Comedic conspiracy-laden stealth-adventure available exclusively on the Nintendo eShop

Do UFOs exist? Have aliens really walked among us? Sure, a few photos of "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" have now been shared with the the public, but what more secrets do our governments know that they're not telling us? While you may not find answers to all of your questions, you can now grab a camera and do some comedic intelligence gathering in RedDeer.Games' recently released They Know. 

The game is set in an unidentified "top-secret government facility," which is filled to the brim with highly classified evidence of "supernatural" origin, while the rest of the world is left to flounder in unsubstantiated rumour and conspiracy theories. It's your "mission of a lifetime" to break in, sneak around and "capture photos of everything that looks suspicious" if you're to expose the lies and reveal "everything that the people in power are hiding." As you investigate, you should expect the unexpected, even if it's seemingly "the most improbable cases, straight from sci-fi series and movies."

They Know is presented in a hand-drawn, top-down, third-person perspective but viewed as if through the distorted lens of a camera. Described as a "short, but intense" experience, the game promises a "tongue-in-cheek comedy-style stealth adventure with elements of conspiracy and exploration, and a handful of secrets and puzzles." There are six floors in the facility monitored by patrolling guards – some of which seem curiously less than human. To avoid being caught, there are numerous hiding places while you strategize one of multiple different ways to outsmart security and proceed, collecting needed items along the way.   

Willing snoops can get started right away, but only an exclusive group will have access (it's a conspiracy!) as They Know is currently available only for the Switch on the Nintendo eShop.
