After its initial reveal last year, developer DEKLAZON had dropped a new story trailer for their upcoming alien abduction title They Are Here: Alien Abduction Horror. The trailer focuses on journalist Taylor Fox, who is investigating an alien abduction involving the Sherman family at Grayswood Farm, and the consequences of him looking a little too far into someone’s business.
Wearing its obvious inspiration from The X-Files on its sleeve, They Are Here also draws from films like Signs, Dark Skies, The Gracefield Incident, War of the Worlds and others. The game follows journalist Taylor Fox, who is contacted by a farmer named Peter Sherman, who tells Fox about terrifying, inexplicable phenomena occurring on his farm. Fox heads over to investigate, but finds the home deserted. The animals on the Sherman farm are sick, infected by some parasite. From a note, Fox learns that the farmer’s daughter Megan had disappeared. Eventually Fox finds Peter’s wife Susan, who is behaving oddly.
Fox’s investigation soon uncovers a secret military complex near the farm, which has been watching the Sherman family. And now, the military is watching Fox.
Gameplay for They Are Here involves you doing your journalistic duties of taking pictures, while also doing a bit of research on the Sherman family. You’ll also be trekking around at night to get more information, but luckily you’ll have your flashlight with you. Despite that, Fox soon starts seeing figures that don’t quite look human…
They Are Here: Alien Abduction Horror is slated to arrive later this year on PC via Steam. A demo is currently available.
