   It's one of this game where you don't know what's going on and it's disturbing.

The game seems lengthy and there are too many endings to get. Tom runs as if he was Buck, which is about 5 seconds of sprinting before he is fully out of breath. If you do 1 thing wrong, you're all like "wait what?? whats happening? where am I?". Also, if you die, you go back to the very beginning. The game can be fun to kick time or if you're interested in the "different" graphics. I have played it and had to play it about 4 times until i eventually gave up, always coming to something I clearly shouldn't have.… Expand

I knew going into this game that there would be multiple endings, but I didn't think any of them would come so soon. I was thinking I could maybe start from where I left off rather than go through the mundanity of the game's opening, but NOPE. At the very least you'd think they'd drop you at a point where your decisions actually matter, but the game simply starts over and you have to go through the same unskippable opening credits and dialogue again.
   
   I played through it a few times, two of those times getting the same ending (though in one instance I didn't even interact with the featured character in my playthrough). Fortunately I got this game for free via PS+, but I can't imagine paying full price and getting upon what I got.… Expand

It plays like an old 8-bit game, apart from the voice acting, and somehow creates a good, menacing enough atmposphere to hook a player into it's promisng story. However, a few points about it begin to bring it down, like the clunky controls and the multiple endings which are very sparse and quite open ended. The characters are crafted well actually, except the protagonist strangely, as he remains as bland by the end as the first step on day 1. It includes old mechanics of a point and click genre that is hard to fathom what to use where, and finding the interaction point for it can sometimes take ages. Overall, this game has some nice ideas for the retro horror genre, but fails to deliver enough of a punch or a climactic ending to keep gamers interested for long.… Expand

   Despite its old school graphical appearance Uncanny Valley is able to create a disturbing atmosphere, unfortunately it almost seems to beDespite its old school graphical appearance Uncanny Valley is able to create a disturbing atmosphere, unfortunately it almost seems to be going out of its way at times to make things unenjoyable.
   
   The first half of the game sees the player controlled character (Tom) starting his job as the night watchmen of a closed down facility in the middle of nowhere. The initial nightmare sequence and ride through the snow with fellow employee Buck set the scene well enough but the game all too quickly settles down into a repetitive gameplay loop. Each night you're given roughly 5 minutes to look around the facility, which essentially just involves collecting cassette tapes to reveal the backstory, and complete a simple task such as meeting a friend or getting the power up and running again after it goes out. For some reason you then have to make your way back to your room, which takes around a minute each time, and is made all the more irritating by the fact that your character can run all of 5 paces before he gets out of breath. Providing you make it make you'll then play another short nightmare sequence which, although effectively creepy, involve no more actual gameplay than the rest of the game.
   
   This loop repeats for several nights before it is dropped for a more conventional type of survival horror experience but, while it becomes less repetitive, it actually becomes an even more frustrating experience with some sequences and scenes that simply aren't explained to the player at all.
   
   Uncanny Valley is a short game, apparently designed to be played multiple times so that different endings can scenes can be seen depending on player choices, to be honest though I can't say I even enjoyed my first play-through so there is no way I'll be going through it all again.… Expand

   Dumb. When your shift ends you have to walk back home and get to your bed before you collapse from fatigue. But it takes so long to get backDumb. When your shift ends you have to walk back home and get to your bed before you collapse from fatigue. But it takes so long to get back to your home and to your bed and back to your job again the next day that you only really get a few minutes of exploration time. Plus time is counting down when you're reading stuff or doing puzzles. It's very tedious and annoying, and sometimes you'll get back to your bed and it'll tell you that your shift isn't over yet or sometimes your manager will tell you your late. I actually hated it.… Expand
