About Third Kind
Plot
Miles Wilson is a journalist known for investigating the unusual and unexplained — disappearances, eerie coincidences, and the dark secrets of shadowy government-linked organizations. One such case begins when he’s contacted by Thomas Green, a farmer whose son mysteriously vanished — seemingly right from inside their home.The police initially showed little concern. The responding officer, a family acquaintance, suggested the boy had likely run away due to ongoing psychological struggles and depression. But not long after, plainclothes agents arrived at the farm. They took over the situation, ordered Thomas to vacate the house indefinitely, and offered no explanation — neither about what had happened nor about the fate of his son. Left in the dark, the desperate farmer turned to the one man known for uncovering the extraordinary: Miles Wilson.From the brief conversation with the farmer, Miles learned that his son was a radio enthusiast who loved tinkering with electronics and chasing distant signals. Weeks before vanishing, he had mentioned intercepting a strange number station. Thomas also described a series of increasingly bizarre events on the farm — odd animal behavior, strange flashing lights over the fields at night, and one morning, he discovered that a large section of the cornfield had been flattened. Realizing that something deeply unusual was unfolding, Miles resolved to uncover the truth and hurried to the farm...

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I'm not sure if I played a different game from the other reviewers, but this game was REALLY not good. Maybe I missed a critical step, but half of the screenshots used on the steam page (above) were never even present in the game. I didn't see a single actual alien, or ever use that handheld radio (or whatever it is). Were there multiple paths to take in game? Multiple endings? Cause it wasn't apparent at all and the story direction was SUPER confusing. The game sequence of events goes: [spoiler] Arrive at farm -> open some doors in the house -> power outage -> walk to gas station for gas for generator -> nobody at gas station -> dont get gas and just steal a random car -> drive for 10mins -> wind up at military base -> end [/spoiler] Legit made no sense.5 found this helpful
The ending is the worst ending i have ever seen in a videogame...3 found this helpful
Completed the game with 100% achievements. A phenomenal realistic horror ufo game where you uncover the mysteries on a country road town, a farmhouse and alien bases. Find the ufo's and immerse yourself in the trippy levels, tons of fun content and cool ufo alien vibes, love the game2 found this helpful
Yeah, I hate to say it, but it's terrible. It's so bad. I hate leaving negative reviews,2 found this helpful
A visually stunning game with a great story. The horror elements are terrifying, from ambient sounds to unexpected scares, the game keeps you alert and on edge. The ending could be expanded on, or an alternate ending could be added (perhaps in relation to the broadcast signal). With that said, 'Third Kind' is a well crafted indie game that I would recommend playing. Here's a link to my play-through if you wish to check it out: https://youtu.be/pFLmJhxAm0c
I really liked the game, it reminded me of all the classics like The X-Files, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Signs, etc. Sure, there are room for improvement, but I think it has a lot of potential.
