The Exorcist: Legion VR Experience Details: "The Exorcist: Legion VR is a fully interactive, episodic story set in the world created by horror maestro, author, and Academy Award-winning screenwriter William Peter Blatty (The Exorcist, The Exorcist III).
Players delve deep into the heart of the supernatural and learn the trade of demonic exorcism while uncovering secrets that lead to a final confrontation with their darkest, most hidden fears. The Exorcist: Legion VR is a part investigation, part exorcism... and all horror told through five hair-raising chapters.
Following is a summary of Chapters 1 – 5:
Chapter 1 – First Rites: A place of worship covered in blood, a notebook filled with writings of demonic possession and the ‘ritualistic murder’ of a priest. Will you answer the call to investigate?
Chapter 2 – Idle Hands: Your task is to visit Lucie Moss, a mentally ill school teacher whose dangerous flirtations with the occult exposed her to a malicious entity intent on twisting her mind and devouring her soul.
Chapter 3 – Skin Deep: A wave of infant mortality has struck and a number of distraught parents have posted online, claiming to have heard the sound of an old woman calming the cries of their babies in the weeks before.
Chapter 4 – Samaritan: A failed quarantine zone in Haiti has been racked by an unknown plague, and a slew of health worker deaths has led to the collapse of efforts to control the mounting victim toll. What (or who) lies at the heart of the epidemic is for you to uncover!
Chapter 5 – The Tomb: In this grand finale, players are transported deep into the mountains of Upper Mesopotamia to face the demon Pazuzu where one last confrontation will put everything they have learned to the test.
Key Features:
● Episodic Storyline Delivered in 5 Chapters – The Exorcist: Legion VR features 5 chapters that players can experience in 30-45 minute sessions, allowing them to complete a full exorcism and uncover a valuable piece of a much bigger narrative in one session.
o Replay each chapter for additional secrets, achievements, and performance; and locate a variety of Easter eggs.
● Diverse Demonic Bosses – Each chapter features a new demonic entity that can only be defeated with a unique strategy and the right weapon.
● Horrific Story Brought to Life in VR – VR immerses players in realistic, sinister and completely highly-detailed environments where they must discover story clues, collect weapons, solve challenging puzzles, battle demonic forces and piece together a mystery that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
● Authentic Exorcism Tools - Find and use trademark exorcism tools from Holy Water to Crosses, each with powerful upgrade options, as well as hidden “artifacts” that will aid you on your quest.

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
