Evaluation

Uncanny Tales: 1992 is the second episode in VYASTUDIO's ongoing episodic horror series. It launched on September 10, 2025 as a complete, self-contained story. The previous evaluation flagged a third episode ("The Watcher") as planned content — and as of August 5, 2026, that third episode has now shipped as a separate game on Steam. The developer's news post from August 5, 2026 announces The Watcher's release, describing it as a distinct product with its own Steam page and its own purchase price. No further episodes or content have been announced for this specific game (Episode 2). The series continues, but this particular entry is a finished, standalone product, and the previously announced follow-up has now been delivered.
Evidence
Uncanny Tales: The Watcher (the third episode, a separate Steam product) launched on August 5, 2026 — fulfilling the previously announced third episode. No further content announced for this game (Episode 2).

About this game

Uncanny Tales is an episodic horror game where the scariest things aren’t monsters or the supernatural — they’re people themselves. Each story is a new chilling episode, inspired by real-life fears and disturbing situations.

Uncanny Tales: 1992 — Episode Two

Anton, a 14-year-old teenager, moves with his parents to a small provincial town. There's no time to settle in — his parents leave on business, leaving him alone in his grandmother's old apartment.​

Meanwhile, a true nightmare unfolds in the town. Over the past few months, more than ten children have gone missing. Schools are closed, streets are deserted, and the police are powerless. People are afraid to let their children outside, but the disappearances continue...​

Immersed in the unsettling silence of an unfamiliar home and empty streets, Anton begins to notice oddities. Rustling behind the walls, someone's gaze from the darkness, random encounters that only heighten the fear. Something is brewing in this town — and it's no longer clear who is a friend and who is the true evil.​
