How it feels
A seated, atmospheric VR journey that feels like being enveloped in a dark, introspective theater piece where you observe rather than control

What players say
Players describe Chained as a VR-only animated take on A Christmas Carol that lasts about 20 minutes and is more a theatrical monologue than a game. Many report crashes at the same scene and poor performance even on strong hardware, while others note the visuals are too dark to make out details and the experience lacks subtitles or any settings menu.
