About
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!

Unknown Tapes is a horror video game that employs the found footage technique to narrate a story focused on survival in a modern setting overrun by dinosaurs. It aims for realism and draws inspiration from Dino Crisis and Outlast.
A story will unfold, with an expected playtime of 2-3 hours from start to finish
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

Довольно хорошая игра на один раз. Решила попробовать этот хоррор именно из-за участие в нем динозавров. Атмосфера держится хорошо, пока вы не доходите до локации городка, а самый страшный скример для меня был в начале - когда надо было найти код для первой двери и прям возле забора под боком очень громко заорал велоцираптор. Это было очень неожиданно и громко Сами модельки динозавров не такие уж и плохие, я бы дала 7 баллов из 10, но анимации деревянные (кроме больших диников). Ближе к концу игры ты очень вряд-ли будешь бояться, но еще будет пару напряженных моментов. Концовка очень скучная. Там тебе нужно бегать по коридорам от динозавра-мутанта. Все было бы не так плохо, если бы от него нельзя было просто на своих двоих убегать без проблем. Еще и ИИ у него слегка поломанный, из-за чего он тебя может учуять то с другого конца коридора, либо не учуять вообще у себя на хвосте. Сюжет скучноватый, но для хоррора-бродилки пойдет.
Середнячок для коллекции разве что. Проходится за 2 часа не торопясь. Плюсы: + Динозавры - хоррор игр с динозавтрами достаточно мало Минусы: - Баги - часто застреваешь в текстурах, бег здесь вообще особо не нужен, он не поможет, разве что с последним динозавром - Сюжет - короткий и не особо интересный - Механики - их тут по сути нет, крадёшься и иногда прячешься, по сюжету можно было бы взять пистолет, но гг овощ :) Особо писать нечего на самом деле. Скучная и не особо интересная, да и ещё короткая.
For a dinosaur horror game It's pretty good. Although the jumpscares could have been a little better. They're less scary and more annoyingly loud (mostly the raptors and marp-1). I enjoyed the story it was really interesting although I wish we got to see more of it. Maybe another game running off the the same story line? Also I do wish some dinosaurs had bigger roles then they did. Like the spino and theri. Both of the models for them where really cool and it's a shame neither of them had a bigger role other then a few scripted jumpscares. The parts where it could pick up your mic where really cool but I feel like there should have been more jumpscares or elements that caused the player to gasp or something to make those parts more intense because it honestly wasn't that hard to stay quit even with high Mic sensibility. Despite the fact it could be improved on in some places I think it's a good game and did enjoy playing it a lot. So if you're looking for a quick horror game and like dinosaurs this is great pick.
Good game nice story played well thank you dev's for custom keybinds so much easier to play. I hope you make more and continue the series I didn't think the compound would work vs all the dino's especially not that creepy Marp-1 thing that is part Human.
BEI DISEN SPIEL HABE ICH ETWAS GEMISCHTE GÜFÖLE BECKOMEN DAS GAME WAR GUT ABER ICH HAP NICHT RICHTIG FERSCHDANDEN WAS DAS ENDE DASCHDELEN SOLL ABER WAR OK 5/10
so scary and fun
Very atmospheric, the frame rate and graphics are excellent, i'd love a game like this with slow zombies in and a nice 1911 m92, and a mossberg 500 pump shotgun! no one has done a good one yet that you can play "Without" NEEDING an internet connection, but yeah this is really intense! Thank you devs
Se você ama dinossauros e terror, esse jogo é um prato cheio! Unknown Tapes é um jogo simples, com uma narrativa legal e uma ambientação incrível. O maior ponto positivo do jogo são os efeitos sonoros e o trabalho de áudio, realmente aterrorizante. Recomendo muito!
A really limited game, the story is completely off-the-cuff, you can already finish it in 3.5 hours on the first playthrough, and there are very few tense moments. The graphics and gameplay are really poor, and I kind of regret buying it. Honestly, I expected much more. I would have appreciated it if it were a mobile game.
Boring game. Nothing but collecting notes, codes and keys. Crouching around dinosaurs with very basic AI. Animations and atmosphere is good. But if you're wanting a good dinosaur game. I cannot recommend this and the mostly positive reviews is puzzle if not outrageous.
