Haunted is a social horror experience designed to bring frights and memorable moments to groups looking for an adrenaline rush

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zero Latency VR, the undisputed leader in immersive entertainment and the mastermind behind the largest true location-based free-roam VR network in the world, has announced the launch of HAUNTED, its first fully immersive horror experience – and its most atmospheric title to date.

Set inside a mysterious, shifting house that seems to live and breathe, HAUNTED offers players an intense, cinematic horror experience. Featuring wireless, warehouse-scale gameplay, 5K visuals, and responsive spatial audio, the title places up to eight players inside a psychologically unsettling narrative where survival is never guaranteed.

“This is an experience that lingers,” said Tim Ruse, CEO of Zero Latency VR. “HAUNTED is a deeply immersive, sensory-rich story designed to stay with players long after they leave the arena. It taps into fear in unexpected ways. Sometimes it’s loud and chaotic. Sometimes it’s quiet and intimate. Either way, brave participants come out of it talking, laughing, and often, a little shaken.”

Built with a focus on environmental storytelling and emotional intensity, HAUNTED invites players to explore a space where shadows move, rooms distort, and the house itself becomes the enemy. Group dynamics are tested as players are drawn apart, guided by whispers, laughter, and a presence that always seems one step ahead.

HAUNTED expands Zero Latency’s genre offering, adding a bold new dimension to its growing catalog of free-roam VR experiences. The title will be available at Zero Latency venues worldwide beginning October 3.

Something horrifying is here. You are not safe. You need to get out. RUN.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zero Latency VR, the undisputed leader in immersive entertainment and the mastermind behind the largest true location-based free-roam VR network in the world, has announced the launch of HAUNTED, its first fully immersive horror experience – and its most atmospheric title to date.

Darkness has a new address, and Zero Latency VR has just given you the keys. In HAUNTED, the house has been waiting, patient and still, for someone foolish enough to open the door. Tonight, it got what it wanted.

Open your eyes. How did you get here? You may never leave. The air is thick here; the floor unsteady, the sound of something moving just out of sight.

No one knows who built the house in HAUNTED, or why it remains there. Some say it wasn’t built at all; it simply appeared. And now it’s waiting for you and your friends.

The house hears you, even when you’re silent. Sometimes it laughs. Sometimes it breathes. Always, it wants you alone.

Step carefully. In HAUNTED, friends blur into strangers, corridors lengthen, and shadows whisper in voices you almost recognise. Stay together if you can… but the house prefers you apart.

The experience is simple: survive. But this isn’t just an experience. It’s a full-body VR horror movie where you and your friends are the main characters. Fully immersive, no cables, no backpacks – only fear and whatever courage you have left.

Arena-scale, 5K visuals and spatial sound bring the nightmare to life. Loud noises echo through the night. A whisper brushes your neck. Your heartbeat is the only rhythm you hear… and it’s far too loud.

Your mission is to stay alive. But no one does. Not really.

“This isn’t an attraction. It’s an infection,” said Tim Ruse, CEO at Zero Latency VR. “You wake up inside HAUNTED, and it takes something from you. We designed it to scare you, yes – but sometimes it scares us too. If you make it out, don’t look back. It hates that.”

HAUNTED is the latest free-roam VR experience from Zero Latency VR, the world leader in immersive, mind-blowing adventures. It’s available this spooky season, and it’s waiting in an arena near you. The only question is: will you escape?

No one gets out alive. HAUNTED launches on October 3 at Zero Latency VR venues worldwide. Book now – if you dare – at https://booking.zerolatencyvr.com/.

AI Co-Founder for startups now tackles the No. 1 challenge facing founders worldwide—with more agents powered by long-term memory to come for GTM, hiring, and product management.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tanka, the AI-native operating platform for startup founders, today announces the launch of its Fundraising Agent—a purpose-built AI solution designed to help early-stage companies tackle their number one challenge: raising capital. This release marks the debut of Tanka’s agent strategy, with additional agents for GTM, hiring, and product management on the roadmap, all accessible through the upcoming Agent Store.

Addressing the Biggest Startup Challenge: Fundraising

According to Mercury’s 2025 U.S. survey, nearly one in four entrepreneurs cite access to funding as the single biggest factor limiting their growth. The picture is no easier in Europe — Slush’s 2025 Startup Struggle Survey found that almost six in ten European founders ranked fundraising as their number one challenge.

Tanka’s Fundraising Agent transforms fundraising from an uphill grind into a structured, accelerated journey. Unlike generic AI tools, Tanka’s agent leverages the platform’s core innovation: unlimited, long-term memory powered by EverMemOS. By analyzing chat threads, decisions, and documents across tools like Slack, Gmail, and Notion, Tanka builds a living knowledge base that evolves with each founder’s journey.

With this context, founders can draft and refine business plans, create investor decks, review pitch materials, practice with AI-driven mock investor interviews, and request introductions to nearly 100 top-tier venture capital firms through Tanka’s partnership with GRAB Ventures. These features are available today, with more on the way as Tanka’s agent ecosystem continues to grow rapidly.

“Fundraising is the single hardest and most time-consuming job for founders, especially today,” said Kisson Lin, CEO of Tanka. “With the Fundraising Agent, we’re not just automating tasks, we’re giving founders the co-founder they’ve always wanted—one that never forgets, never sleeps, and is laser-focused on helping them succeed.”

A Platform for Vertical Agents, Powered by Memory-Native AI

Tanka isn’t just another messenger or productivity app. It’s a platform where agent capabilities across chat, output, and fundraising are powered by the same memory-driven intelligence. Fundraising Agent is just the beginning of a series of vertical agents coming soon—including GTM, hiring, and product agents—each of which is designed to solve the most pressing challenges for startup teams.

All agents are powered by Tanka’s memory-native AI engine, which combines retrieval-augmented generation, knowledge graphs, and state-of-the-art language models. Unlike most AI tools limited by a short “context window,” Tanka’s EverMemOS provides persistent, evolving memory that captures, organizes, and retrieves key conversations, decisions, and documents over months and years—so nothing important is ever forgotten.

With Tanka, teams can onboard new hires with instant knowledge transfer, generate landing pages and presentations, and iterate project plans in depth—all with context-rich, AI-powered support. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and is never used for model training or shared across organizations, ensuring founders retain full control and privacy for their most valuable company knowledge.

About Tanka

Tanka is the world’s first agent platform with AI long-term memory, designed for startup founders and fast-moving teams. Inspired by decades of neuroscience research, Tanka learns from your business context, past conversations, and connected apps to deliver fast, precise, and context-rich AI assistance—right where you work.
