Unknown Tapes is a first-person horror game presented as found footage. You explore a modern town and research areas overrun by dinosaurs, trying to survive as you uncover what happened.
The main activity is moving through indoor and outdoor spaces while avoiding predators. Hide, crouch, watch your noise, and sometimes run or use your wits; larger dinosaurs can break through some buildings, so shelter is not always safe.
Search for documents, recordings, keys, and codes to reveal information and open routes forward. The game uses a VHS- and body-camera-style presentation, and in microphone-enabled sections dinosaurs can react to your real-world voice.
Reviewers who enjoyed Unknown Tapes often describe its dinosaur-horror premise, VHS-style presentation, tense atmosphere, and sound design as effective, with some praising its scares and the clues that gradually reveal the story. Others found the stealth and exploration repetitive, criticized dinosaur detection or scripted encounters, and felt the short campaign or its ending fell short.
As an indie studio made up of two guys video game enthusiasts, we really wanted to play a horror video game with dinosaurs, so we decided to create one ourselves. Any feedback is welcome to help us improve, even for future games that are on the way!

You are being hunted by dinosaurs, and you will need to hide, avoid making too much noise, and sometimes use your wits.
Buildings can be destroyed by larger dinosaurs, so you can't always count on finding protection inside.
The game is primarily set at night, featuring both outdoor and indoor environments, some of which may feel claustrophobic.
Thanks to photogrammetry and the graphical power of Unreal Engine 5, we’ve recreated detailed urban environments. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk through a town overrun by dinosaurs?

Thanks to the use of the microphone, dinosaurs can hear your voice when you talk or shout in the real world and will react accordingly to what they perceive

We used the most advanced photogrammetry software to directly bring real-world objects and environments into the game. Many of the things you see actually exist in the real world

Using various software and solutions, we successfully recreated a realistic camera movement by digitizing it and integrating it into the game
