As sport director Alejandro Arque Galladro explains within the walkthrough, Switchback VR places gamers on the bottom after a practice crash, barely nonetheless alive. On this in-between state, they get tucked right into a terrifying imaginative and prescient by a demoness making an attempt to complete the job and yank them to hell. Many of the nightmare happens on a seemingly endless, rusted rollercoaster experience flanked by Darkish Footage monsters and waxy mannequins that transfer as your eyes do.
