They Looked Like Us
A downloadable game for Windows
"The existence of the Uncanny Valley implies there was once an evolutionary reason to be afraid of something that looked human, but wasn't".
An emergency broadcast urges people to stay inside and follow careful instructions to survive. Turn the lights off and close the curtains, do not let them find you.
They Looked Like Us is a short horror game based around the concept of skinwalkers in an EAS scenario within a grainy 480p graphical style. The game is roughly 6 minutes long, as it was created as a college assignment with a tight deadline.
Controls:

I hope you enjoy my first finished horror game!

While its a concept we've seen, the way this game was executed was Good! Wish there was more to it, but this being one of your first games, the atmosphere is very well done and I can see it being even better in a more fleshed out experience. Hope to see more!
