Before seeing the Child`s Play reboot movie in theaters, get ready to step into the world of the film and be terrorized by Chucky himself, in a new virtual reality experience. Child`s Play VR launches on June 12 and traps users in Zedmart--a store featured heavily in the film--after dark, as a demented Chucky doll roams the aisles looking for his next victim.`From the beginning of this partnership with Orion, the goal with Child`s Play VR was to bring part of this insanely fun and creepy movie to life in a way that has never been done before,` Child`s Play VR director Dan Clifton, founder of branded content company Top Right Corner, explained in a press release. `After getting an early look at the script and some of the dailies, the idea was always primal: put the audience on Chucky`s home turf in a place where they will be uncomfortable. In the film, that`s represented by Zedmart, a discount catch-all everything store where much of the action takes place.`According to Clifton, the Zedmart the experience is set in is a replica of the one seen in the film, `down to the millimeter.` To further drop users into the world of the movie, elements of the film`s new score from Bear McCreary have also been added to the game.This first release of Child`s Play VR is an `on the rails` experience, with a set path through the Zedmart, though users will have a 360-degree point of view. However, Clifton hinted that there could be an even bigger experience coming eventually. `There`s also a version where in the future we take the entire Zedmart store and allow users to walk around and interact with each item, even a mischievous small doll trying to attack you,` he teased.Child`s Play VR is compatible with the devices below and will be available for you to play on June 12.
