first off, it really has nothing to do with aliens. it just a weird game with existential ideas and notions. its okay but dont think its an ufo game. 6 out of 10 for me. not worth the cost,unfortunately
A short walking simulator with some BASIC puzzle elements. It's mostly about the set pieces, so if you like macroarchitecture this game is for you!
One of the more theatrical walking simulators I've played, and the length is at a good spot.
Other than the atmospherics, the gameplay is worthless. If it had just been a video, there would be some merit. Puzzles are not intuitive, and not interesting.
A game that runs (or walks) the length of a short film will always make me crave greater interactivity, but this was executed nicely for what it is. Visually interesting--early on, I love that POV reversal between the player and the UFO; the craft itself feeling more like an entity, rather than something piloted by an entity. Solid sound design and voice-over as well, effectively creepy atmosphere overall. It does the UFO/UAP/alien/NHI topic justice. Despite the latest push for disclosure, there aren't many games exploring it.
I'm rooting for you guys to keep making games. Ideally longer ones and with a variety of gameplay gimmicks, not to compromise the focus on storytelling but enhance it.
short interesting trip in grayscale
Cheap, short and sweet.
Deep atmosphere, great sound design, except for water-walking.
Could be so much more.
Going to start this game having nice graphics, and there are some really nice ideas with the visuals. But, that's really about all there is to this game.
Remember, this is just a walking simulator. There are a few bits that could be considered mechanics, but that's basically just pick a thing up then drop it somewhere else. Don't look for anything like puzzles or anything
So, what do we get out of this game? You get a bit of a monologue from an alien. Oh, and two endings, but more about later. The story of the game is you as the player, minding yourself, as all of a sudden you are abducted by something. What after that, you have about 30 minutes of an alien that tells us how earthlings are bad and you should feel bad. Basically, anyway.
Now, the endings. This game has two of them. The only way to see the ending is to get to one of the ending, restart a new game and go through all of the same monologue to see the other ending. It's not a long time, but it is annoying. But it comes into about 30 minutes of play, then another extra just to get to the other ending.
If you still enjoy this sort of experience, then give it a try. Just don't expect too much time.

If you’d like to see the game in motion through my eyes, [url=https://kuoushi.com/videos/unveiling-complete-archive/]take a look at this complete archive of me playing it[/url] here. It should give you a good idea of how the game plays and what to expect.
Um, Nope!
I can't believe this "game" has ANY positive reviews, let alone several. This had to be the most boring and pointless game I've ever played, and I've played a LOT of games (not all great). In one review, I read the game described as "immersive." That's not the experience I had. The dialog was sparse, simple, and vague. No deep thoughts that I could discern. There were a few cool visuals, all black and white, but that's it. There were 2 or 3 very simple puzzles. Other than that, there is very little gameplay. Oh, there's a lot of walking around without much to see. Yup, here's lots of that in this short game.
For far too much of the game, you feel like you're wandering around aimlessly and most of the time it's dark, so you're not even sure where you're going, much less WHY you had to do all that walking without seeing anything but darkness. Of course, you do end up SOMEWHERE (I guess... if you could call it that), but was it really necessary to do all that meaningless walking to get there? Although the game only lasted about 20-25 minutes, it felt slow and drawn out. I know, my stats show I spent 105 minutes, but I paused halfway through and went and had breakfast. I'm not even sure why I came back to complete this insipid "game."
вау. игра на 40 минут, но это будут 40 минут визуального и аудиального удовольствия. Обязательно в наушниках.

sieht cool aus, hat nette Ideen und Mechaniken, sowie Environmental Design wirklich sehr cool.
Allerdings sehr kurz, etwas kryptisch und am Ende des Tages nunmal leider nur ein fancy Laufsimulator.
Rating:
Dito: 3.8/5

Gesamt: 3.65/5
short and thought-provoking. I only wish it was a tab bit longer given I was able to get through it, with a bit of exploration, in just over 20 minutes. If you have 30 minutes free in your day, I would recommend playing through for the experience
aesthetically it's an easy 10/10

