Instead, you are treated to quality atmospheric sound effects that keep up with the visuals. Even the animation is so smooth, comparable to AAA titles like Resident Evil: Village in terms of visual quality.įor the sound, it doesn’t feature a soundtrack, which is to be expected. It has surprisingly clear and crisp visuals that are almost lifelike, then processed through the retro VCR filter. This ends the game without any purpose, aside from hyping up the full version.Usually, indie games under the found-footage subgenre are presented in low-resolution polygonal graphics to capture the feel of early Sega Saturn or PlayStation games, but not Countryside 1999. The first half reveals something about the premise of the entire game while the second half abruptly ends. They both focus on an urban setting and let the player explore and interact with the environment. In terms of the pacing, the demo feels like a short sample for two different parts of the game. The white fleshy creature feels overused since it looks like something from The Forest or L4D. One factor that contributes to this shortcoming is the overall design of the monster. The entire game, however short, is tense and unnerving. It leaves you unprepared for the sudden jumpscare that happens just as fast.Īlthough it uses atmospheric tension with the 3D quality of the game, it fails to make an effective horror scene when it matters the most. This particular trait works in adding tension as it makes the game unsettling from the start. The game offers a good quality of detail from the monster to the environment. It has fairly decent visuals for a demo indie game.

The first thing you’d notice with They Are Here! (Demo) is its graphics.
