Strangers Here — an atmospheric VHS horror about the "Strangers": unsettling creatures that mimic humans with terrifying precision. In the quiet family park of Willingstone, something has gone horribly wrong. People are vanishing, animals are falling ill, and inhuman screams echo from the forest at night. The special agency D.I.C. has been tracking incidents like these for a long time. Now it's your turn — learn to tell the real from the imitation, and uncover the true nature of these beings.
