From one of the creators of The Blair Witch Project, Broken Spectre puts players in the role of Casey, a determined adventurer weighed down by shadowy secrets from her past. Twenty-five years ago, her father hiked into the inhospitable wilderness of the Coldblood Mountain National Park in northern Canada and was never seen again. When Casey discovers he may still be alive, she sets out on a path of extreme danger, venturing farther and farther into the treacherous, unforgiving wilds. Compelled to climb to higher and more dangerous elevations as she uncovers the story of her father’s disappearance, she faces worsening weather, frostbite, and stomach-churning horror in the form of mutated experiments, gruesome clues, and bizarre cult rituals. Trapped in a maze of hiking trails, abandoned mines, and mountain passes, time seemingly bends and the line between reality and nightmares blurs as cryptic puzzles abound and past traumas are revealed. All as a part of a singular, mind-bending VR horror experience.

Terror You Can Touch

“We saw the potential for hand-tracking and doubled down on it.” says Evan Jones, Executive Producer on Broken Spectre. “Using your hands directly amplifies body horror so much. You pick up a knife with your bare hands and you know you’re going to do something terrible with it.”

Broken Spectre’s industry-leading hand-tracking mechanics make for incredibly unique gameplay. No controllers are required, as players use their own hands to discover objects, climb sheer rock faces, experience gruesome body horror, and quite simply fight for their lives.

Experience the hand-tracking horror for yourself when Broken Spectre arrives June 21 on Meta Quest.
