Find Your Family After an Alien Abduction in ‘Who Are You!?’; Demo Available Now [Trailer]
If you’re the type that wants to explore the psychological horror of alien abductions (instead of running around with a shotgun), Haunting Humans Studio looks to have your thing with their upcoming title Who Are You!?, which has a demo available now on Steam. Who Are You!? will be released episodically, with the first episode available “around Q4 2025.”
The 20-minute demo explores the introductory level, which the developers say is a deep experience with an immersive narrative, so you’ll need to pay attention to the happenings.
Who Are You!? follows Ray Roswell, who lost his wife 20 years ago in what apparently could be an alien abduction. Now, his only daughter has gone missing. In his search for her, Ray not only embarks on a physical journey but also confronts the emotional and psychological trauma of his past.
For this title, Haunting Humans Studio is working with a psychologist as an advisor to recreate all the real aspects of depression under the circumstances in which Ray is immersed. They’re also working with a team of researchers in the ufology field in order to introduce the real aspects of several alien abduction investigations, and the effects on families that have experienced them, into the story.
Along with input from psychologists and ufologists, Who Are You!? will also focus on environmental storytelling and immersive exploration, along with puzzle-solving aspects and what’s described as “emotional and psychological interactions.”

Demo Launching June 10 for Wild West Action-RPG ‘The Dark West’ [Trailer]
Developer/publisher Black Hand has announced that their upcoming occult wild west game The Dark West will be receiving a playable demo on Steam next week on June 10. In addition, the devs have released a new trailer for the game, which highlights the combat, enemies, and boss battles that define the game’s cruel western landscape.
Set in a cursed frontier where faith clashes with damnation and once-living towns collapse into nightmares, The Dark West is a gritty action RPG shaped by greed, black magic, and the belief that power always comes at a price. The land bears the curse of people who got too greedy, and paid the price for what they were willing to do for it.
Two sides have risen from the ruin. The Order speaks of justice and wears it like armor, unwilling to see the rot growing among its own. Meanwhile, The Damned are already claimed by black magic, cursed and unapologetic about what it has made of them. The real danger is not what waits in the dark, but who’s standing behind you when the killing begins.
Players will choose characters shaped by difficult pasts, where violence settles most questions, and the rest are answered by choices that haunt your soul. In keeping with the Wild West theme, alcohol will give you strength, but at the obvious cost of dulling your senses, requiring you to weigh your options in battle.
