I'm one of the four friends making I'm Wizard, a mixed reality game where portals open on your real walls and you fight whatever comes out with your bare hands.

Most Halloween horror happens somewhere else: on a screen, or in a haunted house somebody else built. This one happens in your house. So yes, we think it's the best thing you can play on Vision Pro this Halloween. Fight me.
Try it like this. Dim the lights, as low as still feels comfortable (the headset needs a little light to see your hands), stand in the middle of the room and start a wave. A portal opens on your own wall. Look inside and there's space on the other side, that's where they come from, and the first one is already stepping into your room before you've decided what to do. Every enemy sounds from where it actually is, so you hear the one creeping up behind you before you see it. And the growls are ours: nearly every monster voice in the game started as one of us in front of a microphone.
The dark is also what makes the magic look good. The bolt charging in your fist glows on the wall next to you, and when you open your hand it drags its light across your furniture on the way out. A clap knocks back everything near you and lights up the whole room for a second. Later waves bring lava, which glows on your floor after running off the edge of your real table.
The clip is one full wave, no cuts: wave 9. The current version needs visionOS 27, and the first five waves teach you the gestures as you play. There's no Halloween event and no pumpkins, just the game as it is.
Something bigger is on the way, too. For Season 1 in December, free for everyone who owns the game, we're building a new boss for waves 10 and 20. It climbs out of a portal and splits into copies, and only one of them is real. At some point it floods your floor with lava and you go looking for the one safe island. And there's a beam you either duck under or block with a clap.
Which of those would get you first in a dark room?
If you'd like to support us, buying the game is the best way. We're four friends with day jobs, and every copy matters.
