Hide & Spook is a party game for 3 players for the HTC Vive!
The Alchemist wears the headset, while the two Ghosts take a controller each and sneak around the room trying to extinguish the candles, using the controller vibrations to locate the candles by feel!
The alchemist tries to "catch" them by staring at them and thus dispelling them from this earthly dimension, returning the ghosts to whence they came!
======================
Game Features:
This is a simple 3 player party game, set in a single room!
It is recommended that you have a clear space about 2m x 2m, or larger.
Enjoy!
======================
Hide & Spook began it's spooky life as a game jam game, as part of the Global Game Jam 2016.
Since then, we gave it a bit of a spit polish, so you fine VR enthusiasts can try something a bit different with your HTC Vives.
