Is ARAYA worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror fans who want a first-person murder investigation in a hospital
- Players who enjoy stories told through three character viewpoints
- VR users with Oculus Rift or HTC VIVE who want the option to play without a headset
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who prefer non-horror settings may bounce when the game places the investigation inside a Thai hospital
- Players who want a story centered on one protagonist may find the three-viewpoint structure a poor fit
- Players seeking languages beyond English and Thai may not find their preferred option in the initial release
Our take on ARAYA
The bounce point comes when the story changes viewpoint among three characters while the murder case is assembled. Players who prefer a single protagonist may find that structure disruptive, especially when the investigation depends on exploring different parts of the hospital.
What is ARAYA?
ARAYA is a first-person horror adventure set in a Thai hospital.
The story follows three different characters, with each viewpoint contributing to the investigation of Araya’s murder. Players explore various areas of the hospital, gather details, and work to piece together the mysterious circumstances of the case. The game can be played with or without a virtual reality headset. It supports Oculus Rift and HTC VIVE, with keyboard and mouse or an Xbox controller. The initial language options are English and Thai. Its structure combines hospital exploration, shifting character perspectives, and a murder mystery presented through a first-person horror setting.
