The Dark Method

The Dark Method is a VR horror adventure starring Dr. Dark, an exorcist who discovered a way to confront evil by entering the 11th dimension. When government officials ask him to perform an exorcism, he is drawn into a story involving demonic possessions, haunted dolls and a mystery behind the request. Choose the 18-chapter story campaign or The Dark Files, a separate mode built around repeatable exorcisms in a randomly generated mansion. The campaign combines exploration, puzzles and monster battles, while The Dark Files has you gather ritual items and complete an exorcism before the haunting catches you.

The game offers snap or smooth turning, with an adjustable smooth-turn speed, and supports free locomotion or teleport movement; teleport is available only in the campaign. Valve Index is tested and supported. The game does not support Virtual Desktop; the supplied information recommends Air Link for wireless play on Oculus Quest.
