Oxide Room 208 is a psychological horror game that plunge you into a nightmarish world where eight individuals are imprisoned in a decaying lab-motel hybrid, victims of a twisted experiment led by the sadistic Doc. As Eva, the chosen host, loses her grip on reality, the environment morphs into a grotesque landscape of madness and unethical science. To survive, you must uncover dark secrets and find the elusive door 208 to escape.

Featuring a cast of nine diverse characters modeled after real actors through cutting-edge motion and facial capture, the game blurs the line between ally and threat. From a cannibal hiker to horror streamers, each character hides sinister motives—and death isn’t always the end, as fallen characters can return as terrifying “revenants.” With chilling body horror, hidden agendas, and playable musicians like Samael Tselios (ANBR) and Carlos Escobedo (Sôber), Oxide Room 208 delivers an intense and unpredictable horror experience.

Beyond the Door: Environments Teeming with Terror and Strategic Choices

In Oxide Room 208, you will traverse seven distinct, atmospheric environments. The narrative attributes the “organic” quality of these spaces to group leader Eva’s deteriorating mental state, suggesting that the environments themselves are direct manifestations of the story’s primary conflict. This is designed to deepen your immersion and the sensation of confinement inside a dynamic nightmare. Each location has interactive components, providing you with opportunities to develop survival strategies. Select alternate routes to evade perilous encounters, or seek out the armory for a more offensive approach.

Survive the Visceral: Gameplay, Immersion, and the Fight for Destiny

We positioned this game as an “immersive survival experience,” prioritising realistic interactions with its environment. You are tasked with managing weapons and resources realistically, aiming to foster a tangible sense of involvement in gameplay. A notable feature is the “immersive dual perspective,” which enables seamless transitions between a detailed first-person view and a broader third-person perspective. This mechanism is intended to deliver a highly intense player experience, further complemented by an integrated photo mode.

The ability to alternate perspectives provides you with unique control over your engagement with the game’s suspenseful elements. The first-person mode enhances immersion and claustrophobia, heightening direct encounters with the game’s threats. In contrast, the third-person view affords expanded situational awareness, facilitating strategic planning and offering a more comprehensive overview of the environment and its dangers. This interplay between immediacy and tactical observation enables diverse forms of player interaction, enriching the overall intensity of the experience.

Survival depends on navigating hazardous environments, making critical choices to evade threats, or, when appropriate, accessing the armory to engage in combat. The ongoing danger posed by revenants—transformed characters that must be avoided—introduces additional complexity to the survival framework.

Dare to Cross the Threshold?

Oxide Room 208 is not for the faint of heart. We describe it as a “meat grinder,” an “intense, visceral, and unforgiving” experience designed for those who possess no fear of being consumed by darkness. This game is poised to attract a specific segment of the horror gaming audience—those who actively seek extreme, challenging, and psychologically demanding experiences, rather than casual encounters.

By explicitly highlighting the game’s brutal and uncompromising nature, Oxide Room 208 sets clear expectations, ensuring that its target audience is precisely those who will appreciate and seek out this profound level of visceral body horror. If you believe you possess what it takes to confront humanity’s worst, to stare into the abyss without blinking, and to delve into a brutally honest storyline, then this challenge is for you. The ultimate question remains: will you step through Door 208?
