- Learn arcane gestures to cast powerful spells: fling missiles, strike your foes with lightning, and conjure flaming boulders from the ground.
- Master a complex ritual magic system based on historical Hermetic magic.
- Delve deep into a fleshed-out game experience - over 15 hours of single-player, VR-exclusive content so far and more to come.
- Become part of a history of human greed and ambition, tragedy, sacrifice in the name of love, and lust for power.
- Fight lethal monsters that will test both your physical skills – duck, dodge, outmanoeuvre – and your mastery of magic.
- Explore eerie landscapes, and interact with other humans – and with stranger creatures still.
- Gather the fallen Husks of your foes to gain power and unlock new abilities.
- Choose whether to explore nooks and crannies of the world to discover secret truths and powers.
- Left-Hand Path is NOT a seated VR experience. In Left-Hand Path you'll gesture to cast spells, squat to avoid an axe larger than your whole body, dodge to let arrows whizz past you, duck to look into secret passages, hook hidden items into view, and more. It's specifically designed for room-scale, and it's room-scale only.
- Left-Hand Path is NOT a short arcade experience. It's a fully-fleshed-out, voice-acted, animated RPG with over 10 hours' play time in Early Access and around 17-20 hours’ total playtime planned.
- Left-Hand Path is NOT easy. To quote my biggest inspiration for the project, Dark Souls, "Prepare To Die". But it's also not unfair. Enemies do have weaknesses, and you have the power of magic itself. You'll find your way.

Early Access Review
Blown away! This is really a fantastic game that uses vr not as gimmick but as a main game mechanic.
Checking your magic book , sitting in a circle and doing your first own Ritual Magic really feels like you are doing it.
I love it!!! I hope it got hours worth of content and a lot of magic spells to collect. The Concept is here- the possebilities are endless. I could even imagine a Duell of mages- where each player has to cast his spells at each other.
Very Nice indeed...

Early Access Review
I have just played 87 min of this game and I just stopped after the first ritual because I want to play the final version and finish it during first weekend it is release. It is great the spell casting, the movement with the staff (if it it close to you goes slower and you dont get sick, and goes faster to run the further from you it is), you can teleport too, you have several paths to explore and some "secrets" , stronger creepy enemies... it's a great game indeed.
Es un juego genial! varios modos de moverte con teleportación o con el bastón, si está cerca de ti va despacito y no te marea y si lo alejas va más rápido , para huir eventualmente, me ha encantado la idea para ir explorando despacio me justa más que teletransportarme. Funcionan muy bien los hechizos, puedes ir por varios caminos, hay secretos de lore escondidos, te puedes meter bajo camas túneles... tiene muy buena pinta y se puede jugar perfectamente en el estado actual. recomendado

Early Access Review So first Hello.
I loaded this Game right after release as I've been waiting a little longer for a Magic game for the Vive. I have Inziswipe the first 2 Worlds through and I would like to draw my first Conclusion here.
The Game is first class for VR experience. You get a Feel for the Fight System and a pointed (creepy) atmosphere is built up. But the Horror is not so extreme. In My Opinion, it's just right for a VR experience. The Story is exciting to what extent my English Skills are enough. However, the Main Focus is clearly on the Fights and the Magic.
The Magic System is not very heavy and has also been well implemented. It makes fun, even if sometimes Spells are not recognized 1 in 1. One Problem is that if the Opponents are too close to one the Sayings no longer hit. But This can be well balanced with Teleportation.
The Graphics are ok and, in my Opinion, are enough.
Conclusion Pro:-Good Spelling System-VR Experience is present-Atmosphere is gripping.
-Much Potential good Support from the Developer-Runs fluently Without larger Bugs Contra: Graphics is not the best-If Enemies get too close, some Spells don't work-some Sayings are not directly Detected.
I would encourage anyone with the Game who can do something with a gloomy atmosphere. Especially since at the Moment it is, in my Opinion, one of the best Titles for VR.
