I played through Dear Esther in a single session in VR. It was a magnificent walk.

I couldn't keep interested in Dear Esther, but Korsakovia, by the same folks, is a tremendous experience. (Also may bring modern computers to their knees because of some bad technical choices, but having everything go choppy and weird when you're under terrifying stress is not a bad side effect.)

I am beyond excited to get a chance to try that. When I first saw the Oculus, these types of games were the first thing that came to my mind.
