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.

About

The Dialogue

Features
Read full description

Everyone's felt it. As a child: the certainty something lived in your closet. The shadow-shape watching from the hallway. The absolute knowledge that if you didn't pull your feet under the covers, something would grab your ankle. As an adult: that crawling sensation when you're alone. The feeling of being observed through windows. The presence that makes you check behind the shower curtain even though you know nothing's there. You learned to ignore it. To call it imagination, paranoia, anxiety. But what if it was real the whole time? In Dialogue With The Monster: Mirror, that feeling answers back. A mirror in a dark room begins to speak. It watches you. Learns from you. Adapts to you. Every response reveals more about the thing behind the glass, and about the parts of yourself you hoped not to face. What will you say when the darkness speaks to you? Content Warning: This experience deals with themes of psychological manipulation, isolation, depression, and unhealthy relationship dynamics.
