It's just that it's the subgenre where the hidden supernaturals are the protagonists. Just like in Angel.X-Files bends & blends; I wasn't a fan, but watched a few. The urban part? Yeah, I consider it weakly definitional. It needs to have enough population to hide in. Weaker than the hidden part.  If the whole town is aware, and the game is set in the town, no, that's a related genre. If instead it's set in a neighboring town, and the critters are trying to move in.For comparison, I do consider Stranger Things to be UF. No one believes the kids... unless the individuals are part of the conspiracy.Tales from the Loop doesn't quite hit it, being (at least in the half-season I watched) closer to whatever the heck the genre of Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and Dimension 404 share...  The game, however, can be, depending upon how it's run. (It's a case of the game being inspirational and the streaming show a different beast than the game on many levels.)The one I want to run, however, is Feng Shui 2... Cyberapes, ancient socerers, transformed animals living as humans... and time travel. The moderns portions are UF; the past aren't exactly, and the future juncture is post-holocaust.</blockquote>
