Purgation: A ceremonial cleansing from defilement or uncleanness by the performance of appropriate rites. SYNOPSIS You awake gradually. You are in a dark cell. You are drifting in and out of consciousness between bouts of violent hallucinations. You are physically weak and have no memory of who you are or why you are here. You are scared, very scared. The voices in your head tell you that you should be. And you have a feeling, a very bad feeling that you are not alone. THE GAME Purgation is a survival horror experience where your only hope of escape lies in discovering and confronting your past… if you can survive long enough. Escape your cell to wander around an abandoned mansion and learn more about yourself but you are not alone and you are too weak to fight. Your only options are running and hiding to survive. Dive into a fully immersive VR horror experience as you embark on a journey to discover the truth about yourself, about who are you and why you have woken up drugged and alone in a dark prison cell during a power outage. Are you brave enough to leave your cell and explore the basement environment of the abandoned mansion by torchlight to discover clues about your past and a means to escape. Investigate why you are hearing the voices and screams of familiar people during bouts of hallucinations. Discover who was it put you here and why.
