex/dreadhalls-is-now-on-gear-vr-in-other-news-i-just-shat-my-pants--337497.phtml">make a quick account (free)</a><BR>to view and post comments.</a><BR><BR><div id="fb-root"></div><script> function update_user_box() { window.location='user_login_from_facebook_2011.phtml?backto=blogs/Dalek+Sex/dreadhalls-is-now-on-gear-vr-in-other-news-i-just-shat-my-pants--337497.phtml'; return; } window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({ appId : '141821669174947', status : true, // check login status cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session xfbml : true // parse XFBML }); }; (function() { var e = document.createElement('script'); e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js'; e.async = true; document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e); }()); </script><fb:login-button onlogin="update_user_box();" scope="email"></fb:login-button><BR><BR><center><a href="/help_twitter.phtml" style="color:#fff !important; font-weight:bold; font-size:11px !important;"><div style="padding:5px 10px; 5px 10px; background-color:#01b1ec; width:150px;"><i class="fab fa-twitter"></i> Login with Twitter</div></a><BR><a href="/user_login.phtml" style="color:#fff !important; font-weight:bold; font-size:11px !important;"><div style="padding:5px 10px; 5px 10px; background-color:#cc0000; width:150px;"><i class="fa fa-simplybuilt"></i> Login with Dtoid</div></a><BR></center><span>Three day old threads are only visible to verified humans - this helps our small community management team stay on top of spam<BR><BR> Sorry for the extra step! </span></h3></section><div class="clrdiv"> </div></div></div><div id="content-wrapper_sitebody-right"><section class="sr-cntblock" STYLE="margin-top:0px;"><h3>About Dalek Sex<span>one of us since 3:11 PM on 02.27.2013</span></h3><div id="cbuser_bio">Z list internet comic. I have worked on stuff for podcasts like What A Fool Believes, We Are The Lolocaust, The Monday Movie Show and The Gamescast. I named myself while I was blogging for Tachyon TV. There is a Dr. Who character called "Dalek Sec," only I made it a penis joke. Witty. <br/> <br/>I have a Youtube channel where I play terrible mobile games. Sometimes I write and sing funny songs, like the Tailspin theme I rewrote to be about Jonathan Holmes. <br/> <br/>Every print magazine and most of the websites I have ever written for have collapsed pyrotechnically within months, making me the Typhoid Mary of games journalism. <br/> <br/>I used to write and manage the front page of Encyclopedia Dramatica when it was still good (pre-2008). <br/> <br/>I got fired from NTSC-UK once. <br/></div></section><div class="userblog_sidebar_container"><div class="userblog_sidebar_box"><div class="userblog_sidebar_box_text"><table></table><BR><BR><div style="background-color:#5293cc;
