You wake up and find yourself in a dark forest in the middle of the night. You walk around looking for someone, with only the light of a few lamp posts to guide your way. You come across a small cabin that's lit from within. As you walk up to the door, you see a figure standing inside. It's a little girl, and it looks like she's been waiting for you.

Creeped out yet? Sure, it's one thing to read about this chilling scenario, but imagine experiencing it in a virtual world. That's the premise of the ultra-eerie Oculus Rift game Alone in the Rift .
