• The Offering - Game Description: "The Offering" is a retro, psychological thriller, puzzle-driven VR experience based on “The King in Yellow”, a short story that heavily influenced H.P. Lovecraft. In The Offering, you're a rookie cop whose first day on the job begins with a state-of-the-art training simulation, but quickly devolves into a world of neon nightmares. You find yourself deep in the woods, trapped in an abandoned house full of anachronisms, riddles, and creatures from a darker place and time. The only way out is to use your training to solve a series of complex puzzles and resist the darkness that would lead you astray...
