  • Something Evil is Watching: JanduSoft and Bowl of Tentacles Unveil ‘Order 13 VR’

    Something Evil is Watching: JanduSoft and Bowl of Tentacles Unveil ‘Order 13 VR’

    If you think your day job is stressful, try pulling a night shift in a pitch-black warehouse while a malevolent presence stalks you from the shadows.

    Fresh off the heels of the recent Ruff Talk VR Gaming Showcase, publisher JanduSoft and developer Bowl of Tentacles (the brilliant minds behind Evil Inside VR) have officially joined forces again. Their mission? To take the critically acclaimed flatscreen psychological horror game, Order 13, and transform it into a fully immersive virtual reality nightmare: Order 13 VR.

    Set to launch later this year on Meta Quest 3, PlayStation VR2, and Steam VR, this isn’t just a simple port—it’s a ground-up reimagining of what it means to survive the dark.

    What is Order 13 VR?

    Originally developed as a flatscreen title by Cybernetic Walrus, Order 13 won over thousands of fans with its uniquely terrifying premise. You play as a lonely worker stationed at a remote, massive fulfilment centre. Your shift consists of reviewing incoming orders, venturing deep into the maze-like aisles to retrieve items, and shipping them out to meet tight quotas.

    Oh, and you have exactly two sources of comfort: a flashlight that barely cuts through the gloom, and your loyal pet cat.

    But as the night progresses, the warehouse begins to warp. The shadows grow longer, the noises grow louder, and you quickly realise you are far from alone.

    Built from the Ground Up for Tactile Terror

    Bowl of Tentacles is taking this eerie premise and translating it completely into the natural language of virtual reality. Here is what players can expect when they step onto the warehouse floor:

    • Physical Inventory & Two Hands: Forget magic pockets. In Order 13 VR, you only have two hands. A fully physical inventory system built into your backpack means you have to make harrowing choices on the fly. Do you hold onto your flashlight for dear life, or do you risk dropping it in the pitch-black to carry a valuable package?
    • Hands-On Interactions: Every action is completely physical. You will be scanning barcodes, picking up packages, moving heavy boxes, and physically navigating the terrifying aisles with your own hands.
    • Atmospheric Redesign: The game features a completely overhauled 3D spatial audio system and dynamic lighting built explicitly to induce panic. Every metallic creak in the distance will have you spinning around in real-time.
    • Protect the Feline: Yes, the cat is back! You’ll need to use your hard-earned wages to upgrade your tools and keep your feline companion safe. After all, he’s the only friend you’ve got in this facility.

    “Working together on Evil Inside VR showed us what Bowl of Tentacles is capable of when it comes to reinventing horror. With Order 13 VR, we are taking ordinary warehouse tasks and turning them into breathless moments of pure survival.” — JanduSoft

    Punch Your Clock — Wishlists Are Open Now!

    Whether you’re a VR veteran or looking for the ultimate excuse to finally dust off your headset, Order 13 VR promises to be one of the most tense psychological horror simulators of the year.

    The game is officially slated for release later in 2026. If you think you have the nerves to handle the ultimate night shift, you can already wishlist Order 13 VR right now on Steam, Meta Quest, and PlayStation VR2.

    Just remember: keep your head down, fulfil the quotas, and whatever you do… don’t look directly into the shadows.

  • Descent into Darkness: Evil Inside VR Hits PS VR2 and Meta Quest 3

    Descent into Darkness: Evil Inside VR Hits PS VR2 and Meta Quest 3

    If you’ve been following the indie horror scene, you’ll know that JanduSoft’s psychological thriller Evil Inside made some serious waves back in 2021. But today marks a massive milestone for the developers and their partners at Bowl of Tentacles. After a long and intense development journey, Evil Inside VR has officially launched, bringing its claustrophobic brand of terror to the PlayStation VR2 and Meta Quest 3.

    Check out the launch trailer below to see why you might want to keep the lights on tonight.

    Not Just a Port, But a Reimagining

    Let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t just the original game with a VR camera slapped on top. JanduSoft and the VR specialists at Bowl of Tentacles have spent the last few years rebuilding the experience from the ground up.

    The core story remains—you play as Mark, a teenager trying to contact his deceased mother via a spiritual board—but the way you interact with that world has been completely overhauled.

    What’s New in the VR Version?

    • Redesigned Puzzles: Forget clicking on objects; the puzzles have been built from scratch for natural, tactile VR interaction.
    • Revamped Lighting & Audio: The atmosphere is significantly more oppressive, featuring a new spatial sound system that ensures every floorboard creak sounds like it’s right behind you.
    • Total Immersion: Whether you prefer to play standing or seated, the game has been optimised for the unique haptics of the PS VR2 and the high-fidelity lenses of the Quest 3.

    “Evil Inside VR is a complete reinterpretation designed specifically for the most immersive medium: virtual reality. Everything has been crafted so players truly feel inside the house and experience the horror firsthand.” — JanduSoft

    Face Your Fears

    For those who missed the original, Evil Inside puts you in a shifting, hostile home that acts as much of an adversary as the visions haunting you. By gathering fragments of a spiritual board, you’ll uncover the truth behind a tragic family event—if your nerves can hold out long enough.

    Evil Inside VR is available right now on the Meta Store and the PlayStation Store for £11.99 / $13.99.

    If you’re looking for a fresh reason to dust off your headset and test your heart rate, this is it. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you about the jump scares.

    Are you brave enough to step back into Mark’s house in VR, or is the original still haunting your dreams? Let us know in the comments!
