Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking fast action may bounce off the investigation, conversations, and puzzle-solving structure.
- Players who prefer a fixed story may hit a wall when relationship choices alter puzzles, locations, and progression.
- Players looking for realistic or contemporary visuals may not connect with the stylized pixel-art presentation.
Our take on Unusual Findings
The bounce point arrives when relationship choices start changing the puzzle logic and story route. Players who expect one stable sequence of solutions may find the shifting interactions between the three friends difficult to follow.
What is Unusual Findings?
Investigate an alien invasion in an 1980s town as Vinny, Nick, and Tony, three friends who discover a crashed spaceship while using a cable-signal descrambler.
Explore locations including a video store, arcade, comic shop, and punk hideout while gathering clues and meeting local characters. Use See, Grab, and Talk actions, then combine inventory items to solve puzzles. Choices affect the friends’ relationships, which in turn change puzzle solutions, visited locations, answers, progression, and the wider story. The game presents a science-fiction coming-of-age narrative with pixel art, synthwave music, and references to 1980s films, games, stores, and technology.
