Our take on Uncanny Valley
The store emphasis on dread and action can suggest a combat-led horror game, but the described structure gives substantial space to exploration, puzzles, optional story material, and consequences that persist after failure.
What is Uncanny Valley?
Uncanny Valley is a survival horror game set in a remote facility, where Tom works as a night-shift security guard.
Exploration leads him to uncover events that drive the story, while puzzle solving and occasional action shape the play. The facility spans several floors and buildings, providing the main setting for investigation. A consequence system carries failures forward instead of simply restarting the same section: mistakes can affect the story and change gameplay, such as reducing Tom’s movement speed after an unsuccessful escape. Some errors can result in death, while other failures leave lasting disadvantages. Optional story content adds material beyond the central narrative, with character-focused details and events that may be missed.
