About Uncanny Tales: The Watcher
Uncanny Tales: The Watcher is the third episode in Uncanny Tales, an episodic horror series about frightening human behavior and real-life fears. You play a new reserve caretaker in the Altai wilderness, seeking quiet and income. Though local residents and reserve workers speak of unexplained anomalies in the taiga, authorities dismiss the incidents as accidents. You soon discover that the apparent peace is an illusion.
The prologue
Before starting your duties, you experience the last working day of your predecessor and carry out their usual routine tasks. Their experience shows how ordinary work turns terrifying.
Caretaking duties
Your job demands close attention and strict adherence to daily obligations. You use an old computer in the control center to monitor the reserve’s perimeter and complete reports, and drive a Soviet-era UAZ off-roader to patrol the vast location in the deep woods. You can communicate with a colleague by radio, your only line of support.
You also regularly inspect phototraps placed to monitor wild animals, where you may find something that should not have been captured.
The setting
The game evokes the Russian heartland in the early 2000s through primitive technology, nostalgia and the oppressive isolation of the wilderness.
