About Dark Trip
Dark Trip is a indie psychedelic escape room where a detective eats pills to solve puzzles and relies on own hallucinations to investigate an eerie crime case.
Enter the surreal horror! Welcome to one of the most unique and bizarre VR experiences, where you take on the role of an investigator searching for a missing woman — and are forced to consume drugs during your mission. The boundaries between reality, virtuality, and hallucinations dissolve, immersing you in a Lovecraftian nightmare when in a small German town, the only daughter of a retired businessman vanishes without a trace. Hired to investigate the case, the player discovers a seemingly abandoned laboratory. As you explore room after room, you uncover evidence of twisted experiments, scattered notebooks of employees, and disturbing accounts from test subjects. The gameplay revolves around solving intricate puzzles while piecing together the unsettling truth of the past.
Experience mind-bending psychedelic trips that distort perception and twist your surroundings!
On July 2025 Dark Trip launched a controversial collab with AI-powered VR Therapy Tool
This summer iTales VR, creators of the cult hit Dark Trip, teamed up with EvaAI — a groundbreaking AI therapy tool in VR — and the AR/VR advertising platform LikaTwo to launch a controversial cross-promotion campaign:

Through the LikaTwo platform, these two very opposite VR experiences had become connected by interactive in-app menus and banners that guide users between the apps, creating a seamless and innovative cross-promotional journey. The campaign was held on SideQuest and Meta Store. Disclaimer: EvaAI is not a substitute for professional healthcare, and users are encouraged to seek licensed providers for medical needs.
Dark Trip Secured Presence on Steam After Bureaucratic Nightmare
After more than two months of bureaucratic back-and-forth with Steam’s review team, in the end of March 2025 Dark Trip finally secured its presence on the Steam platform. Despite the page being merely a "Coming Soon" listing, Steam reviewers insisted on a full demo build due to the game's psychedelic narrative involving Nazi themes. Without a complete build for review, Steam refused to approve the page’s publication. The most absurd hurdle came when Steam demanded that iTales VR upload the build via SteamPipe – only for SteamPipe to malfunction until the page was first approved. This created a frustrating catch-22, which the developers ultimately circumvented by packaging the build into a password-protected archive and sending it via Google Drive to Steam’s review team.
