About the Game

Strange Encounter puts you in the shoes of a ufology enthusiast and takes you to the Swiss Alps to investigate strange UFO sightings that have been reported in the region recently. Talk to people and search the area where the observations were made in order to shed light on this case.

Strange Encounter takes place in real time, don’t take too long to solve the mystery: night will be falling soon.
This game tries to offer an original concept in the sense that -contrarily to most other games these days- it contains no violence.

Key Points:

  • An original scenario full of mysteries.
  • Total play time: between 45 minutes to an hour.
  • 2 different endings depending on the choices you make.
  • Several characters to meet and talk too.
  • Several tasks to perform that can help you in your investigation.
  • Several Steam achievements to unlock.
  • No DRM, supports 4K resolutions, compatible with QWERTY, AZERTY keyboard and Gamepad.

This is my first game developed with Unreal Engine 4. Feel free to contact me via the game's community hub if you have any comments or suggestions because I am very interested in your feedback! I hope you will enjoy it. I made this game on my spare time, over the course of several months.
