Duck Hunt Is Back In Virtual Reality With A Dark, Psychopathic Twist
Remember Duck Hunt, the arcade shooter that lived on the same NES cartridge as Super Mario Bros? Well, following a 33-year hiatus, this infamous Nintendo shoot-em-up, which came with an official gun-shaped zapper, is making a virtual-reality come back – with a dark, psychopathic twist.
Duck Season is an updated version of the original, serving as a throwback to the golden age of 1980s gaming, with "a hint of horror in a Spielburgian universe," the description reads.
Its developers, Stress Level Zero, invite players to "re-live" their childhood as they are transported to an eerily familiar memory to play out the "dark story that unfolds."
This coming-of-age tale takes place during the Summer of 1988. Your mom just bought you the hottest new duck-shooting game but after hours of playing, it becomes apparent something is off. It has a Stranger Things kinda vibe, and the dog is suspected to be a "serial killer," Engadget reports.
Within a "realistic" virtual environment, players must complete all the mini games on your "Kingbit Entertainment System" to unlock short films found on various VHS tapes. It has seven unique endings and a wealth of "mysterious" sub plots.
Duck Season will be available on both Steam and the Oculus Rift Store on September 14th.
