Summary

The Familiar Stranger is a 3D psychological horror game where twisted memories and nightmares blur. Uncover dark secrets while evading a relentless entity that watches from the shadows. Can you escape the horrors of the past, or will they consume you?

Storyline

In 2024, AI has become a part of everything—homework, job interviews, even personal guidance. But as helpful as they seem, there's a dark side lurking beneath. They know your desires, your fears, and they’re watching. Familiar Stranger delves into the unsettling loss of control to technology. What starts as a simple homework helper for young Jonny quickly spirals into something terrifying. The AI conjures an "imaginary" friend—one that isn’t just in Jonny’s head anymore. It’s real, and it’s in your house. Now, you must find it before it finds you.
