Get a glimpse of the spine-chilling experience that awaits in the gameplay trailer here:
In Silent Slayer: Vault of the Vampire, players embark on a mythic quest to defeat a powerful clan of ancient vampires. Players must carefully dismantle their coffins’ defenses using various tools, creating the perfect opportunity to plunge a stake through the heart of undead foes. Silence and precision are key – one wrong move and the fanged monsters will rise, immediately draining the player’s life force.
“After our success with the I Expect You To Die franchise and Among Us VR, our team started exploring other ways to create suspenseful VR experiences. A small team created a prototype all about stealthily opening a vampire’s coffin, and after jumping out of our skin several times while playing it, we all could see right away it would be an amazing game,” said Jesse Schell, CEO of Schell Games. “Silent Slayer continues our tradition of pushing VR to its limits, offering players a rich, horror-filled experience overflowing with more jumpscares than you can shake a stake at!”
Silent Slayer: Vault of the Vampire key features include:
- Vicious Vampires – Players who make even one wrong move will have a royal court of deadly vampires, each with their own peculiarities and macabre predilections, at the ready to sink their fangs in slayers’ necks before they can say “Nosferatu.”
- Diabolical Defenses – Slayers will untangle increasingly imposing and intricate traps ready to be tripped by an unsteady hand.
- Tactical Tools – Players will master many unique instruments, though a stake through the heart is the only way to end it.
- Creepy Crawlies – Only slayers who maintain unwavering focus will have the resilience to conquer unsettling diversions.
- Jumpscares Galore – Tension builds with every move. Only the bravest of souls will survive.
- An Unfolding Tale – In the end, slayers will accept their fate, souls be damned
