A VR multiplayer [but set number], ambient horror game in which there is a space filled with dread to explore and escape. The players can move around, perform simple trigger interaction to read or inspect items, and turn on or off their own flashlight, but nothing else — no speaking/writing, no inventory, no other object to use than a flashlight. Players will unravel various parts of story and mystery depending on what they want to explore and their mode of play — so not guaranteed to unravel or know the whole story during a playthrough.

Each player can hear binaural audio that only she can hear, so even if a player goes to the same location as another player, it does NOT mean that will trigger the same or any sound for both. In fact, some sounds can only be heard by some players. Goal is to escape by working TOGETHER, but how do you agree to cooperate and communicate with these conditions? The audio [the secret audio messages] will be the key to what people need to do to escape, but hard to get others to understand and agree to. You can point with flashlight, turn it on and off, and walk to areas.

The solution involves various ‘characters’ being at certain locations and everyone [still in the space/game] thus standing at their location at the same time [maybe with lights on or off]. There could also be different end/escape conditions such that if you can all get one player to go to a certain special place or do the opposite with her light as the others, you get a special ending, perhaps because if you reveal enough of the story you find they are not like the others. That one person could receive secret messages that tell her to try to get players in a group or a different set of spots or one spot at a time [where they disappear].
