Description

You're terrified having to hide all the time. Those who you thought were your faithful servants have switched camps and now are hunting you down. Your friends and family have been abducted. You don't know where they are or what happened to them and there's nothing you can do about it. Survival by hiding is what seems to be the only option with no hope and zero understanding of the reasoning behind it all. You're an outcast, a criminal, an outlaw just because you're a human being.

The Uncertain is an episodic, story-driven adventure game, set in a post-apocalyptic world: Humanity has been all but wiped out, and a tyrannical civilization of robots now holds Earth in an iron grip.

The first episode is available on Steam: playing as a robot named RT, you uncover the story of how a small group of human resistance fighters uncovered the truth about humanity's downfall and tried to help the few, scattered survivors. Episode Two follows the same events, but from a different point of view...

You will play as Emily, who is one of a small number of people who survive by evading the ever-watchful surveillance state that humans and their robot servants have created. To try and escape from this situation Emily will endure great ordeals, make life-or-death decisions, and take part in an atmospheric and thrilling adventure.

The first episode of The Uncertain was well received by the critics(6 awards at various indie game development festivals) and players(80% out of 804 Steam reviews).

Episode 2 script received German literature award "Die Grosse Nordklingen" for best game script.
