Unknown Tapes, a new horror video game, is making waves with its unique premise of surviving in a modern environment overrun by dinosaurs. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Dino Crisis and Outlast, the game employs the found footage technique to create a realistic and terrifying survival experience.

Players find themselves as prey in a world where dinosaurs hunt them down. Survival in Unknown Tapes demands stealth, wit, and resourcefulness. The game's environment is fraught with danger, featuring destructible buildings that can no longer guarantee safety against larger dinosaur species.

Resources are scarce in this hostile world. Players can find weapons and ammunition, but these are limited and not always effective. The story, expected to be playable in 5-7 hours, unfolds through interactions with various characters, not all of whom are friendly.

Set primarily at night, the game also includes daytime scenes, both outdoor and indoor, with some settings designed to be claustrophobically intense. Unknown Tapes aims to explore realistic encounters between humans and dinosaurs, featuring both classic and lesser-known species, influenced by community feedback and requests.
