As the world (well some of it) begins to get obsessed with the strange unidentified drone sightings over cities, airbases, and nuclear installations, I am keeping my eyes firmly down. I have enough on my plate dealing with waiting for Civ VII to come out, without the concern about getting probed for my innate knowledge of Call of Duty and Satisfactory.
Whatever the strange drone lights are, and we will likely never know, that is probably preferable to them turning out to be the bad guys in Deklazon and Pqube’s new ET-’em-up They Are Here.
Deklazon is being billed as a “mysterious solo creator’ as if this game wasn’t creepy enough.
“Working with DEKLAZON to bring They Are Here to life feels like uncovering one of the biggest conspiracies in gaming,” said Tyrone Walcott, Product Group Manager at PQube. “This isn’t just a game—it’s an unflinching dive into the unknown. We can’t wait for players to experience the eerie brilliance DEKLAZON has created.”
“They Are Here drags players into the role of a journalist assigned to uncover the truth behind eerie disturbances at a secluded rural farmhouse. What begins as a routine assignment quickly unravels into a nightmare of cosmic proportions. Shadowy figures, strange lights, and inexplicable phenomena are just the beginning. Immerse in an otherworldly conspiracy where survival hinges on exposing the truth lurking just beyond the edges of human understanding.”
The game itself is set in 2005 at a (creepy) old farm house that is experiencing (creepy) lights and (creepy) alien abductions. You get the gist, and to hammer home the point, They Are Here is going to feature at the Horror Game Awards 2024. And if you are watching that, then you are well, creepy.
There is a demo of the X-Files inspired (along with a healthy dose of Signs) available on Steam ahead of the full release. If you are going to check it out, we’d advise closing the curtains because nobody needs to play this and look out of the window to see an outsize DJI Mavic buzzing around.
