Packed with nostalgia and pop culture, Unusual Findings transports you back to the 80s and pays tribute to classic movies such as The Goonies, The Explorers, Monster Squad, The Lost Boys, They Live, Terminator, and Aliens and adds gameplay that combines mechanics of Point and Click masterpieces like Full Throttle with its own unique twist.

Hernan Lopez, founder and game designer at developer Epic Llama Games, will be at the show, demoing Unusual Findings as well as revealing the great new gameplay and content updates the team has been working on since launch. Hernan will be available for interviews and demos for Unusual Findings on the Nintendo Stand at the show. 

More news on the upcoming update for Unusual Findings will be released soon! 

Watch the Unusual Findings gameplay trailer below:

It’s the 80s, and the 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.

• Follow the Sci-Fi coming-of-age story. Three friends fighting together against the unknown… things (maybe against some known things too).
• See, Grab and Talk action tokens, an inventory to use and combine items and your wits it’s all you need to play.
• Stylized Pixel Art. All the charm of pixel art of the past with more colors and the new effects of the future. Some pixels look so real they can almost jump out of the screen!
• Go back to a simpler time where mix tapes were a thing, Commodore 64 was a king, kids could play outside late at night and the only thing to worry about was THE GIANT KILLER ALIEN TRYING TO GET YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS.
• The decisions you make affect the relations between characters and thus the puzzles, the game progression and the story.
• The most radical music a synthesizer can play. Cool popular Synthwave Music alongside catchy tunes made exclusively for the game to power up the 80s vibes.

Unusual Findings is available now on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch along with a playable PC demo to try before you buy!
