Uncanny Valley

About

Uncanny Valley is a survival horror game that sticks closer to the tense methodical roots of the genre than its modern action-heavy cousins. You'll explore eerie environments solve logic puzzles to advance and manage limited resources to survive encounters with unpredictable threats. The single-player experience emphasizes careful planning over combat with optional lore pieces scattered throughout to deepen the mystery. What sets it apart is its dedication to old-school gameplay mechanics which some players found refreshing and others found frustrating. Released in 2015 it made waves for avoiding trendy third-person shooting mechanics in favor of pure survival elements. The availability on multiple platforms including Switch and Vita lets you tackle its challenges on the go though the PlayStation Vita version is now discontinued. Cowardly Creations’ take on horror leans into atmosphere and puzzle-solving making it a divisive but memorable entry in the indie scene.
