This is a small introductory episode to the future game. It shows an incident that took place long before the events at Grayswood Farm.

The prologue tells the story of the first contact with a UFO, which happened 30 years before the events shown in the demo. The protagonist is Private Michael Anderson, who works at a military base near Grayswood Farm. By a coincidence, he becomes a witness to terrible, inexplicable events.

Development history:

We are working on this game with my wife. We are big fans of horror, sci-fi and disaster movies. We especially love films about aliens, for example: Signs, Dark Skies, War of the Worlds and many others.

We decided to look at the references, and realized that we could not find any good horror games about aliens, although this is an amazingly interesting topic. We were very excited and started working on the game more seriously. We want to make an alien abduction horror, in the style of the movie Signs or Dark Skies. We deliberately use some "clichés" from the cinema to evoke a sense of nostalgia. For example, cornfields, implants behind the ear, gray aliens, etc.

When people play our demo, they often say that they are big fans of horror movies about aliens, but they cannot remember a single horror game on this topic. I think we definitely got into some layers of people who like this topic and who want to get this experience in a video game.
