Uncanny Tales: 1992

Uncanny Tales: 1992 is the second episode of Uncanny Tales, an episodic horror game about frightening situations caused by people rather than monsters or the supernatural. Set in the USSR in autumn 1992, it follows 14-year-old Anton after he moves with his parents to a small provincial town. His parents soon leave on business, leaving him alone in his grandmother’s old apartment.

Story

More than ten children have gone missing from the town over the past few months. Schools are closed, streets are deserted, and the police are powerless. Residents are afraid to let their children outside, but the disappearances continue.

As Anton adjusts to the unfamiliar home and empty streets, he notices rustling behind the walls, a gaze in the darkness and unsettling encounters. He must piece together what is happening as it becomes harder to tell who can be trusted and who the real threat is.

Explore and investigate

You talk with characters, observe their behavior and gather information. Almost every item in the environment can be examined, rotated or used, so paying attention to your surroundings helps you investigate.

A town in 1992

The game recreates post-Soviet life in autumn 1992, from its interiors to the gloomy streets. Suspense builds gradually, with an atmosphere of anxiety and the sense that someone may be nearby even when no one is there.
