Humans Are Weird

At a space base located in Sector 32 of deep space, mysteries hide revelations about the people of Terra; you will need to master the art of research, interviewing, and theorizing to figure out what is going on… before something more dire occurs.

After playing Humans are Weird players should be able to list one uniquely human trait concerning biology and become more aware of how this trait affects themselves, others, and their environment.

You take on the role of a humanologist on a space base located in deep space, where your role is to make sure the people of Terra are not just taken care of but happy as well since humans can be dangerous when angry. At this point, there have been minor conundrums with the humans but nothing dire until blood is seen on the lid of the waste receptacle in Sector 13c, and it has to be that of a human. Your mission is to solve whose blood it is, what is happening, and how to prevent such things in the future.

This demo will feature two distinct phases, the Investigation, and the Theory. In the first phase, the player will have a limited amount of time to explore the base and locate research or evidence that will help in the investigation, as well as interview other crew members on their knowledge. Each time the player investigates or interviews, time will be taken away from what is left, so prioritizing what the player thinks is beneficial will be the best bet. Then in the Theory phase, the player will take the research and evidence they have collected and categorize them in a puzzle, to figure out a theory to report back to the captain.

What makes Humans are Weird unique is that the players will have to experience humans from a different point of view and see how they could appear to other species. As humans, we feel like we have a good grasp of who we are, but there is always more to explore about ourselves. Without this exploration, there would be no need for psychology, biology, or sociology. By putting the player in the shoes of the alien looking at humans we open the experience to seeing a new side to traits we have never seen before and truly understanding just how weird we are.
