Our take on Them - The Summoning
The focus on investigation, hidden-object searches, and puzzles leaves little room for combat or broader action systems. Its paranormal mystery structure keeps the experience centered on following clues and solving set challenges rather than offering varied play styles.
What is Them - The Summoning?
Investigate the suspicious death of a longtime friend while being blamed for two murders.
The story follows a race to identify the true killer, clear the protagonist’s name, and uncover a paranormal world beyond ordinary reality. Gameplay combines hidden-object scenes, clue-finding, puzzles, and surreal mini-games across detailed environments. A ghostly spectre acts as an ally during the investigation, while a persistent investigator pursues the protagonist. The adventure also includes an orchestrated soundtrack and a storyline involving visions of a deceased wife, concealed truths, and questions about the protagonist’s past. Progress centers on examining scenes, solving challenges, and following clues toward the source of the deaths.
