2. Stifled

Go blind in Stifled’s sound-based world with PlayStation VR.

But be very careful though – any noise you make might also attract lurking creatures…

Why you should play it: Stifled is a unique horror VR experience that will keep you on your toes as you tread the line between making sounds to see, and staying quiet to stay hidden.
