Silent Slayer: Vault of the Vampire

Greetings, Slayer! The results are in- feast your eyes on the Silent Slayer: Vault of the Vampire Accolades trailer on YouTube! Some highlights include: - MIXED Reality News: "I could see it establishing an exciting new VR game genre." - Dread Central: "One of the, if not the, most tense VR…

Hail to you, Slayer! Silent Slayer: Vault of the Vampire, is now available. The Story You are a vampire slayer who has been beckoned to the Castle Zar. Why? A special event for vampires is on the horizon- an event that spells doom for humankind. Will you heed the call? Make your way through…

Very well done, but scary.

**Warning: This game is NOT for the faint of heart, or the impatient.** This game is amazing! The ambience, structure, characters, and overall mechanics are exceptional. As a horror game, it's predictably terrifying. This game will get your heart racing to the point where you might feel like throwing up 😂. As of writing this, I've only completed the first two levels, and I'm already traumatized 😂. Please take this game slow, and/or take breaks, or you may feel sick.

Don't worry!

I knew this was going to be an amazing game, and it is. I have completed the first 5 bosses and I can't wait to beat the next 5. Don't worry; the jump-scares are easy to recover from. Sorry but you will need to get spooked in order to start the first coffin. IF YOU CAUSE A DISTURBANCE, don't worry! Just stop what you're doing and continue. Make sure you are 100% sure where their heart is. Also, IT IS VERY EASY TO MISS WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO STRIKE FOR THE RITUAL, but again, don't worry about it too much! They usually wake up at around 4 misses. IF YOU HAVE ARACHNOPHOBIA, (say it with me) don't worry about it! Just turn off spiders appearing in the settings; it's that easy. IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY DELETE ALL OF YOUR SAVE DATA, then oooh, sorry. Trust me, I know what you're feeling. IF YOU RUN OUT OF TIME, don't worry about it! All vampires are beatable in 6 minutes at most, (if you're fast enough) so it is ok if you die; just do it again. IF THE BOOK DESTROYED YOUR FEELINGS, then.... then..... th-then call it mean names............? IDK just ignore him. You don't need to worry. IF MY TIPS WEREN'T HELPFUL, don't worry about it! Youtube is a better source anyway. It's easier to get into horror games if you know what you're up against. Have so much fun everyone. One more thing. IF YOU DON'T HIT THE HELPFUL BUTTON, don't worry! It just means you're a loser (you're not actually a loser). (EDIT) I have now beaten the game, and it only gets twice as fun. Elder Zar can be overwhelming, but don't worry about it! honestly, the queen is more scary that the elder. Just be careful, but also be fast. The book really wants to see you kill him. Honestly, the hard challenges ahead make the game a lot more fun. Now that I have beaten the whole game, IF YOU WANT, scroll down to read spoilers. If you don't, then DON'T SCROLL DOWN. Not much room left, but the book is bad. Don't put the stake at the octant, but put the medalion on instead. Kill the book-vampire. No ending is truly good...

Worth the wait

Big fan of Schell's I Expect You To Die series, so I've been pretty pumped for Slayer since it was announced. It does not disappoint, well, there is one thing I hope to see in a sequel. Let us explore the castle! This is such a unique premise for a game and I love the actual ritual for each coffin but I was really hoping to get to free roam the castle and discover secrets, lore, and the like leading up to each vampire coffin. Fingers crossed this becomes a series! There is a lot here to like for puzzle game fans, vampire lovers, and anyone who wants a new premise to experience in VR. With any game you greatly enjoy you always wish for more so I won't hold the relative lack of content against the game, as I believe it reasonably priced. Schell, give us more!

Totally unique and feels great

I'll admit these are just first impressions after the first few levels, but they're very good first impressions! I've not played another game like it so far, having to be so careful with all of your actions adds a level of tension to each level I've not yet found in another VR game. I find myself forgetting to breathe when simply loosening nails or clipping wires. The audio is great as well, doing its best to distract you from the task at hand and adding great atmosphere. Fun game! Highly recommended!

4.5/5 stars, almost a perfect game

I beat this game in about a day and a half and I really enjoyed it. The only thing that would have made this game better is if it was longer. The narration was really good and the puzzles were challenging but still a lot of fun. I really recommend this game to anyone that's looking for a fun puzzle game. If they made a sequel, here's what I'm hoping they'd add. 1) Exploration. Before challenging a vampire, you can explore the castle to either find tools, weapons, and tips about how to kill each vampire. You'd have to solve puzzles to get the additional info and tools. 2) Tools could include oil to place on hinges to stop squeaking, a cross to give an additional try in case the vampire wakes up, garlic to keep the vampire asleep longer, etc. 3) A super hard secret boss that you'd have to figure out how to kill by piecing together clues from the castle. You'd have to select the tools to bring on your hunt and choosing the wrong tools you won't be able to defeat the boss. 4) Additional types of puzzles to open coffins on harder vampires.
