A downloadable experience

Welcome New Recruit!

Enticed with the promise of a six month, non-paid Internship you have been tasked to enter a facility that was recently abandoned after mysteriously being overgrown with monstrous plants.

Fast-Paced Horror

Fright_Beat is an emergent horror game that reads the player's Heart Rate to alter gameplay elements. This data is used to control the game mechanics and horror elements to deliver a unique experience of Dread and Paranoia. 

Be sure to control your nerves as you evade the beast which has made a nest of the facility, extract the test data and get out of there before you're its next meal!


Heart-Rate Integration

This game makes use of the Pulsoid API to connect a Heart Rate Monitor to the Unreal Engine Game, so to play this game you will need a suitable Heart Rate Monitor and a subscription to the Pulsoid BRO Plan. From here you can input the Authorisation Token needed to authenticate the Game and allow for the data to be passed.

This game works both with and without the Heart Rate Monitor so you can still experience the core gameplay without the Heart Rate Controls, although connecting a Heart Rate Monitor is always recommended for the scariest experience!


Controls

Using a Gamepad is highly recommended for this experience as this game makes use of the Rumble Features of an Xbox Controller, Fright_Beat does also support Keyboard & Mouse Controls.
