About This Game

Game Background

Miryam: The Polluted Land takes players on a chilling journey into the heart of emotional turmoil. Ten-year-old Miryam was on the brink. At school, those nasty kids relentlessly mocked her clothes and accent, sometimes even pelting her with stones. At home, her mother’s world revolved around the newborn, leaving Miryam with nothing but orders—"Make the formula!" "Get the diapers!" "Be quiet!" Resentment coiled inside her, tightening day by day, until one evening she whispered to her little brother a wish she didn’t fully mean:

"I wish you would disappear."

And then, he was gone—as if the universe had heard her plea and obeyed. But the price was steep. Miryam herself was cast into the Land of Nod, a cursed, forsaken place where reality twisted and shadows whispered her name.

Here, Miryam meets the mysterious Cultivator, who promises to help her find her brother in exchange for her help in cleansing the land of its monstrous corruption.

But the creatures she faces are far from ordinary; each one seems to tear apart the emotional scars she has endured—scars inflicted by bullying, neglect, and the torment of feeling unseen and unwanted. As she battles through them, Miryam begins to question whether she is truly seeking her brother... or running away from herself.

Game Features

  • Narrative-Driven Experience

Explore the psychological journey of a young girl caught in the depths of bullying and emotional neglect. As Miryam, you’ll face monsters that mirror the real-world trauma of schoolyard taunts, family neglect, and unresolved pain. The game blends dark fantasy with a deep, personal story, forcing you to confront Miryam’s inner demons alongside the literal ones.

  • 20+ Defensive Structures

Defend Miryam from the nightmarish creatures that roam the Land of Nod by strategically placing over 20 different types of Defenses. From explosive Clay Pots to the agile Moths that clear toxic fog, each structure offers a unique way to stop the oncoming horde. Some structure specialize in heavy damage, while others offer utility or crowd control. How you combine these will determine your success!

  • 40+ Monsters with Unique Abilities

Face off against over 40 different monsters, each with distinct abilities and weaknesses. From Kaomen and Lizardmen to the sinister Sin-themed creatures like Greed and Lust, the enemies you encounter are reflections of Miryam’s emotional state, as well as formidable threats in combat.

  • 40+ Challenging Levels

The Land of Nod is vast and varied. Each of the 40+ levels offers a unique set of challenges with different monster combinations. The way you place your Defenses matters—some monsters move quickly, while others can phase through walls or turn invisible. Each level requires careful thought and strategy to survive.

  • PvZ-like Mechanics

Embrace a classic tower defense experience with a twist. In Miryam: The Polluted Land, there’s no need to collect resources like sunflowers. Instead, focus on resource balancing that can hold off the relentless waves of creatures. Every decision you make counts as you strategize the best combinations of Defenses to stop different types of monsters.
