Otherworldly

Ready for Halloween yet? If not, this years horror game from the Pulse Team—with the ominous title Resting Place—is sure to at least get you in the right mood. Plus, if you keep an eye out, you can collect a lot of awesome prizes from the sponsors and get yourself nicely outfitted for your upcoming costume parties as well.

Ran and I decided to dive into the game as soon as it opened yesterday, bravely exposing ourselves to the horrors of the game as well as the feared lag. However, while we did get logged out a few times, actual movement and gameplay ran just fine. The game is spread out over five sims and features a neat non-linear story design which served to spread out players very nicely.

So, if you fancy a bit of supernatural horror to liven up your evening, then set aside a few hours, darken your room, pick a dark and moody windlight setting and turn up your volume. And when you’re done, make sure to check out the gift shop to give some back to the sponsors of the game. These sort of interactive experiences are really Second Life at its best and the Pulse Team have been getting more and more ambitious each year, making use of whatever new tools SL has to offer. I hope to see—and not the least, experience—many more of their games.
