The free-to-play surprise Halloween present pulls players back to the Northbury Grove universe
SEATTLE – Oct. 16, 2023 – Publisher tinyBuild and developer Scythe Dev Team, the forces behind Happy Humble’s Burger Farm, today reveal the horrifically blood-pumping immersive VR experience, Return to Northbury Grove, available now on Steam for free.
Explore the interconnected Northbury Grove universe through the eyes of Liam Murphy, an aspiring actor determined to land the role of a lifetime at the infamous Rock the Warehouse (RTW) music festival. It’s audition day on the RTW concert grounds, the air is chilly, and the arena is desolate. Liam’s bad feeling turns into a real nightmare as the Spector Forest Slasher kidnaps him and throws him into the basement of his labyrinthian kill house.
Coming off of the success of Happy Humble’s Burger Farm, Scythe and tinyBuild team up once again to deliver a haunting, off-the-wall VR horror experience accessible to all with Return to Northbury Grove. Experience tactile, fully physics-based gameplay, chilling spatial audio, unpredictable and adaptable AI, as well as a bone-chilling atmosphere reminiscent of classic slasher-horror movies.