音效和氛围特别加分。
Unveiling is a short game with thought provoking narrative. It's like poetry inside a game - visuals and sounds to convey a deeper meaning that really makes you speculate what the authors had in mind whilst creating it.
*Spoilers ahead*
My understanding of the game is that it's portraying the brittle history of the world using old statues and at the end the sensually designed experience whilst constructing the "Little Boy" nuke, it is much more intense than the rest - this made me really realise the severity of the nuke being built this time around rather than another statue as it makes the player sense the severity of this exact object being around - it might destroy the rest.
The creepy maze that you have to go through it seems that it doesn't matter what path you take you will get through it - it seems like this means EVOLUTION - no matter what you do it's human to explore and you will reach the next chapter EVENTUALLY. However this is all my theory and it can definitely be wrong!
Anyways I see that this game shows potential and hope to see more from this new studio in the future!
充满自我艺术表达的作品，迷雾中的女声低喃，黑暗中突然出现的光明，很奇妙地感受到一种神秘，倒是让我逐渐理解游戏标题的unveiling的含义。很有意思的诠释，就是相当短，走两步路就结束了。
20 min playtime not worth it
I really enjoyed exploring this little world. It's almost as if Carl Sagan and Whitley Strieber sat down together to create a game. Highly recommended if you have more than a passing interest in the UFO/UAP experience.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a one-hour playtime at all, but for that I feel like it should blow me away in that timeframe. I've played games like that before, this sadly isn't one. The idea of reinterpreting what a "UFO" is into more of a transcendent spiritual body instead of just an alien spaceship full of little green men is inspired, and the imagery at the start of the game follows through on that concept.
Then it sort of devolves into stone corridors, then just untextured rectangular blocks... you sometimes get a cool vista, but I feel like you can see everything neat in just the trailer. The greek statues aren't random, they're part of the game's theme, but they still lack a sense of specificity, like any borrowed asset, appropriate or no.
I think the big issue here is that while moving away from the purely stereotypical UFO stuff is, like I said, inspired, it almost goes too far in the other direction. Outside of that intro with the wobbly surreal flying saucer, I feel like it's almost inappropriate for this game to be tagged as Aliens or Sci-fi at all. Going from one extreme to another, this work doesn't really engage with the popular conception of UFOs *at all,* even as critique or deconstruction. The imagery doesn't evoke anything specific at all, just "woo surreal."
Short experience but totally worth it. Good work! Thanks for this little gem <3
I listened and I understood :)
Feels like a pleasant journey and a great story for player to unveil. 10/10 recommended to get abducted.
Unveiling offers a short brutalist trip into a foreign alien structure. There isn't much dept to gameplay, you just take the environment in and marvel at the megastructure's architecture.
In the same vein as NaissancE, Fugue in the Void, There was the Moon and so on...
The story rich tag is far fetched, but I love walking simulator where I can just vibe with the structure so I enjoyed it for what it was
we're here.
Not a lot of gameplay here, so you don't actually get to play. You get to experience it, the atmosphere captures you. When trying it, it reminded me a lot of the games that Crows Crows Crows make (Stanley Parable, Accounting, Dr. Langeskov...).
P.S. the lady's voice reminded me of a internet video, where a woman is pampering her dog and keeps repeating "little boy".
A short walking simulator and puzzle story. Just don't get lost in the myriad labyrinths.
Cinematic ASMR experience. Highly recommend it!!!
Pretty cool, short alien abduction style walking sim with puzzle elements.
I'm not too sure what to rate this cause on one hand the game is well designed and atmospherically it was good I'll give it that but the game largely is a hold down "W" sim and assembling statues as "puzzles" to progress the game (it required no thinking lol). I don't know why an alien would make me assemble a broken statues but this one did and I feel like this part of the game could of been better
I wouldn't recommend it considering how there's not much going on in this game

Its short. Light on plot but makes up for it tenfold with mood. I'm a big fan of mood and atmosphere.
Short, confusing, esoteric, and incredibly atmospheric.
I'm not sure if I can truly recommend this, but i did enjoy my time with it.
As an afterthought, the lady doing the voice over has an excellent voice. This is the closest I've ever come to understanding the appeal of ASMR.
Watch a REDNECK get annoyed doing a lets play.

