00:00Let's go!
00:30Let's go.
01:00This is Trenches VR by the developer Perpetual Europe Limited and it was released on the 21st of October 2025.
01:09If you have a heart condition or frightened easily, this is not going to be the game for you as this game is full of jump scares.
01:16And I'm not a guy who jumps so easily, but this game had me jumping like a kangaroo.
01:21About the game.
01:22You have one life, so use it carefully.
01:24Find your way out of the trenches.
01:25There are clues and items scattered around to help you.
01:28Use your whistle and then listen for a sound.
01:30Follow that sound, but be warned.
01:32You are not alone.
01:33Move quietly and carefully.
01:35Be careful when you blow your whistle.
01:37Don't run.
01:38Don't make a sound.
01:39Be careful of walking on wood as it creaks.
01:42And try to get out quickly as you can as the passing minutes are making you lose your mind.
01:47And you will start seeing things.
01:49Levels and sizes.
01:50I think the level size is decent.
01:52Maybe could have been a little bigger with maybe more tunnels to go through or even some crawl spaces.
01:58But as far as I could tell, I think it's just one enemy in there with you.
02:02You can find a gun, but it won't kill the enemy.
02:04But it will slow them down so you can run away.
02:07You also can find a knife, which is more important because you will be able to cut away the barbed wire fences.
02:13Bottles are also important to make a noise to distract the enemy so you can get away.
02:17Then there are notes laying around.
02:19You also carry a backpack to store things in.
02:22Mechanics.
02:23For most part, the mechanics were great.
02:25But there were at least two places that I ran into where I couldn't walk across the wood no matter which direction I approached it from.
02:32Then there are a few occasions when the objects I was following would appear below the ground level.
02:37Making it very difficult to see and to try and pick up.
02:40There was also something with the controls that I couldn't figure out as it was appearing at random.
02:44But it was like a teleport system, but I couldn't figure out how not to make it appear because I didn't want to use it.
02:51Controls.
02:52The control system is simple.
02:53Walk, run, grab, shoot.
02:55Then duck in real life if you need to hide behind something.
02:57It'll take a few seconds to learn.
02:59Much of the game will be taught to you in your base before you go out on your run.
03:03So make sure you read everything around you.
03:06Game menus.
03:07Menus are basic looking and offer you settings for microphone, sun flare, camera effects, snap or smooth turn, player arms on or off, then height settings and sensitivity.
03:18My thoughts.
03:19I really did enjoy playing this one through.
03:21My first couple attempts I was really weary and I thought, ah, it's too hard.
03:26But once you get into the groove, my god it gets intense.
03:29And those jump scares man, make sure you play with that sound level up to really get the best out of this game.
03:34But I did question a few things like, why do I carry a gun?
03:38But it was good because I ended up shooting at stuff when I was losing my mind which gave away my position.
03:44Then there is, I think, a light in your backpack which seemed to have no value at all.
03:49I did not ever meet an occasion where I needed it.
03:51So this is where I think the map could be improved on by maybe adding a small underground area where you need a lamp for a dark area.
03:59This is the best and most intense horror game I have played on the Quest 3 to date.
04:04And you will get a few great games out of it.
04:06But I worry that once you have a few successes, you won't feel the need to play it anymore.
04:10I think it needs to be a bit more randomised.
04:13The items should appear in different locations.
04:15Have more jump scares and flashes of horror.
04:18But not in every game.
04:19Make them random so each game is unique.
04:21But without doubt, if you are a fan of horror, then this game is an absolute must have.
04:27If you are not a fan of these games, I have also uploaded my successful run of the game.
04:31Though I missed the first two minutes as my camera switched off.
04:34But it's there for you to watch and enjoy.
04:37Or maybe you want to experience the game and want to see what's coming before you try it yourself in VR.
04:42If you have made it to the end of this video, I thank you for giving me your time.
