Overview

Dark Trip is a gothic horror escape room adventure that plunges you into a world of occult art, strange machines, and hallucination-fueled investigation. Developed and published by iWorlds, this title blends adventure, simulation, and puzzle elements with a heavy dose of psychedelic dread.

Released on October 29, 2026, it supports both desktop play and VR, letting you choose your preferred perspective for the same twisted journey.

The game's core hook is its use of altered visions: your protagonist must consume pills of unknown origin to reveal objects that are otherwise invisible. This mechanic ties directly into the narrative, blurring the line between reality and nightmare as you piece together the story behind an eerie crime.

Highlights

  • VR and Desktop Modes: Experience the same unsettling environments in either traditional screen-based play or fully immersive VR, with tracked controller support.
  • Occult Investigation: Search every corner of disturbingly detailed rooms filled with cryptic symbols, hidden mechanisms, and bizarre laboratory devices.
  • Hallucination-Based Puzzles: Consume mysterious pills to shift your perception and uncover clues that exist only in altered states.

Who It's For

Dark Trip is ideal for players who enjoy slow-burn horror, escape room logic, and narrative-driven mysteries. If you're a fan of Lovecraftian themes, psychedelic visuals, or detective-style deduction, this game will likely resonate.

The VR mode adds an extra layer of immersion for those with a headset, but the desktop version offers the same experience for those who prefer a traditional setup.
