Anyone know if this exists?

A reminder: My friend Viga is still trying to raise money for college. You can get art for helping! Details here, donation site here.

Are there any augmented reality survival horror games? Because that seems like it could be both terrifying and a lot of fun, if done right. (Which, given the history of the genre, it probably wouldn't be until the tenth or twelfth time, but still.)

  1. There's an exercise app (https://www.zombiesrungame.com/) that has various challenges and workouts based on the idea of fighting a zombie invasion. I think it even has a storyline.

    Not augmented reality, but the zombie runs (http://zombierun.com/) kind of qualify as games. Although they're probably more LARPing for athletes, even if most of the people who participate would never think of themselves as such.

    1. You mean like how fantasy football is basically an RPG for jocks?

  2. There are a couple of 3DS games that claim to be augmented reality horror games where you use the 3DS camera to find ghosts. Every one I've looking into has had terrible reviews, though.

    1. Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think it would be REALLY HARD to do well. The biggest problem is the lack of atmosphere in most people's houses...
