Uncanny Valley is a survival horror game being made by Cowardly Creations. According to their blog, their goal is to make a game true to the survival horror genre, as opposed to simply mislabeling an action game as so. It's expected to be released later this year.
"You play as Tom, a newly recruited security guard at a remote, closed down facility. There are only two people there, him and another security guard, sharing the shifts between night and day. Soon, our main character starts exploring the abandoned facility only to discover some very interesting things."
This is your coworker, Buck. You don't work alone, but this guy will make you wish you did.
Sounds pretty interesting. However, upon trying to ask for more information, Tadej Kupčič (the head guy at Cowardly Creations) said:
"I would love to share more information with you, but the story plays a huge part in the game. You can mention something we'll announce soon - some kind of a consequence system. Horror games usually punish you with deaths when you fail at something, which leads to frustration and that's not scary. So we decided to implement a system that lets you forward the game and the story adapts to your actions (you can still die at some occasions though)."
Pretty vague, but I think that's the fun behind it. People go crazy about not knowing things.
A few key features of the game include:
- A huge explorable facility with multiple floors and buildings
- Detailed backstory with rich characters
- Intense moments of dread
Needless to say, I'm looking forward to what will come of this.
You can look at their blog and follow up with information as they release it on their tumblr. Thanks for reading!
