About the Game

A quiet rainy night in your remote mobile home was supposed to be peaceful.
But when distant sirens begin echoing across the countryside, something feels terribly wrong.

Grabbing your old VHS camcorder to document what’s happening, you begin recording the strange events unfolding outside your windows and inside your home.

Gameplay

The Unfamiliars is a first person atmospheric horror experience presented through a VHS camcorder perspective.

Players explore a small isolated mobile home while documenting strange and unsettling events unfolding outside during a rainy night.

Watch the darkness outside, investigate strange sounds within the home, and experience a night that becomes increasingly disturbing.

Uncover a story of guilt, loss, and grief, where fear takes shape, memories refuse to stay buried, and the past is always waiting in the dark.
