Acerca de este juego

Watsonville is a first-person psychological horror VR game.

It places players in the role of a child navigating the traumatic aftermath of a violent argument between their parents inside a cramped 1990s family trailer. After hiding under the bed during the conflict, you must discover what happened and find a way to escape the house and its past.

Players explore a mobile home and its surrounding spaces, interacting with objects and solving environmental puzzles that reveal pieces of a family's story. As you move through the house, everyday rooms begin to shift and distort through the lens of childhood fear, turning familiar spaces increasingly surreal as reality blends with nightmare.

Can you escape your family's dark past before it consumes you?

Environment

The game takes place in a multigenerational family mobile home. Your grandparents once lived here, and now you have inherited it along with its lingering secrets. From a child’s perspective everything feels larger, more confusing, and more intense.

The walls and rooms are filled with decorations and belongings from the 1970s through the 1990s, reflecting the life of a working-class family across generations. Players must crawl, climb, and duck through these spaces to uncover the memories, ghosts, and secrets hidden within the rooms and something else that lingers in the shadows.

Story

Not only have your parents left you alone in your grandparents’ trailer, they have left you with the weight of generations of unresolved trauma. Each room reveals another piece of the story, fragments of neglect, fear, and memory that continue to echo through the house.

Over time these memories begin to manifest into something more than the house itself. The pain and suffering carried across generations has taken shape as an entity that now inhabits the home, becoming another obstacle you must escape.

Gameplay

Watsonville is a single-player narrative horror experience designed specifically for virtual reality.

Players must piece together clues hidden throughout the home while navigating a frightening environment in order to escape both the house itself and the past that created it. Cassette tapes, photographs, and nostalgic household objects reveal fragments of the story as players search rooms and uncover hidden spaces.

Physical VR interaction allows players to crouch, crawl, climb, and manipulate objects while navigating tight areas throughout the house. Players use their microphone to trigger events and interact with the world.
