Uncanny Games is a house of seven games, a 24-hour animated news channel, and an anchor who never blinks. Browser-native. End to end. Free to lose.

Uncanny Games is a platform for live games in a browser tab — no installs, no launcher, no app store. Seven rooms in development, one open tonight (chess), and a 24-hour news channel running underneath them. Marv Sterling anchors UNN: a daily wire, a flagship desk show, animated puppet comedy at 03:00, and ad-break promos generated nightly. The platform is end-to-end real-time — voice, chat, scores, news, identity — and built by Virtual Worlds Co., a Cape Town company building virtual worlds and the systems that run them.

Uncanny Games is a browser-native platform for live, multiplayer games — built end-to-end as a single living system instead of a list of separate titles. Seven rooms are in development. Chess is fully open: real-time multiplayer with voice, equippable piece sets, and a chess AI that plays when no human is around. Brawl, worms, the gauntlet, pairs, reflex, alchemy, and poker are on the bench while we build them.

Around the games is UNN — a 24-hour news channel anchored by Marv Sterling. A daily open-data wire (markets, weather, ISS, aurora), a flagship desk show, scheduled programming across five named shows (Morning Wire, Day Desk, Prime, After Hours, Graveyard), ad-break sponsor slates, and an AI-puppet comedy show called After Dark that runs at night. The platform is built by Virtual Worlds Co., a Cape Town company building virtual worlds and the systems that run them, and runs entirely in a browser tab.
