The horror of alien abduction is reminiscent of the X-Files and the Sign -apkrig

We certainly cannot complain about the lack of horror games in recent years. But many of them come with very similar motifs and themes. The novelty Are Are Here is perhaps from a slightly different dough, because its subject is the abduction of aliens. We’ll head to Grayswood Farm and be armed only with a flashlight and a camera. Our task is to take photos of visitors from another world and get evidence of their existence.

We are attracted by an inexplicable phenomenon described by a local family. The Shermans watched the bright lights move rapidly across the sky above the cornfield. She changed direction and speed and eventually disappeared. The family observed the same phenomenon at the same time for five consecutive nights. According to the farm owner, the animals went crazy and their dog was aggressive. He attacked him and bit him. The children complained that someone was walking under their windows, and farmer Peter Sherman himself saw a strange figure in the field who did not look human.

In addition to the series X-Files, at least the trailer evokes a lot of the film The Sign from 2002 by M. Night Shyamalan.

Whether it’s a scam, an attempt to provoke a sensation, or a fact, must be revealed by journalist Taylor Fox, who travels here for a report for a local newspaper. Of course, we have a lot of research, searching the farm and finding the truth, which is definitely out there somewhere. And if you don’t have enough of these paranormal phenomena, the fact is that, in addition to the X-Files series, at least the trailer evokes a lot, especially the film The Sign from 2002 by M. Night Shyamalan.

After all, the author, who collaborates with his wife on the play, is proud of this inspiration. They are said to be big fans of horror and sci-fi, especially films about aliens, and they have also been influenced by films such as Dark Sky or War of the Worlds. However, when they searched for similar games, they found almost no good ones, according to their words, even though it is an extremely interesting topic. That’s why they started working on their own title in the style of the Sign.

They also do not avoid the fact that they sometimes quote from the originals quite literally. They are deliberately using some clichés to evoke a nostalgic mood – cornfields, implants behind the ear, gray aliens and so on. Even players are said to confirm that there are far fewer such titles than movies.

If you are interested in the game, you don’t have to just watch the trailer and view screenshots. There is also a demo version outside, which has a content of about 10 minutes. You can find her on Steam. The full version should be released on PC early next year.