About 30 minutes long of a game. Really trippy at some points. Its less than an hour if you run through it twice.
Bizarre game and I don't necessarily understand what they were trying to convey but I enjoyed myself nevertheless. I played through both endings if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/FdGecZtif3Q
マルチエンディングなのかは分かりませんが、開始から最後まで30～40分程でした。UFO(UAP)という存在は現代では徐々に都市伝説を超えた実在する事柄としてニュースでも度々取り上げられていますが、そこと精神世界を繋げるというのは荒唐無稽でも何でもなくごく自然に感じられる不思議なゲームでした。
心象風景のような次から次に現れるステージはどれも幾何学的で非常に美しく、リミナルスペースを彷彿とさせる面もありどこか郷愁と不気味さも感じられました。
日本語版は無いですが、ゲームの進行には特に不便は無いかと思います。雰囲気ゲームがお好きな方にはお勧めです。
turns out the real monochrome vaporwave aliens were the friends we made along the way
I dont really know how i feel about this game.
I was expecting more UFO/UAP related content, but its more of a human consciousness sort of artistic game. In that regard its good and does what it does well.
If it was $0.99 or free I'd give it a thumbs up, but for $3 to just hold down the W key and occasionally put pieces together and say "what the ♥♥♥♥?" I feel kinda gypped. Theres an art here and its more like an interactive video and a walking sim. I would encourage subtitles, as for someone deaf or HoH like me, I couldn't really hear the voice over all that well and ultimately didnt understand the game as much as i probably should've.

Astonishing. Loved it. The mere fact that the promo material used the current proper terminology (UAP) caught my interest, and I was not disappointed. A very short game, but brilliant on many levels. Elements of the psychedelic breakthrough experience in here, too, which was fascinating.
I think alien guy from History Channel approves and would be proud. Atmospheric, immersive game. Lovely. But only for those who are in narrative driven visual gasms, Jonas Mekas avant-garde style, indie games. Also for those who like aliens...and for the greeks...and 2001: A Space Odyssey nerds...not recommended for people with vertigo problems. All in all sexy :)
Unveiling is an enigmatic gaming experience that seamlessly blends beautiful aesthetics and eeriness. This uniquely captivating game is tailor-made for those seeking a mesmerising short-story playthrough.
"A simple, well-made walking sim(?). A very cinematic experience with fantastic visuals and superb sound design. The story (if one could call it that) is interesting and wraps up well. One thing I didn't like much was the puzzles. It's not really puzzles; it's more like go - grab - bring back chores. I think even the simplest type of puzzle would improve gameplay a lot. Besides that, I definitely recommend playing it. Perfect for a short coffee break.
A great narrative game experience made by a small, yet competitive and capable team! It looks like a lot of work has gone into the look and sound of the game, so if you enjoy unusual and never-before-seen visuals, you will definitely enjoy the story of the game :)
A delightful, mysterious, monochromatic, ASMR adventure that is well worth the price of admission.
"come with me. this is the way"
Labai neįprastas, nors ir trumpas, bet tikrai įdomus Lietuvių kurtas žaidimas, verta išbandyti kiekvienam!
A short immersive game that works great on MAC and also in sketchy resolution like 1080x1920 (portrait)
A short nice game and work great on steam deck

Well... that was really something that I did not expect at all!
I thought that this was just a simple walking simulator, but I got an excruciating trip through mind-blowing environments instead!
Very atmospheric, can't go wrong with greek statues and aliens. Really makes you think.
A short, yet immersive experience featuring atmospheric environments and a thought-provoking narrative.
Unveiling is an impactful experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional gaming. It beautifully merges elements of sci-fi with a deep exploration of human consciousness, creating a mesmerizing trip that will make you want to experience mushrooms. If you're looking for a game that challenges the mind and leaves you with a sense of wonder, Unveiling is an absolute must-play.
