Unusual Findings has players joining three teenagers - Vinny, Nick and Tony - as they uncover a strange number of mysteries going on right under their noses. One night, when trying to decrypt a pay per view adult channel, as teenagers do, they pick up the distress signal of an alien spaceship. The teens soon discover that that’s not the only weird thing happening in their town.

Get ready to feel like you’ve jumped right into the 80s as Unusual Findings takes inspiration from teen adventure movies like The Goonies, Monster Squad and The Lost Boys. Gameplay will remind point-and-click fans of the likes of Monkey Island or Grim Fandango. Players will have to visit the game’s different 80s-inspired locations, solve puzzles and make difficult choices that will affect their friendship and the entire story. Those looking for a hit of nostalgia are sure to fall in love with this wacky, spooky, out of this world story.

Features Include:

  • A classic 90s-inspired point-and-click adventure with retro 80s style
  • Stylish (and stylized) pixel-art with modern shader and lighting effects
  • Fully voiced dialogue without the hassle of installing a dozen floppy disks
  • True old-school puzzle design. Mash together every item in your inventory
  • An authentically retro synthwave soundtrack for the 80s Hollywood flavor
  • A cast of charming and memorable characters and three playable heroes
  • No pixel-hunting - reveal all interaction hotspots with a handy assist mode

The full version of Unusual Findings is set to launch on Steam in winter 2021. If you’re ready to dive in right away, you can jump into the demo right now on Steam and give it a try. If you like what you see, you can also head over to the Kickstarter page to back the project.

You can also check out Unusual Findings as part of the Steam Next Fest, running right now until October 7th, along with several other exciting new demos from Buka Entertainment.

Codes for the extended preview of the game are available now with a special “Streamer Mode” included. Streamer Mode replaces Dead or Alive’s 80s super hit Spin Me Round with safe music so there’s no fear of copyright. You can spin right round, baby, right round to your heart's content.
