Global conversation around extraterrestrial life has reignited following recent remarks from former U.S. President Barack Obama, who joked in an interview that aliens are “real,” though not hidden away at Area 51. Shortly after, President Donald Trump ordered U.S. agencies to identify and release long-rumored UFO and extraterrestrial-related files, citing overwhelming public interest.
Once again, the world is looking to the skies and wondering what might be looking back.
When the Headlines Become Personal
That question sits at the heart of They Are Here, an upcoming first-person alien abduction horror experience launching this fall.
Developed by auteur creator DEKLAZON, They Are Here explores what happens when disclosure stops being theoretical and becomes terrifyingly personal.
Players step into the role of investigative journalist Taylor Fox, dispatched to a remote, family-run farm after reports of strange lights, missing persons, and unsettling activity. What begins as a routine assignment quickly spirals into a nightmare rooted in secrecy, surveillance, and first-contact terror.
This is a story about isolation.
About uncertainty.
About standing alone in a dark cornfield and realizing you are not alone.
Alien Horror Beyond the Headlines
While real-world debates focus on government transparency and classified files, They Are Here asks a different question: what does it feel like when the unknown steps into your world?
The game blends grounded sci-fi horror with investigative gameplay, challenging players to:
- Document unexplained sightings
- Uncover hidden military facilities
- Piece together fragments of a truth never meant to surface
- Survive through observation, not brute force
Themes of paranoia, small-town secrets, and psychological dread drive the experience, creating a slow-burning horror that mirrors today’s real-world curiosity and anxiety around extraterrestrial life.
Play the Prologue Now
Players can experience the full prologue of They Are Here right now with a free demo available on Steam. The demo offers an early look at the game’s atmosphere, investigative mechanics, and chilling approach to first contact ahead of its full release later this year.
If aliens aren’t locked away in Area 51, as the former president suggests, nthen perhaps the truth is closer to home than we think.
