About Unusual Findings
It's the 80s, and Christmas is coming. Young friends, Vinny, Nick and Tony are trying out their new cable signal descrambler when trying to decrypt a pay-per-view adult channel, they pick up the distress signal of an alien spaceship crash-landed in the woods near their town… Things only get weirder as they realize that the towering alien is killing very specific members of their community!
Explore the world oozing with nostalgia, check the Video Buster Store for clues, challenge other kids at the Laser Llamas Arcades, go learn a new trick at The Emerald Sword comic store, try to get along with the punk-looking Lost Boys at their hideout or even dare to ask THE BULL, the quintessential 80s Action hero, for some help!
Your decisions do matter, and the way you make these three friends interact with each other increasingly affects their friendship and the whole story, changing the way they solve the game puzzles, the locations they visit, the answers they find, the story, everything.
Uncover the truth hidden behind the alien invasion… well sort of. Why here? Why is it killing locals? How can the boys stop it? Will they tune in to the adult channel after all? The answers to these and other questions… in Unusual Findings.
