00:00 "Stay calm. Look sharp. Keep silent. Slower. Gently."
00:25 In Silent Slayer, you take on the role of a vampire hunter, infiltrating a castle filled
00:30 with evil vampires. Your goal is to carefully disarm the traps so you can slay them in their
00:38 sleep.
00:39 "When players first play in Silent Slayer, they will find themselves in a gloomy, creepy,
00:46 and evil, but also incredibly gorgeous place called the Castle Tsar."
00:51 "There are empty libraries. There are haunted hallways."
00:57 "These vampires wrote and engraved their magic spells in vampiric alphabets all over the
01:03 castle and also on most of their defensive traps. So, a coffin for the vampire, they
01:09 can really tell the status and aesthetic preferences of whoever sleeps in there."
01:15 Silent Slayer is a game of you directly in front of a vampire. Thanks to the immersion
01:21 of being in VR, you are alone in the castle, and it's just you and a vampire who might
01:27 eat you.
01:28 "Imagine a creature with bloody red eyes and sharp teeth jumping out of the darkness
01:33 to attack you."
01:40 The key aspects of the experience of Silent Slayer are discovery, tension, and overcoming
01:48 obstacles.
01:49 "Players will face a variety of traps, so you need to be precise and quiet, and any
01:56 wrong move and you might regret it."
01:59 So at first you may see some trip wires, and you'll have to learn to carefully position
02:03 your snips to get through those wires.
02:06 "While disarming traps, sound is used to warn a player to tell them how well they're
02:13 doing."
02:14 "The watchful idol is a doll that watches the player, and if the player moves, the doll
02:22 will start to scream just to tell the player, 'You messed up.'"
02:27 "Stop moving!"
02:35 Each chapter of Silent Slayer is broken into two halves. The first half is time with the
02:41 book preparing for the coffin ahead.
02:44 "First, there are also bindstones that the player must assemble, kind of like a big 3D
02:52 jigsaw puzzle. Certain traps require the use of certain tools, so the player really needs
02:58 to understand which tool goes to which trap."
03:02 In order to get to the vampire, the player must first find their heart. There is a tool
03:09 that we refer to as the heart tool that players use to locate a vampire's heart wherever
03:15 it may be in their chest.
03:19 Then they perform the binding ritual to unlock the last magical barrier of defense that's
03:27 keeping them from killing this vampire, and also bind that vampire in place. And so we
03:34 want players to feel scared, we want them to feel the tension of those moments, but
03:40 ultimately we want them to feel accomplished when they finally succeed in their goal and
03:46 slay the vampires of the castle.
